Silicone-based Release Coatings Market to Observe Strong Development by 2025
Coating
is either a film or covering applied on the surface of an object,
generally referred to as ‘substrate’. A release agent is a
chemical used to prevent other materials/carriers from bonding to
surfaces/substrates, providing a critical barrier between them.
Release coating is a film, which is coated on one or two sides with a
release agent, offering a release effect against an adhesive.
Silicone, referred to as polysiloxanes, is a polymer having alternate
links of silicon and oxygen atoms. Silicone-based release coatings
imply silicone as a releasing agent between two potentially
interacting substrates. Such release coatings are often used as back
side coatings for paper products or films for various cohesive and
pressure sensitive adhesive applications. The function of these
coatings is to alter surface properties such as adhesion,
wettability, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance of substrates.

Report Overview @
The
global silicone-based release coatings market is primarily driven by
the increase in demand in food and bakery, hygiene, and medical
industries. Increase in consumption of UV silicone release coatings
is expected to fuel the market. UV silicone release coatings based on
cationic cure and radical cure operate at lower temperatures on
temperature-sensitive films, unlike conventional silicone-based
release coatings. Silicone compounds embedded in the release coatings
can act both as release agents and as pressure sensitive adhesives.
They are widely utilized in the manufacturing industry for
interleaving applications, roofing (bitumen), insulation tapes,
self-adhesive stamps, and composites. Rising demand from
manufacturing industries is anticipated to boost the silicone-based
release coatings market. Furthermore, increase in per capita income
and rise in awareness about healthcare are boosting the
silicone-based release coatings market in developing economies.
Development and manufacture of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-based
release coatings is expected to provide lucrative opportunities to
the silicone-based release coatings market. However, high degree of
customization required for varied applications is likely to hamper
the silicone-based release coatings market.
In
terms of formulation, the silicone-based release coatings market can
be divided into solvent-based, water-based, and oil emulsion.
Solvent-based coatings provide good anchorage for applications such
as pressure sensitive label stock, industrial single-sided release
papers, and nonstick food-grade packaging. They are applicable for
films and hard-surfaced papers. Water-based release coatings are
employed in a broad range of applications in food and baking, tapes,
and industrial sectors. Oil emulsion-based release coatings possess
long bath life, good shear stability, and low foaming potential.
Thus, they are suitable for premium release performances and size
press operations.
Based
on application, the silicone-based release coatings market can be
segmented into labels, tapes, envelopes, and others. The labels
segment holds a significant share in the silicone-based release
coatings market due to their attributes such as low surface tension
and low surface energy. These release coatings enable easy
delamination or easy label transfer from the liners onto the object
to be labeled. Silicone-based release coatings possess the property
of reproducing releasing force, therefore, the tapes segment holds a
significant share in the silicone-based release coatings market.
Silicone-based release coating tapes have wide applications in the
manufacturing industry owing to their rheological characteristics and
diverse structures.
In
terms of end-use industry, the silicone-based release coatings market
can be segmented into food & bakery, hygiene, manufacturing,
medical, and others. Several properties of silicone-based release
coatings include wetting, foaming, cure speed, bath life, release,
coverage, wear resistance, and shear stability. These properties are
favorable for baking, food packaging, and other industrial
applications. Demand for silicone-based release coatings has been
rising, due to the approval of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) and Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). The food &
bakery segment accounts for a key share of the silicone-based release
coatings market.
Based
on geography, the silicone-based release coatings market can be
segregated into North America, Latin America, Asia Pacific, Europe,
and Middle East & Africa. The market in Asia Pacific is
anticipated to expand rapidly due to prompt expansion in consumption
of solvent-less silicone-based release coatings in countries such as
China, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. North America and Europe hold
significant share on account of growing awareness in terms of health
and environment.
