Release coating composition and method of making a release coated backing

摘要

The present invention provides a method of making a release coated backing having a fibrous layer of woven fibers or of non-woven fibers of thermoplastic polymer, comprising the steps of coating a curable silicone release coating composition on the fibrous layer of the backing and curing the thus applied silicone release coating by exposing it to actinic radiation or heat, said curable silicone release coating composition comprising (i) a polydialkylsiloxane having acrylate and/or methacrylate groups and the ratio of the average number of dialkylsiloxane units to the average number of acrylate and methacrylate groups being between 10 and 15, and (ii) an organic compound free of silicon and comprising at least two reactive groups selected from the group consisting of an acrylate and a methacrylate group, said organic compound free of silicon having a viscosity of at least 500 mPa.s at 25 DEG C, and the weight ratio of said polydialkylsiloxane to said organic compound being between 8:92 and 35:65.
