1907 Release Film Clear Double Sided 1300mm x 25m roll

Clear polyester film, coated on both sides with non-stick silicone. Stops paper sticking to adhesive when it’s not intended. Also stops the adhesive sticking to the platen of a press.

In any dry mounting task, it often happens that there is exposed adhesive around an item being mounted. Laying Silicone Release Film or Release Paper face down over it will prevent any surplus adhesive sticking to the heated platen. Paper accidentally stuck to exposed adhesive can be tedious to resolve.

Release film is transparent which makes it easier to position when working. It can be used either way up which is very handy in dry-mounting and over-laminating tasks.

On dark and black posters and similar, silicone may leave smears when fresh. Minimise that by popping new film into the press between two sheets of scrap board to soak up surplus silicone.

Film is less inclined to crease than normal silicone release papers so can last longer.

Store carefully - its natural static attracts dust which can result in ‘pitting’ on the surface of the item being mounted.
