Escoat P-20 Solids provides good release properties and prevents delamination or tearing when
applied to the backing on the side opposite the adhesive. It has been extensively tested and is
widely approved for use with pressure sensitive tapes such as polypropylene, polyester,
polyethylene, cellophane, duct tapes and other substrates that require unwinding ease. Escoat P20 Solids may also be used for foil and paper. When Escoat P-20 Solids is used as a release coat
on paper, a barrier coat is recommended. Escoat P-20 Solids is particularly useful to give light
release on so-called “easy peel” acrylics.
Good release properties can be obtained using as little as a 0.5 – 2.0% solids material in toluene
and a very fine gravure roller. A smoothing bar after application is recommended. It is essential to
keep the gravure roller clean at these low levels of application to ensure consistent application.
Laboratory evaluations can be made with Meyer rods or other simple application methods where a
consistent near monomolecular layer of Escoat P-20 can be put down.

short description:
Escoat P-20 Solids is a non-silicone product especially produced and widely used for pressure
sensitive labels, film and tapes. Its high degree of purity, quality and tight melting point range offers
superior properties and performance to critical users. Escoat P-20 Solids is used on films with
adhesives based on natural rubber, SBR, SIS, acrylic, etc. primarily for obtaining release in self
wound tapes where tight peel is mandatory. Escoat® P-20 Solids is expected to give a peel strength
2-3 times the level expected from most silicone release agents. In addition, the non-stick properties
of the Escoat P-20 Solids resin find use in a wide range of applications outside the pressure
sensitive area.
