key features
Low-Temperature Fast Curing - Syl-Off 4000 maintains excellent curing performance even at low temperatures. Its cure rate at 80-100°C is over 30% faster than traditional organotin systems. Experimental results show that thin-film coatings can fully cure in just 2-3 minutes in a low-temperature oven, significantly shortening production cycles and improving productivity.
Excellent Release - The cured coating exhibits high-quality release properties, with a static coefficient of friction less than 0.3, ensuring stable release force for products such as labels and tapes during use. Even after long-term storage, the peel force fluctuation is less than ±10%, demonstrating stable and controllable release performance.
Adjustable Cure Speed - Syl-Off 4000 supports control of cure speed and release force by adjusting the catalyst ratio. Field tests have shown that within a 0.5%-1.5% addition range, the coating cure time can be flexibly adjusted between 2 and 8 minutes, providing optimal process adaptability for different production lines.
Abrasion and Migration Resistance - The cured coating exhibits excellent abrasion and migration resistance. After 500 friction cycles, surface release retention exceeded 95%. Furthermore, no significant migration was detected after 30 days of contact with solvent-based acrylic adhesive, ensuring the stability of downstream products.
High Solids, Low Volatility - This product is a 100% solids system, processed without solvents, resulting in near-zero VOC emissions. Test data shows that organic volatiles (VOCs) emitted during high-temperature curing are less than 50 ppm, meeting multiple environmental regulations and effectively reducing environmental pollution and operator hazards.
Compatible with High-Release Systems - Syl-Off 4000 can be used with high-release modifiers to achieve flexible peel force adjustments ranging from 10 g/in to 200 g/in. This feature enables it to meet the production needs of a wide range of products, from light-peel labels to high-viscosity tapes, providing strong process versatility and market adaptability.
Electronics and Electrical Industry - In the production of electronic component protective films and functional films, Syl-Off 4000 ensures controlled peel force and long-term stability. Data shows that after aging for 1000 hours at 85°C and 85% RH, the peel force of electronic protective films using this system remains above 90% of its initial value, ensuring reliable packaging and removal of electrical components.
Automotive Industry - In the manufacture of automotive interior labels, tapes, and protective films, the heat and weather resistance provided by Syl-Off 4000 ensures stable peel force even under high temperatures and UV exposure. Test results show that after 500 hours of exposure to 120°C, release performance shows little degradation, meeting the rigorous operating conditions of the automotive industry.
Graphic Printing and Labeling - In the production of labels and self-adhesive stickers, Syl-Off 4000 provides stable release control, supporting high-speed printing and die-cutting processes. Printing plant application data shows that this system supports high-speed production exceeding 300 m/min while maintaining stable peel force, reducing die-cutting breakage rates and improving production efficiency.
Paper Industry - In the production of release paper, Syl-Off 4000 can be used for food-grade and industrial packaging, ensuring safety and reliability. SGS food contact testing has confirmed that no harmful substances are detected in the coating, complying with food packaging regulations and ensuring safety for direct food contact.
Medical and Healthcare - The production of medical patches and disposable consumables places extremely high demands on material safety. Biocompatibility testing has shown that Syl-Off 4000 is non-irritating to the skin and exhibits stable peel force, making it suitable for products such as transdermal patches and surgical tapes, meeting the dual safety and performance requirements of the medical industry.
Home Appliance Industry - In the production of protective and decorative films for home appliances, Syl-Off 4000 provides long-term weather and temperature resistance, ensuring excellent peelability during transportation, storage, and installation. Long-term application data shows that the home appliance protective film can still maintain stable peeling force and avoid adhesion residue after being stored in a warehouse environment for 12 months.
