SilForce SLP Series
Momentive's SilForce SLP series is a game-changing, patent-pending thermal solventless release coating enabling more sustainable production of liners for the tapes and labels industry. It consists of the typicalbase polymer, crosslinker, and catalyst; all based on thermal Pt-cure chemistry.
Sustainability is enabled by Ultra-Low Pt catalyzed coatings.
With our new SLP polymer technology, we have been able to show comparable cure, process, and releaseperformance at Pt levels in the 10-20 ppm range, with no degradation in anchorage on commerciallyavailable paper substrates.
Sustainability is enabled by Low Temperature Cure (LTC).
This new technology has proven to cure at a temperature around or even below 100° C on papersubstrates, at standard platinum catalyst levels (not Low Pt).
Ultra-Low Platinum
Key Features and Benefits
- Ultra-Low Platinum levels in the range of 10-20 ppm provide future cost saving.
- Comparable formulation means similar release performance against PSA’s.
- Robust process running on existing equipment.
- Fast curing technology at ultra-low levels of catalyst on paper liners.
- Improved anchorage and similar release force.
- A reduced platinum system makes the label producer independent of the price volatility of this precious metal.

Sustainable solution
Ultra-Low Platinum levels Sustainable solution
The new SLP series enables cure with less Pt resulting in 35-50% savings in catalyst on paper liners like Glassine. The products contribute substantially to a more sustainable world by consuming less of this precious metal.
More sustainable process:
- Less mining
- Less energy & water for extraction
- Less carbon dioxide emission
Extraction of 1 kg of pure platinum metal emits 40 Tons of CO2 similar to the emission of 10 cars/year.

CO2 Emission for 100 million m2 *
- CO2 reduction coming from the catalyst dropped.
- Not considering the emissions related to the processing.
Low Temperature Cure (LTC) Coating
Key Features and Benefits
- Get cure at exit web temperature around 100° C.
- Comparable formulation means similar release performance against PSA’s.
- Robust process running on existing equipment.
- Combined fast cure and anchorage technology enable 30° C to 50° C lower temperature curing at typical Pt levels.

Sustainable solution
Low temperature curing solution
The new SLP series at typical Pt levels of 50-80 ppm enable cure at temperatures 30° C to 50° C less than normal on paper liners like Glassine.
Sustainability via less fossil fuel consumption and lower carbon dioxide emissions.
Ultra-Low Platinum levels Sustainable solution
- Less heat
- Less gas / electricity
- Less water and waste water
- Less remoisturization
- Less cooling
Machine trials with SLP series at low temperature on Glassine papers at 80 ppm
- Release liners generated on industrial coater at 1.0 gsm on regular Glassine paper.
- Test data. Actual results may vary.
