handling, processing, inertness,
etc. to optimally satisfy all end-use
market requirements. The level of
performance provided by the release
liner for each criterion was carefully
evaluated and ranked on a scale from
1 to 3 (3 being the highest level of
performance). This work resulted in
the creation of “intelligent” release
solutions; an innovative range of
release liners designed for end-use
markets featuring an optimum performance level and reliability.

Tailor-made solutions

technical description of their products, Gascogne Laminates proposes
dedicated product ranges by end-use
markets, focusing on satisfying specific requirements for the aerospace,
wind energy, sports & leisure and
automotive industries.
The use of release liners varies from
one market to another. Therefore,
the company’s experts have identified specific criteria and levels of
performance in terms of release liners

A long-established expertise in
silicone coating associated with the
versatility of a new machine enables
Gascogne Laminates to provide the
ultimate product customization on
the market through:
- adjusted release values and differential according to the resin tack level,
- desired level of substrate smoothness,
- adaptation to the customer’s process
set-up (reverse or direct resin coating), together with the desired slip
and coefficient of friction,
- adjusted stability of the release liner
depending on the relative humidity
of the customer’s storage and usage
conditions,
- customised design options: substrate colours (white, brown, natural

kraft…), logo printing, coating side
spotting or desired level of brightness.

New state-of-the-art
equipment
Gascogne Laminates invested more
than €10 million in a new state-ofthe-art silicone coating machine that
started industrial output at the beginning of 2013.
Many competitive advantages come
with this new equipment. The automated preparation of the silicone
formulation associated with in-line
statistical process control (SPC)
for the silicone coating weight and
humidity rate ensure the ultimate
release consistency and reliability
on the market to fulfil the highest
quality standards of the most demanding industries. This new equipment
can coat both sides of the substrate at
high speed in one run. The possibility
to combine silicone coating technologies or to apply them independently
brings a great level of versatility to
supply tailor-made solutions.

Prepreg Excellence Days
In partnership with JEC Group,
Gascogne Laminates is organizing
the world’s first executive meeting on
high-performance prepreg composites. This 360° cross-industries meeting will be a unique place to share
and exchange views on the prepreg
industry concerns and technological
advances. Key players all along the
value chain will give their viewpoints
on the key evolutions of prepregs in
the aerospace, wind energy, sports
and leisure and automotive markets.
The Prepreg Excellence Days will
take place on 5-6 December 2013 in
Bordeaux, France, one of the world’s
major wine capitals. n
