THE USE

Favini Release is a cellulose base paper, surface treated with a coating or plastic film that gives the release feature. In addition to this coating or plastic film, the paper can be embossed through an industrial process that modifies the finishing and fix the selected pattern.

The Eco-leather is produced by our Customers by coating the release paper reel with layers of melted PVC or Polyurethane on a coating line machine. Afterwards, the casting resins are dried in high temperature ovens. Before the release and the consequent separation of the eco-leather from the paper a backing fabric is applied. After separation from the eco-leather the paper is carefully rewound, as it will be used several times before losing its release properties.
This particular industrial process using the Release paper as a carrier and to fix leatherlike effects to the finished products is called transfer coating.

The name "Release paper" actually comes from this peculiarity of the coating process where the casting PVC or PU resins are separated from the paper thanks to its release properties.
At the end of the industrial process it will be noticed that the pattern embossed negatively on the paper is being fixed positively on the eco-leather.
This is the reason why the Favini Release paper is so important to determine the main features of the finished products made by our Customers.
