Mylar® A601 is a silicone coated polyester film designed for use as a release film for printing applications. The silicone release coating is applied to the film during the film production process, providing excellent adhesion of the silicone release coating to the polyester film for improved release coating durability and performance.

|
Mylar® A601 has balanced dimensional stability. Release values are approximately 35 g/25mm when tested with aggressive pressure-sensitive adhesives. It is recommended that the film be tested in each application to verify the absolute value of the release strength.
