BRANOperl release paper – High-performance release paper for industrial decals

Material properties of BRANOperl release paper

Construction and silicone coating

BRANOperl is a high-grade specialty paper finished with a precisely defined silicone layer. This coating enables controlled reduction of adhesion between carrier and decal film. Depending on process needs, silicone coating can be applied on one or both sides to match various production lines. Consistent layer thickness ensures stable release forces—essential for reproducible processes.

Surface texture and uniformity

BRANOperl features a highly smooth and consistent surface topography. This homogeneous structure helps prevent unintended air entrapment and ensures uniform release performance across the entire sheet. Carefully calibrated surface parameters maintain quality even at high production speeds.

Temperature and chemical resistance

BRANOperl is engineered to retain its properties at elevated temperatures and in contact with process chemicals. The paper remains dimensionally stable, resists shrinkage, and provides a dependable release layer in thermal or chemical production environments.

Function in the decal process

Release behavior and adhesion control

In decal manufacturing, BRANOperl acts as both carrier and release medium between carrier film and decorative layer. Its defined silicone finish enables controlled peel behavior, allowing decals to transfer cleanly and without residue. A balanced level of adhesion between silicone and print substrate prevents unintended peeling or sticking.

Impact on transfer quality and production reliability

Precise release is critical to decorative quality. BRANOperl supports stable transfer of fine lines and delicate layer structures. With consistent surface properties, process reliability is maintained over extended production runs.

Industrial use cases and applications

Use in decal manufacturing

BRANOperl is primarily used in producing decals for ceramic, plastic, and metal surfaces. It serves as the release carrier on which decorations are applied, dried, and later transferred to the target substrate.

Additional potential applications

Beyond decals, BRANOperl can be used wherever a defined release between layers is required—for example in coating or laminating processes.

Advantages of BRANOperl in production

Process reliability and consistency

The consistent quality and surface stability of BRANOperl deliver stable release values, reducing scrap and increasing productivity.

Material efficiency and cost-effectiveness

Thanks to its strong release performance, the paper can be integrated efficiently into process steps and supports resource-conscious production.

Conclusion – Technical reliability and quality

BRANOperl release paper stands for technological precision, consistent quality, and high process reliability in industrial decal manufacturing. Its controlled release properties, resistance, and repeatability make it an essential component in modern decoration and transfer processes.
