Zusammenfassung:A release liner is produced by providing a web of film 11; subjecting at least a first surface of the film web to a first plasma discharge treatment 14 in the presence of a gas (introduced at 13) which effectively functionalises the first surface of the film web to provide thereon functional groups which are capable of actively binding to a release compound and/or a precursor thereof; and subsequently depositing a coating of a release compound (introduced at16) onto the functionalised (with ketone, aldehyde, glyoxyl, amide, amine, hydroxide, nitride or vinyl groups) first surface of the film web by contacting the release compound and/or a precursor thereof with the functionalised first surface during a second plasma discharge treatment 17. The exemplified film 11 comprises a coextruded bubble film having a polypropylene core ethylene propylene copolymer skins. It is subjected to dielectric barrier discharge plasma treatments with ammonia in nitrogen and then with hexamethyl disiloxane in nitrogen, to produce a 50nm thick polydimethylsiloxane release coating. The release liners can be used with pressure sensitive adhesive labels and packaging films.
