PET release film is a commonly used material for thermal transfer printing, and the industry is developing well.

PET release film, also known as PET silicone oil film, peeling film, and thermal transfer film, is a material whose base material is polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and is coated with silicone oil. PET release film has the characteristics of good chemical resistance, good thermoforming performance, and excellent surface decoration performance. It is a material commonly used in thermal transfer printing.

The main substrate of PET release film is polyethylene terephthalate (PET). PET has the advantages of high transparency, high impact strength, high/low temperature resistance, etc., and is widely used in plastic products. In recent years, benefiting from strong market demand and continuous upgrading of production technology, my country’s PET output has continued to grow and has become the world’s largest PET producer and consumer. In 2022, my country’s PET production will exceed 11 million tons, setting a record high. The sufficient supply of raw materials lays the foundation for the development of my country’s PET release film industry.

There are many types of PET release films. According to different release forces, PET release films can be divided into three types: heavy release release films, light release release films and medium release films; according to different surface treatments, they can be divided into silicone-free PET release films , double-sided release PET release film and single-sided release PET release film; according to different colors, it can be divided into blue release film, red release film, green release film and yellow release film, etc. In recent years, benefiting from the mature development of production technology, my country’s high-performance PET release film industry has ushered in broad development prospects.

According to the “2023-2028 China PET Release Film Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center , PET release film has a wide range of applications, including sealing materials, packaging decoration, thermal transfer printing, waterproof materials, reflective materials, die-cutting and punching processing, etc. Thermal transfer printing is the largest demand end of PET release film. As research continues to deepen, the application scope of thermal transfer printing technology continues to expand, including packaging, apparel, printing, etc. PET release film is a commonly used material for thermal transfer printing. Driven by downstream demand, the market size continues to expand.

The main manufacturers of PET release films in my country include Zhejiang Jiemei Electronic Technology Co., Ltd., Anhui Guofeng New Materials Co., Ltd., Dongguan Runmao New Materials Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Jinghua New Materials Technology Co., Ltd., and Jiangsu Shuangxing Color Plastic New Materials Co., Ltd. Company, Jixiangbao (Taicang) Release Material Technology Development Co., Ltd., etc. my country’s PET release film market is highly competitive, with many manufacturing companies, and product quality has competitive advantages and voice in the global market.

Industry analysts said that PET release films are widely used in sealing materials, packaging decoration, thermal transfer printing, waterproof materials and many other fields. , driven by market demand, the development trend of the industry continues to improve. PET is the main substrate for PET release films, and the output of raw materials is sufficient, providing favorable conditions for the development of the PET release film industry. In the future, as technology continues to upgrade, companies with high-performance PET release film production capabilities will occupy a larger market space.
