Release Paper in Sanitary Napkins

What is Release Paper?

Release paper is a paper whose surface has been specially treated to have non-stick, moisture-resistant, and oil-resistant properties. Its main function is to prevent products from sticking together during the production process or to protect the surface of products during use.

Main Components

Release paper is usually made from the following materials:

• Base Paper: Typically made from natural wood pulp or other fibrous materials, it has good flexibility and strength.

• Release Agent: A chemical substance coated on the surface of the base paper to give the paper its non-stick properties. Common release agents include silicone oil and fluorinated compounds.

Manufacturing Process

1. Base Paper Preparation: Select suitable wood pulp or other fibrous materials and make the base paper through the papermaking process.

2. Coating with Release Agent: The release agent is evenly applied to the surface of the base paper, usually using a coater.

3. Drying: The paper needs to be dried after coating to ensure that the release agent is firmly attached to the paper surface.

4. Post-processing: Depending on the need, the paper can be cut, rolled, and otherwise processed.

Application Fields

Release paper is widely used in many fields.

•  Food Packaging: Used to package candies, chocolates, and other foods to prevent them from sticking together.

•  Tape Manufacturing: Used to protect the adhesive part of the tape to prevent it from sticking together before use.

•  Label Production: Used as the backing paper for self-adhesive labels to facilitate label application and use.

•  Hygiene Products: Such as sanitary pads and diapers, used to protect the adhesive part to prevent sticking and contamination.

•  Electronics Industry: Used to protect electronic components from contamination or damage during production, transportation, and storage.

Why is release paper used in sanitary pads?

Release paper is one of raw materials for sanitary napkins. Sanitary pads require release paper for several important reasons:

Protecting adhesive stickiness

The adhesive on sanitary pads is used to secure them to underwear. The release paper covers the adhesive to prevent it from being contaminated or losing its stickiness before use. This ensures that the sanitary pad can be firmly attached to underwear when it is used.

Preventing sticking together 

Release paper has non-stick properties. During the production, packaging, transportation, and storage of sanitary pads, the pads may come into contact with each other or with the packaging film. The release paper prevents them from sticking together, making it easy for users to remove the sanitary pad from the packaging when they need to use it.

Isolation and protection

The release paper acts as a barrier. It prevents other parts of the sanitary pad from sticking to the adhesive part. It also stops the sanitary pad from adhering unnecessarily to the packaging material during the packaging process, maintaining the integrity and independence of each sanitary pad.

Moisture and oil resistance 

Release paper is moisture and oil-resistant. It can prevent external moisture and oily substances from contaminating the sanitary pad, keeping it clean and dry. This ensures that the sanitary pad remains in good sanitary condition before use.

Can the release paper in sanitary pads prevent allergies?

The release paper in sanitary pads itself does not have the function of preventing allergies, but its material and characteristics can reduce the risk of allergies to some extent.

Material characteristics of release paper  

• Natural materials  

Release paper is usually made from natural materials such as wood pulp, which are generally safe and do not usually cause allergic reactions.  

• Non-stick properties  

The main function of release paper is to prevent the adhesive part of the sanitary pad from sticking together or getting contaminated. Its surface is specially treated to be non-stick. This non-stick property means that the release paper does not come into direct contact with the skin during use, thereby reducing the possibility of skin allergies.

True sources of allergic reactions  

• Other ingredients  

Allergic reactions to sanitary pads are usually caused by other ingredients, such as fragrances or medicinal components. These ingredients can irritate the skin and cause allergic reactions.  

• Individual differences  

Everyone's skin sensitivity is different. Even with the same ingredients in sanitary pads, some people may have allergic reactions.

Suggestions for choosing sanitary pads

• Choose additive-free products 

Try to choose fragrance-free and medicine-free sanitary pads to reduce the risk of allergies.  

• Pay attention to materials 

Choose sanitary pads made from natural materials, such as those with a cotton surface layer.  

• Test sensitivity 

When using a new brand or type of sanitary pad, you can first test it on a small area of skin to see if there is an allergic reaction.
