DEFINITION: COLD SEAL RELEASE & RECEPTIVE

Cold seal adhesives are primarily used to seal heat sensitive items like chocolate bars. The adhesive is
normally applied wet to the substrate by a revolving gravure cylinder, immediately dried in an extended oven
before it is reeled up at the end of the press.

The inner surface of the innermost layer of the inner web or film, in the preferred quality, is a cold seal
receptive surface.

STRUCTURE & CTQ OF COLD SEAL RELEASE FILMS

Top Side – Printable layer

(Transparent)

Critical to Quality parameters

• Cold Seal Release Test = < 100 gf / Without adhesive transfer on release side
• Coeff of friction (Matt/Matt) = 0.10 - 0.25 final
• Haze = 50 - 54
• Gloss (Both Sides) = 20 – 28
• Other Requirement = Uniform Dispersion and SS/SH/FE count should be 51 / 17 / 17 (Big size
not allowed)

COMPARISON BETWEEN NORMAL & COLD SEAL FILMS

Properties Normal film Cold Seal release film

Cold seal release test 200 gf/25mm < 100 gf/25mm

Testing Method Cold seal receptive film

(Non metal)

Apply Adhesive thru draw down

Curing at certain temp. 120° C

for 1 mins.

Cold seal release film

(Untreated)

Apply hydraulic press (150kgs)

to join receptive and release
layer for 24 hours

Check release property through

bond strength
< 100 gf
