    Characteristics
    A coated paper or polyester product. It has a very slick surface and is very hard. Not much will stick to it, thus in packing it may be used when contact with “tacky” materials cannot be avoided.

    Applications
    Though this product will not stick to most materials it also is fairly rigid so it cannot conform to complex shapes.
    Almost by definition materials that are tacky are soft. While this release material may not stick to the surface of an object, it may alter the appearance of its surface by making it flatter and "shiny" in texture.
