Paul Liddy from global marketing communications of Dow Corning said, “Indian packaging and label industry is growing continuously and the growth will be continuous because of the increasing demand of consumer goods. Thus India is big market with a lot of opportunities and we are ready to grab these.”

Liddy also believes that label release paper coating technology continues its shift away from tin based curing systems to platinum based systems. Dow Corning, aligned to this global technology trend, continues to focus on Platinum based Solvent / solvent less systems for Label release papers.

Latest technologies also impact the machine speeds of coating. Dow Corning solutions are designed for higher speed machines and thus address the current and upcoming needs of the market. In India the future of labels is positive and PET labels are also coming up in the end-customer segments.
