The present invention provides a solvent-free silicone release composition containing (A) an alkenyl group-containing organopolysiloxane having a vinyl value of 0.016-0.7 mol/100 g and a kinematic viscosity at 25 C. of 80-500 mm.sup.2/s, (B) an organo hydrogen polysiloxane having a kinematic viscosity of 2-500 mm.sup.2/s, (C) a platinum group metal-based catalyst, and (E) an organopolysiloxane having a crosslinked structure and fluidity. According to the present invention, surface roughness caused by high speed rotation of a roll or surface protrusions and recesses caused by the generation of mist can be eliminated during high-speed coating on a sheet-like substrate, and a release sheet can be obtained in which a cured silicone-coated surface has excellent smoothness and an adhesive-coated substrate has a low high-speed peel strength.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a composite sheet, which achieves all of water repellency, water resistance, transparency and mechanical strength. The present invention relates to a sheet having a fiber layer and a coating layer on the fiber layer, wherein the fiber layer comprises ultrafine cellulose fibers having a fiber width of 1000 nm or less in an amount of 60% by mass or more, the haze of the sheet is 20% or less, and the water contact angle of the surface of the sheet on the side of the coating layer which is measured 30 seconds after completion of the dropping of distilled water is 70 degrees or more.

In accordance with the present application, there is provided a release liner and method of preparing a liner for a label assembly. The release liner includes paper having a first side that does not have a machine finish or gloss finish or a coating; and a silicone treatment applied to the first side of the paper. The method of preparing a liner for a label assembly includes applying a coat of silicone to a paper at a side of the paper that does not have a machine finish or gloss finish and is otherwise uncoated; and curing the silicone. The release liner includes paper having a silicone coat weight of 0.5 lb/ream or less.

In accordance some aspects of the present application, there is provided a label assembly, a release liner and methods of preparing label assemblies and release liners. In one aspect, a label assembly includes a top layer having a front side and a back side and an adhesive applied at the back side of the top layer. The label assembly also includes a silicone-treated liner contacting the adhesive to sandwich the adhesive between the top layer and the liner. The silicone-treated liner comprises paper that does not have a machine finish or gloss finish on a side of the paper that contacts the adhesive to allow at least a portion of the silicone in the silicone treatment to penetrate the paper.

A method of manufacturing a security paper is presented. The method comprises: preparing a composition A containing a mixture of softwood and hardwood pulp, and preparing a mixture of a refined pulp and magnetic wires having predetermined magnetic properties; preparing a composition C by blending the mixture B and the composition A; diluting the composition C, and forming a pulp single layer D including the magnetic wires at a predetermined density; removing moisture from the pulp single layer D; forming at least one protective coating layer on at least one side of the paper; and calendering the paper, thereby obtaining a security paper structure with the magnetic wires fully embedded in the pulp single layer.

A baking substrate made of a sheet-type material has, on an upper side, an embossed structure provided with an anti-adhesive coating. An underside is made to be flat at least in some sections, and at least the flat sections have a non-slip coating in at least some parts.
