Specify Release-Film Heat Requirements Around Your Actual Membrane Process
Do not buy a release film on an unsupported temperature label. Tell the supplier where the film enters the process, which face contacts the membrane and what exposure your trial must represent. Then assess the quoted grade against that defined duty.
Describe where the film is used
A self-adhesive membrane liner protects the adhesive and is removed during installation. A thin surface film on another membrane construction has a different purpose. Start by identifying the layer function; the phrase “film for bitumen” is not a complete technical requirement.
For a release-film inquiry, state whether you are evaluating PE or PET, the current film specification and the membrane construction. Merily offers both release-film families, but the substrate name alone does not establish a temperature rating for the complete coated product.
Record the exposure, not just one machine number
Your team should identify the conditions that are relevant to the film in the actual process. Record the location of the stated temperature, how the film is exposed, the relevant time or line condition, and the material it contacts. A process setpoint and a measured material condition are not the same item of information.
If you cannot yet define a requirement, send the known process information and describe the issue being investigated. Ask for a trial suitable for evaluation, rather than converting a general material description into an unverified operating limit. This article supplies no blanket continuous or short-term temperature rating for Merily release films.
Information for a process-specific inquiry

| Field | Useful detail |
|---|---|
| Layer function | Removable liner, not an assumed outer facing |
| Material identity | Substrate, coating reference and gauge |
| Exposure description | Where, how and for how long, as known |
| Temperature basis | Identify setpoint or measurement location |
| Evaluation | Agreed observations and test conditions |
| Supply roll | Width, core, winding and handling limits |
Keep acceptance checks tied to the intended job
Before a trial, decide which observations matter to your production team. These may include visible film condition, handling through the line and release behaviour assessed under the agreed method. Document the observations separately; a film that looks intact still needs evaluation of the function for which you are purchasing it.
Use the same material identity and process record when repeating a comparison. If a trial changes the adhesive, coating construction or gauge, record that change. Otherwise a difference may be wrongly attributed to temperature alone.
Write the order so the evaluated grade stays identifiable
Once a candidate is approved, connect the trial reference to the supply specification. Include the substrate, gauge, width, coated face, core and winding. Common PE release-film gauges in our range are 35 / 40 μm, while common PET formats include 25 / 30 / 36 μm. These are size options, not temperature ratings.
If production conditions change, review whether the approval still covers the revised use. Send us the current specification and actual process duty so the discussion concerns the material your factory needs. Packaging and shipment planning should be confirmed separately from the technical trial.
Questions for This Purchase
Can I use a general PET temperature value as the rating for a release film?
No. Confirm the actual coated film grade and the conditions relevant to its intended use.
Does film thickness alone establish process suitability?
No. Include the material structure, coating, layer function and evaluation conditions.
Do I need a production-roll trial after a sheet sample?
Confirm the trial needed for your approval process. A small sheet does not demonstrate every handling feature of a full supply roll.
