Abstract
The present invention is directed to a flushable release liner. The flushable release liner is formed by applying a release coating onto at least one surface of a water-sensitive film. The flushable release liner maintains its integrity and strength when in use, but disperses when placed in contact with water, such as in a conventional sink or toilet. Moreover, the present invention is directed to water-dispersible products, including flushable products, which contain the flushable release liner.
