A process for applying a release coating material and a pressure sensitive adhesive coating material to a substrate, said substrate being the liner sheet of a release liner for a label, decal or tape, said liner sheet being comprised of paper, polymer film or a combination thereof, said process comprising:
- (A) atomizing and electrically charging said release coating material;
- (B) spraying the atomized and electrically charged release coating material from step (A) on to said substrate which overlies a grounded support structure;
- (C) curing said release coating material;
- (D) atomizing and electrically charging said pressure sensitive adhesive coating material;
- (E) spraying the pressure sensitive adhesive coating material from step (D) on to the cured release coating material from step (C);
- and
- (F) placing another substrate over the sprayed pressure sensitive adhesive coating material from step (E).
