Abstract: Disclosed is a multi-layer composite body comprising a flexible auxiliary support and separating layer disposed on at least one side of the auxiliary support, which modifies the complete separation or the locally determined detachment of a functional layer which is in the superficial contact thereto. Said body is characterized in that the separating layer contains a continuous phase and a particle-like filling material in a concentration of approximately 0.01 to 50 wt. % with respect to the separating layer wherein the surface of the filling particles is completely covered by the continuous phase, the continuous phase contains reticulated polyorganosiloxane and the surface of the separation layer that lies opposite to the auxiliary support has a surface roughness of approximately 400 to 50,000 nm and a mean roughness value of approximately 40 to 5,000 nm.
