What are the essential differences between all resin carbon belts and other types of carbon belts?

The essential difference between all resin carbon strips and other types of carbon strips (such as wax based carbon strips, mixed based carbon strips, etc.) is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. Composition and structure

Resin carbon belt: mainly made of resin material, resin content up to more than 50%, with high strength, high wear resistance, high chemical corrosion resistance and other characteristics. Its compact structure can provide good printing results and durability.

Wax-based carbon strip: with wax and carbon black as the main components, the resin content is low. Its cost is low, suitable for general paper printing, but scratch resistance and chemical corrosion resistance is poor.

Mixed base carbon strip: It is a mixture of wax base and resin base, and the resin content is in between. Combined with the economy of wax based carbon strip and some excellent properties of resin based carbon strip, it is suitable for smooth surface materials.

2. Scratch resistance and durability

All-resin carbon tape: Due to the high resin content, its scratch resistance and durability are significantly better than other types of carbon tape. In harsh environments, such as high temperature, high humidity or chemical corrosion conditions, it can still maintain good printing results and service life.

Wax-based carbon tape: poor scratch resistance, easy to lead to blur or fall off the print content during friction or scratching.

Mixed base carbon strip: Scratch resistance is between wax base and resin base, suitable for application scenarios that have certain requirements for scratch resistance but are not particularly harsh.

3. Printing effect and scope of application

Full resin carbon belt: printing effect is clear, bright and wear-resistant, suitable for PET, PVC, synthetic paper and other high quality, high durability label materials. At the same time, its high sensitivity ensures excellent image results under various printing conditions.

Wax-based carbon tape: printing effect is good but relatively common, suitable for coated paper, kraft paper and other general paper printing. Its extensive labeling adaptability makes wax-based carbon strips widely used in low-cost printing scenarios.

Mixed base carbon strip: The printing effect is between wax base and resin base, which can meet most moderately demanding printing scenarios. Its application fields are wide, including logistics management, clothing tags, medical use and many other fields.

4. Price and cost

Full resin carbon strip: Due to high resin content, complex production process and excellent performance, the price is relatively high. However, in scenarios where high-quality, durable printing results are required, the high cost of all-resin carbon strips can often be reasonably repaid.

Wax-based carbon tape: Low cost is one of the most significant differences between all-resin carbon tape and wax-based carbon tape. This gives wax-based carbon strips an irreplaceable advantage in low-cost printing scenarios.

Mixed base carbon strip: the price is between wax base and resin base, which has relatively economic cost and some excellent performance characteristics, so it has been widely used in many application scenarios.

In summary, the essential difference between all-resin carbon belts and other types of carbon belts lies in their composition and structure, scratch resistance and durability, printing effect and scope of application, as well as price and cost. When selecting the carbon belt, it should be comprehensively considered according to the specific application needs and budget.
