What are the material types of TTO high-speed coding carbon belt?

TTO (Thermal Transfer Overprint) Carbon tape is mainly used for coding flexible packaging materials and labels at high speed in the thermal transfer printing process. Its variety of materials to meet different printing needs and environmental conditions. The following are some common types of TTO high-speed coding carbon tape materials:

1. Wax based carbon strip

Main materials: wax and carbon black as the main components.

Features: Cost economy, excellent printing effect, suitable for general paper and label printing. However, due to its relatively weak surface adhesion and wear resistance, it may not be suitable for applications requiring high durability or resistance to chemical solvents.

Application: Widely used in ordinary label, bar code printing, especially suitable for high-speed printing environment.

2. Resin carbon strip

Main material: resin as the main component.

Features: High melting point, scratch resistance, chemical solvent resistance and high temperature. Printing results are clear and durable, especially for printing tasks that require high durability and chemical resistance. However, the cost is relatively high.

Application: Suitable for special PET, chemical product packaging, electrical heating parts and other need high temperature resistance, solvent resistance occasions.

3. Half tree and half wax carbon strip

Main material: A combination of wax and resin.

Features: By adjusting the ratio of wax and resin, different printing needs can be met. It has both the economy of wax-based carbon strip and the durability and chemical resistance of resin carbon strip. Suitable for smooth surface materials, such as PET.

Application: It is widely used in occasions where the printing effect has certain requirements but the cost is controlled, such as the identification of ordinary consumables.

4. Mix the base carbon belt

Features: This type of carbon strip usually contains a higher proportion of resin components, while combining other materials to improve printing performance. Such as the Z260 carbon strip, with superior edge pressure performance and scratch resistance, especially suitable for flexible packaging materials and high-speed printing environments.

Application: Suitable for high-speed printing of a variety of flexible packaging materials, to meet the special requirements for scratch-resistant, high-speed printing occasions.

5. Special material carbon belt

In addition to the above common materials, there are some special materials of TTO high-speed coding carbon belts, such as carbon belts with excellent washing resistance, color carbon belts, etc., to meet the needs of specific industries and application scenarios.

Sum up

The materials of TTO high speed coding carbon strip are various, including wax based carbon strip, resin carbon strip, half tree and half wax carbon strip and mixed base carbon strip. Different materials of carbon belt have different characteristics and application range, users should be based on the specific printing needs and environmental conditions when choosing a comprehensive consideration. At the same time, with the continuous progress of technology and the constant change of market demand, new carbon belt materials are also emerging.
