What are the characteristics of PET silver paper with different surface treatments?

PET silver paper, as an advanced label material, has a variety of excellent properties, which are largely affected by its surface treatment. Different surface treatments can give PET silver paper different properties and appearance. The following are some common PET silver paper surface treatment methods and their characteristics:

1. Matte silver coating

Features:

Matte effect: Matte silver coating treatment makes the surface of PET silver paper show matte effect, reduce reflection, improve the readability and beauty of the label.

Wear resistance and scratch resistance: The matte silver coating enhances the wear resistance and scratch resistance of PET silver paper, so that it can maintain a good appearance in a variety of environments.

Waterproof and oil-proof: Matte silver PET self-adhesive label paper has waterproof and oil-proof characteristics, suitable for occasions that need to resist liquid pollution.

Temperature resistance: The PET material itself has good temperature resistance, and the PET sub-silver paper treated with matte silver coating can remain stable in a wide temperature range.

Chemical stability: can resist acid, alkali and other chemical substances corrosion, suitable for use in harsh environments.

2. Matting treatment

Matting treatment and matte silver coating treatment are similar in some aspects, both through a specific process to achieve matte effect on the surface of PET silver paper. But extinction treatment may be more focused on changing the microstructure of the material surface by physical or chemical methods to achieve the extinction effect.

Features:

Matte or matte appearance: After matting, the surface gloss of PET silver paper is reduced, showing a matte or matte state.

Uniform color: Specific matting agents (such as high temperature alumina) may be added during the matting process to make the coating film uniform and single color.

Good printing effect: the surface of PET silver paper after matting treatment is easier to ink adhesion, improving the printing effect.

3. Other surface treatment methods

In addition to matte silver coating and matting treatment, PET silver paper may also use other surface treatment methods, such as corona treatment, coating with affinity ink, etc. These treatments have their own characteristics, but in general, they are designed to improve the surface properties of PET silver paper, such as increasing surface tension and improving ink adhesion.

Sum up

PET silver paper with different surface treatment methods has different characteristics and application scenarios. Matte silver coating treatment and matting treatment are two of the more common ways, which can give PET silver paper matte effect, improve wear resistance and scratch resistance, waterproof and oil resistance. When selecting PET silver paper, the appropriate surface treatment method should be selected according to the specific application needs and environmental conditions.
