What is the performance of wax-based carbon strip under different environmental conditions?

The performance of wax-based carbon strips under different environmental conditions is affected by many factors, mainly including temperature, humidity and direct exposure to sunlight and humid environments. The following is a detailed analysis of the performance of the wax based carbon strip under different environmental conditions:

First, temperature conditions

1.Use environment:

Suitable temperature: The wax based carbon strip is used at an ambient temperature of 5℃-35℃, which can maintain good printing effect and stability.

High temperature environment: Although wax-based carbon strips may not perform as well in high temperature environments as high-temperature resistant carbon strips, their performance is usually not significantly affected within normal use. However, if the temperature is too high, it may affect the melting effect of the carbon strip, thus affecting the print quality.

Low temperature environment: At low temperatures, the melting rate of the wax-based carbon strip may slow down, requiring the printer to adjust the printing temperature or speed to accommodate this change.

2.Transportation environment:

Wax-based carbon strips are transported in the temperature range of -5 ° C to 45 ° C for no more than a month and usually do not have a significant impact on their performance.

3.Storage environment:

The storage temperature should be between -5 ° C and 40 ° C, and the relative humidity should be between 20% and 85%, and the storage time should not exceed one year. This ensures that the wax-based carbon strip will maintain good performance after a long time of storage.

Second, humidity conditions

Whether in use, transport or storage, the wax-based carbon strip needs to be in the appropriate humidity range (generally 45%-85% relative humidity) to ensure that its performance is not affected. Too high or too low humidity may cause the carbon strip to absorb moisture or dry, which will affect its printing effect and service life.

Third, direct exposure to sunlight and humidity

Direct sunlight: Exposing the wax-based carbon strip to direct sunlight, prolonged high temperature and ultraviolet radiation may accelerate the aging process of the carbon strip, reducing its performance and service life.

Wet environment: Wet environment may cause the wax based carbon strip to absorb moisture, affecting its melting effect and adhesion, thereby reducing the print quality.

Fourth, other performance characteristics

Wide label adaptability: Wax-based carbon strips typically have wide label adaptability and are able to print clear, long-lasting images and text on a variety of materials.

Cost economy: Compared to other types of carbon strips, the cost of wax-based carbon strips is generally lower and suitable for large-scale applications.

Printing effect: Although the printing effect of wax-based carbon strips may not be as good as some high-performance carbon strips (such as resin-based or mixed-based carbon strips), it is enough to meet the needs in general applications.

In summary, the performance of wax-based carbon bands under different environmental conditions is affected by many factors such as temperature, humidity, and direct exposure to sunlight and humid environments. In order to ensure the best performance and service life of wax-based carbon strips, it is recommended to strictly comply with the relevant environmental conditions during use, transportation and storage.
