What are the definitions and characteristics of BOPP thermal synthetic paper?

The definition and characteristics of BOPP thermal synthetic paper can be summarized as follows:

Definition

BOPP thermal synthetic paper is a special type of thermal sensitive paper that combines bidirectional stretching polypropylene (BOPP) film as the substrate and thermal sensing technology. It takes advantage of the excellent physical properties of BOPP films and the chemical properties of heat-sensitive materials to achieve instant printing without ink or ribbon.

Characteristics

1. Substrate characteristics:

BOPP film: As a substrate, BOPP film has high tensile strength, impact strength, rigidity and toughness, ensuring the stability and durability of thermal sensitive synthetic paper during printing and use.

Waterproof: BOPP film has waterproof characteristics, so that thermal sensitive synthetic paper can maintain good printing effect and performance in wet environment.

Transparency: BOPP films have good transparency, making thermal synthetic paper an advantage in application scenarios where the underlying information needs to be displayed.

2. Heat sensing technology:

Instant printing: Thermal synthetic paper achieves instant printing effect through the color change of heat sensitive material when heated, without the use of ink or ribbon, simplifying the printing process.

Clarity: Thermal printing technology often provides high image and text clarity to meet the needs of a variety of application scenarios.

3. Wide range of applications:

Because of its instant, clear and easy printing characteristics, BOPP thermal synthetic paper is widely used in receipts, labels, bills, restaurant orders and other fields. In addition, its excellent physical properties also make it suitable for occasions where a certain durability is required.

4. Environmental Protection and Sustainability:

As a substrate, BOPP film may have better recyclability and environmental properties than some traditional paper materials (although the specific recycling situation needs to consider factors such as thermal coatings). However, in practical applications, it is also necessary to pay attention to the overall environmental impact of heat-sensitive synthetic paper and the recycling treatment scheme.

5. Note:

Although BOPP thermal synthetic paper has many advantages, its printing quality and durability may be lower compared to some other paper types, so it is more suitable for short-term use scenarios.

In the process of use, it is also necessary to pay attention to avoid high temperature, humidity and other factors that may adversely affect the thermal sensitive coating.

In summary, BOPP thermal synthetic paper with its unique substrate characteristics and thermal sensing technology, has shown a wide range of application potential and value in many fields.
