What is the difference between PET thermal matte silver paper and ordinary PET paper?

There are significant differences between PET thermal matte silver paper and ordinary PET paper in many aspects, mainly reflected in the material characteristics, application scenarios and functional characteristics.

First, the difference in material characteristics

1. Surface coating and color:

PET thermal matte silver paper: The surface has a special coating of silver polyester polymer material, which presents the visual effect of matte silver, non-reflective, with a metallic texture and elegant silver luster.

Ordinary PET paper: There is usually no matte silver coating, and the surface color is varied, which may include bright white, transparent, bright silver, etc., depending on the coating treatment in the production process.

2. Printing adaptability:

PET thermal matte silver paper: Especially suitable for thermal printing technology, it can respond quickly under the thermal printer to produce clear images and text.

Ordinary PET paper: Although it also supports a variety of printing methods, it is not necessarily optimized specifically for thermal printing.

3. Durability:

Both have a certain degree of durability, but PET thermal matte silver paper may perform better in terms of high temperature resistance, water resistance, oil resistance, and scratch resistance, thanks to its special coating and material structure.

Second, differences in application scenarios

PET thermal matte silver paper: due to its excellent high temperature resistance, water resistance, oil resistance and other characteristics, as well as the adaptability of thermal printing, it is widely used in electronic products, automotive parts, medical equipment, commercial paper, labels, bar codes and other high-quality fields. Especially in situations where label information needs to be stored for a long time or labels are in harsh environments, the advantages of PET thermal matte silver paper are particularly obvious.

Ordinary PET paper: Depending on the specific surface treatment and color, it is suitable for a wider range of general label and packaging applications. For example, brightening PET paper may be used for packaging materials that require high transparency and gloss; Clear PET paper is suitable for scenes that need to display internal objects.

Third, functional characteristics of the difference

PET thermal matte silver paper: In addition to the basic label function, it also emphasizes the fast response and clarity of its thermal printing, as well as the aesthetics and texture of the matte silver surface. In addition, its high temperature resistance, anti-fouling, anti-scratch and other characteristics also make it have irreplaceable advantages in some special application scenarios.

Ordinary PET paper: according to the specific application needs to show different functional characteristics. For example, waterproof PET paper may be used for packaging that needs to resist wet environments; Wear-resistant PET paper is suitable for applications that require frequent friction or scratching.

In summary, there are obvious differences between PET thermal matte silver paper and ordinary PET paper in material characteristics, application scenarios and functional characteristics. Which material to choose depends on the specific application requirements and scenario conditions.
