What is BOPP Color Thermal synthetic paper?

BOPP color thermal synthetic paper is a special paper type, and its definition can be elaborated from the following aspects:

Definition overview

BOPP color thermosensitive synthetic paper is a synthetic paper that combines BOPP (bidirectionally stretched polypropylene film) and thermal technology. It usually uses BOPP film as the substrate, and coats one or more layers of thermal paint on its surface to achieve thermal printing function and give the paper rich color.

Main composition

Base material: BOPP film, with light weight, non-toxic, odorless, moisture-proof, high mechanical strength, good dimensional stability and excellent printing performance. This makes it an ideal substrate for thermosensitive synthetic paper.

Thermal coating: A layer or layers of chemicals applied to the surface of a BOPP film that change color when heated to produce an image or text. Thermal coatings usually contain colorless dyes (leuco dyes), color developing agents, sensitizers, fillers, adhesives, stabilizers and lubricants.

Color layer: In addition to the thermal coating, BOPP color thermal synthetic paper may also add color layers on top of the substrate or thermal coating to achieve colorful printing results.

Technical characteristics

Thermal printing: The paper is heated by the thermal print head to react the chemicals in the thermal coating to produce a clear, long-lasting image or text on the paper.

Rich in color: Thanks to the addition of color layers, BOPP color thermal synthetic paper can print colorful patterns and text to meet the needs of different occasions.

Strong durability: BOPP film as a substrate, making this synthetic paper has a high tensile strength and water resistance, able to resist wear and liquid erosion in daily use.

Application field

BOPP color thermal synthetic paper is widely used in situations that require instant printing and have certain requirements for color, such as POS printing receipts in retail, menu printing in the catering industry, and label printing in the logistics industry. Its excellent thermal printing performance and rich color performance make it widely recognized and applied in these fields.

In summary, BOPP color thermal synthetic paper is a combination of BOPP film and thermal technology of multi-functional synthetic paper, with thermal printing, rich color and strong durability characteristics, widely used in need of instant printing and color has certain requirements.
