There are significant differences between the reinforced wax-based carbon strip and the ordinary wax-based carbon strip in many aspects, which are mainly reflected in the composition of materials, performance and application scenarios. Here's a breakdown of the differences:


First, material composition

Ordinary wax-based carbon strip: mainly wax and carbon black (assumed to be black carbon strip) as the main material, as a coating material products. This carbon strip adds wax to the raw material to make it have good sealing and certain high temperature resistance.

Reinforced wax-based carbon tape: On the basis of ordinary wax-based carbon tape, reinforced materials such as glass fiber and ceramic fiber are added. The addition of these reinforcement materials significantly improves the physical properties of the carbon strip, such as tensile and compressive resistance.

Second, performance

1. Tensile and compression resistance:

Ordinary wax-based carbon strip: Due to the relatively simple composition of the material, its tensile and compressive resistance is relatively weak.

Enhanced wax-based carbon tape: Due to the addition of reinforcement materials, its tensile and compressive resistance has been significantly improved, more durable.

2. Sealing performance:

Common wax-based carbon strip: the addition of wax makes it have better sealing performance and can melt and fill on the sealing surface.

Enhanced wax-based carbon tape: Although the sealing performance is still good, due to the presence of reinforcement materials, the filling performance may be slightly worse than that of ordinary wax-based carbon tape in some specific applications.

3. Heat resistance:

Ordinary wax-based carbon strip: it has good sealing performance at room temperature, but its performance at high temperature will be affected, and it can only be used below 200 ° C.

Enhanced wax-based carbon strip: Due to the addition of reinforcement materials, its high temperature resistance is better, can be used above 250℃, suitable for higher temperature environment.

4. Other properties:

Enhanced wax-based carbon strips also generally have good chemical resistance, wear resistance and stronger adhesion, which makes them stable and durable in a variety of harsh application environments.

Third, application scenarios

Ordinary wax-based carbon tape: Because of its lower cost and less processing difficulty, it is more suitable for some simple application scenarios, such as ordinary labels, shipping and address labels, retail labels and hangtags.

Enhanced wax-based carbon strip: Due to its excellent physical properties and durability, it is more suitable for high-end products with certain requirements, such as products requiring sealing, insulation and other operations in high temperature environments, or application scenarios with high requirements for printing effects and durability.


In summary, there are significant differences in material composition, performance and application scenarios between enhanced wax-based carbon strips and ordinary wax-based carbon strips. The selection should be considered according to the specific application requirements and scenarios.
