What material is thermal synthetic paper

Thermal synthetic paper is a special type of thermal paper that combines synthetic materials and thermal sensing technology. It is mainly composed of two main parts: the substrate as the support layer and the heat sensitive material as the key part. Heat-sensitive synthetic paper can undergo chemical reactions under the action of light, heat and pressure to generate images and text on the paper. This material is widely used in thermal printing technology, its features include no ink or ribbon, instant printing, monochrome or two-color printing, adaptability, simple printing mechanism, suitable for short-term printing, rolling printing and light sensitivity.

Thermal sensitive synthetic paper is widely used in cash registers, bar code printers, bar code scales, label printers and other equipment, for commodity certificates, price labels, fresh supermarkets, fruit stores. In addition, it can also be used for logistics label and bar code printing to facilitate the tracking and management of items.

The production process of heat-sensitive synthetic paper includes the steps of coating the heat-sensitive coating, drying and setting, and coating the protective layer. The thermal coating is composed of thermal pigments, polymers and other additives, of which the thermal pigment is the key part, which contains compounds that can produce biochemical reactions under hot conditions, and this compound will release a lot of heat after the reaction, making the color of the coating change. Polymers are an important component in the adhesion of heat-sensitive pigments to paper substrates. By drying, the moisture of the heat-sensitive coating can be removed to ensure its shine and flatness.
