What is the difference between waterproof thermosensitive synthetic paper and ordinary thermosensiti

There are significant differences between waterproof thermosensitive synthetic paper and ordinary thermosensitive paper in many aspects, which are mainly reflected in their performance, application scenarios and service life. Here's a breakdown of the differences:

First, performance differences

1.Waterproof performance:

Waterproof thermal synthetic paper: with a high degree of waterproof performance, its surface is covered with a thick protective layer, which can effectively block the penetration of water, to ensure that the information on the label or bill will not be blurred or damaged by water in a humid environment.

Ordinary thermal paper: easy to fade or damage in humid environments, does not have waterproof performance or weak waterproof performance.

2.Other protective properties:

Waterproof thermal synthetic paper: In addition to waterproof performance, it usually has excellent properties such as oil resistance, wear resistance, tear resistance, etc., which can maintain the integrity and readability of labels or bills in a variety of harsh environments.

Ordinary thermal paper: The protective performance of these aspects is relatively weak and easy to be affected by the external environment.

Second, application scenarios

Waterproof thermosensitive synthetic paper: due to its excellent waterproof, oil proof, wear resistance and other properties, especially suitable for outdoor environment, wet environment or need to contact with water application scenarios, such as fresh food packaging, cold chain logistics, outdoor advertising labels.

Ordinary thermal paper: it is more used in indoor environments or dry conditions, such as supermarket receipts, express bills and other short-term use of labels and bills.

Third,Service life

Waterproof thermosensitive synthetic paper: Due to its excellent protective properties, it can maintain a long service life and reduce the frequency of label or bill damage and replacement due to environmental factors.

Ordinary thermal paper: the service life is relatively short, easy to be affected by the external environment and fade or damage.

Fourth, the printing effect

Waterproof thermosensitive synthetic paper: the printing effect is clear, bright, and the printed content is not easy to fade, and the readability of the information can be maintained for a long time.

Ordinary thermal paper: although the printing effect is also better, the printed content is easy to fade or blur when stored for a long time or affected by the external environment.

Fifth,Cost consideration

Waterproof thermal synthetic paper: Due to its excellent performance and a wide range of application scenarios, the cost may be slightly higher than ordinary thermal paper. However, in the long term, the overall cost may be lower due to its longer service life and reduced replacement frequency.

Ordinary thermal paper: the cost is relatively low, and it is suitable for application scenarios that require little performance such as waterproof and oil proof.

In summary, there are significant differences between waterproof thermosensitive synthetic paper and ordinary thermosensitive paper in performance, application scenarios, service life and printing effect. Customers should be based on the actual needs and use of the environment when choosing a comprehensive consideration.
