Waterproof thermal synthetic paper is similar to ordinary thermal paper in nature, the main difference is that it adds waterproof, oil-proof and other characteristics. The problem of whether waterproof thermosensitive synthetic paper is toxic can be analyzed from the following aspects:


First, the basic composition and characteristics of thermal paper

Thermal paper is a kind of paper printed by a thermal coating, and most of its production materials are healthy and non-toxic. However, due to its special way of writing, chemicals such as bisphenol A (BPA) are added to the production material as color developing agents. Bisphenol A is a low toxic chemical, relatively stable at room temperature, the direct impact on the human body is not large. However, if heated or long-term large exposure, it may cause certain damage to the human body, such as increasing the risk of cancer or causing endocrine disorders.


Second, the particularity of waterproof heat-sensitive synthetic paper

Waterproof thermal synthetic paper adds waterproof, oil-proof and other characteristics to ordinary thermal paper, which is usually achieved by coating a special waterproof coating on the surface of the paper. The coating itself is also usually non-toxic or low toxic, and its purpose is to enhance the durability and adaptability of the paper.


Third,Security assessment

Toxicity assessment: Although the waterproof thermosensitive synthetic paper contains chemicals such as bisphenol A, its toxicity to the human body under normal conditions of use is low. Internationally, no poisoning caused by the normal use of thermal paper has been found. However, prolonged high exposure or improper handling (such as burning) can have harmful effects.

Recommendations for use: For sensitive people such as infants and pregnant women, it is recommended to minimize exposure to thermal paper and its products. At the same time, when using thermal paper, you should avoid direct contact with sensitive parts such as mouth and nose, and wash your hands in time to reduce potential risks.


Fourth,Conclusion

In summary, waterproof thermosensitive synthetic paper is relatively safe under normal use conditions, its toxicity is low and the direct impact on the human body is not large. However, in order to protect personal health and safety, it is recommended to follow the relevant safety specifications and precautions when using. If you have any concerns or discomfort, please consult a professional doctor or relevant organization.
