What are the material characteristics of thermal label paper?

The material characteristics of thermal label paper mainly include the following aspects:

First,Basic characteristics

1.Non-waterproof, non-oil-proof: Although the surface coating of thermal label paper is sensitive to printing instructions, its material itself does not have the ability to waterproof and oil-proof. This means that in wet or greasy environments, the information on the label may be affected.

2.Tear-off: The paper of thermal label paper is relatively thin, so its tearing strength is limited and it is easy to tear. This requires special attention when used to avoid information loss due to physical damage.

Second, printing and display characteristics

1.Fast response: Thermal label paper in the thermal printer can quickly respond to printing instructions, generally within a few seconds to complete the printing process. This fast printing speed makes thermal label paper ideal for situations where instant printing is required.

2.Clarity and color: Text and images printed on thermal label paper are very clear and brightly colored. This is due to the chemical reaction between the colorless dye in the thermal coating and the color developer after heating, which can accurately present the required text or graphics.

Third, durability

1.Durability: Although the thermal label paper is not waterproof, not oil resistant and can be torn, it still has a certain durability. In general, the information on the label can remain legible for a certain period of time. However, prolonged exposure to harsh environments may accelerate the fading and damage of the label.

2.Temperature sensitivity: Some thermal labels are temperature sensitive and can show different colors or patterns at different temperatures. This feature makes the thermal label paper have a certain application value in some special occasions (such as temperature identification).

Fourth, environmental protection

Harmless substances: Thermal labels usually do not contain harmful substances such as bisphenol A and have no negative effects on the environment and human health. This makes thermal label paper a relatively environmentally friendly label material.

Fifth,Applicability and cost-effectiveness

1.Wide range of application: thermal label paper is suitable for identification and recording needs of various sizes and shapes, and can meet the requirements of different industries and occasions. For example, it is widely used in supermarkets, logistics, medical and other fields.

2.Cost-effective: The cost of thermal label paper is low compared to other label materials. This is mainly due to its simple manufacturing process and a wide range of raw material sources. Therefore, in the case of a large number of labels, thermal label paper has become an economical and practical choice.

In summary, the thermal label paper has the basic characteristics of non-waterproof, non-oil proof, tear and so on; At the same time, excellent performance in printing and display; Although the durability is limited, it has a certain durability; In addition, it has the advantages of environmental protection, wide applicability and high cost efficiency. These characteristics make thermal label paper widely used in various industries and occasions.
