What are the advantages and disadvantages of BOPP thermal synthetic paper

BOPP thermal synthetic paper combines the advantages of BOPP film and thermal technology with a range of unique properties and advantages and disadvantages. Here is a detailed analysis of its advantages and disadvantages:

Advantage

1.Strong and durable:

BOPP film as a substrate, gives thermal synthetic paper high mechanical strength, so that it can withstand a certain amount of physical impact and tear, more durable than ordinary thermal paper.

2.Waterproof and oil resistant:

BOPP film has good waterproof and oil-resistant properties, so that the thermal sensitive synthetic paper can remain clear in wet or greasy environments, and is not easy to blur or fall off.

3.Instant print:

Thermal technology allows BOPP thermal synthetic paper to print clear images or text in real time, without additional ink or carbon strips, simplifying the printing process and improving work efficiency.

4.Chemical resistance:

The paper has a certain resistance to a variety of chemicals, and can protect the printed content from corrosion or fading to a certain extent.

5.Environmentally friendly recyclable:

The production process of BOPP thermal synthetic paper is pollution-free and can be recycled, in line with modern environmental protection concepts.

6.High clarity:

After corona treatment, BOPP thermal synthetic paper has good printing adaptability, can be color printing and get exquisite appearance effect, printing content is high clarity.

7.Good transparency:

The BOPP film itself has good transparency, which makes the thermal sensitive synthetic paper perform well when it is necessary to display the contents of the package.

Disadvantages

1.The cost is relatively high:

Compared with ordinary thermal paper, the production cost of BOPP thermal synthetic paper is higher, so the price will increase accordingly.

2.Poor heat sealing:

BOPP film itself has poor heat sealing property and cannot be used directly for occasions requiring heat sealing treatment. Although the heat sealing performance can be improved by coating the heat sealable resin adhesive solution, it will increase the production complexity and cost.

3.Easy to accumulate static electricity:

In the high-speed production line, the BOPP thermal synthetic paper is easy to generate static electricity, and it is necessary to install an electrostatic remover for processing. Electrostatic problems can affect production efficiency and quality.

4.Higher requirements for print heads:

Due to the special nature of the BOPP film, the wear on the print head may be relatively large, so it is necessary to choose a high-quality print head and regular maintenance replacement.

5.Limited scope of application:

Although BOPP thermal synthetic paper is widely used in many industries, its special properties also limit its use in some specific occasions. For example, it may not be suitable in packaging that requires high barrier properties or extreme temperature conditions.

In summary, BOPP thermal synthetic paper is widely welcomed for its strong and durable, waterproof and oil-proof, instant printing and other advantages, but at the same time, there are shortcomings such as high cost and poor heat sealing. In practical applications, it is necessary to select according to specific needs and conditions.
