What are the raw materials and characteristics of wax-based carbon belts

Raw material

Wax based carbon strips are mainly made from the following raw materials:

Carbon fiber: As one of the main structural components of the carbon belt, it provides a certain strength and stability.

Graphite: Together with carbon fiber, it forms the basic skeleton of the carbon belt, and graphite also has good electrical conductivity and lubricity.

Carbon: Also as an important part of the carbon belt, the addition of carbon may help improve the high temperature resistance of the carbon belt and the printing effect.

Waxy: It is the key component in the wax-based carbon strip, which determines the melting point of the carbon strip and the energy level requirements when printing. Wax usually has a high melting point, but can melt and adhere to the printing medium during the thermal transfer printing process.

peculiarity

1.Wide label adaptability: wax-based carbon tape is suitable for a variety of label materials, especially ordinary coated paper and other rough surface materials, with good versatility.

2.Cost economy: Because the raw material price of wax-based carbon belt is relatively low, and the production process is relatively simple, its cost is more economical in all kinds of carbon belts.

3.Excellent printing effect: the wax-based carbon strip can print clear and delicate images and text to meet the general printing needs.

4.High temperature resistance: Although the wax melting point is relatively low, the wax-based carbon strip can still maintain a stable printing effect under a certain high temperature environment, which is suitable for high-speed printing and other scenarios.

5.Anti-static back coating: Some wax-based carbon strips have anti-static back coating, which can effectively protect the print head from static interference and damage, and extend the service life of the print head.

It should be noted that although the wax-based carbon strip has the above advantages, its durability is relatively weak, and the printed images and text are easy to blur or fall off when used for a long time or subjected to friction and scratching. Therefore, the selection of carbon belts needs to be balanced according to specific application scenarios and needs.
