Is PET thermal sensitive silver paper prone to fading?

PET thermosensitive silver paper is less prone to fading compared to regular thermosensitive paper. This is mainly due to the stability of PET material and the protection of the silver coating. The following is a detailed analysis of the non fading characteristics of PET thermosensitive silver paper:

1. Material characteristics

PET material: PET (polyethylene terephthalate) is a polymer material with excellent physical and chemical stability. It is not easily affected by the external environment and undergoes chemical changes, so it can maintain the image and text on the label for a long time without fading.

Asian silver coating: The Asian silver coating not only endows PET thermosensitive Asian silver paper with unique luster and texture, but also serves to protect the thermosensitive coating. It can prevent the thermal sensitive coating from coming into direct contact with air, moisture, etc., thereby extending the shelf life of the label.

2. Printing technology

Thermal printing: Although traditional thermal printing technology generates labels with relatively short shelf life, PET thermal silver paper uses special thermal coatings and printing technology to make the printed images and text clearer and more durable.

Thermal transfer printing: For labels that require higher shelf life, thermal transfer printing can be used. This method transfers images and text onto label paper through carbon tape, which can achieve longer storage time and better weather resistance.

3. Storage conditions

Dry environment: Storing PET thermosensitive silver paper in a dry and dark environment can further extend its storage time. Moisture and high temperature environments can accelerate the decomposition of thermal sensitive coatings, leading to label fading.

Avoid direct sunlight: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can also accelerate the decomposition of thermal sensitive coatings. Therefore, direct sunlight should be avoided during storage and use.

4. Application scenarios

Long term storage requirements: Due to the non fading nature of PET thermosensitive silver paper, it is suitable for occasions that require long-term storage of labels, such as asset management, logistics tracking, etc.

Harsh environment: In some harsh environments such as high temperature, low temperature, humidity, etc., PET thermosensitive silver paper can still maintain good performance and is not easily faded or damaged.

In summary, PET thermosensitive silver paper is less prone to fading compared to general thermosensitive paper due to its advantages in material properties, printing technology, and storage conditions. Therefore, it has broad application prospects in various situations that require long-term preservation of labels.
