What is BOPP thermal synthetic paper?

BOPP thermal sensitive synthetic paper is a special type of paper that combines BOPP (biaxially oriented polypropylene film) substrate and thermal sensing technology. The following is a detailed introduction to BOPP thermal sensitive synthetic paper:

1、 Definition and basic concepts

Definition: BOPP thermal sensitive synthetic paper is a special printing material made by coating a thermal sensitive material containing a thermal agent on BOPP film as the substrate.

Basic concept: This type of paper utilizes thermal printing technology to quickly produce images or text when heated, without the need for ink or ribbon, thus achieving fast and instant printing effects.

2、 Material and process characteristics

Substrate characteristics: BOPP film has high tensile strength, impact strength, rigidity, toughness, and good transparency, making it an ideal substrate choice. These characteristics enable BOPP thermal sensitive synthetic paper to withstand high tension during the printing process, without deformation, while ensuring the clarity and color reproduction of printed images.

Thermal sensitive coating: Thermal sensitive coating is a key part of BOPP thermal sensitive synthetic paper, which contains a thermal agent that can quickly undergo chemical reactions when heated, resulting in color changes. The formula and performance of thermal sensitive coatings have a crucial impact on printing results.

3、 Performance and application

Performance:

Water resistance: BOPP film itself has good water resistance and can effectively block the penetration of water vapor. Meanwhile, the thermal sensitive coating has also undergone special treatment to ensure that it is not easily peeled off or blurred when in contact with moisture. Therefore, BOPP thermal sensitive synthetic paper is often used in scenarios that require good water resistance, such as cold storage labels, outdoor advertising signs, etc.

Wear resistance: BOPP thermal synthetic paper has good wear resistance and can withstand a certain degree of friction and scratching, maintaining the integrity and clarity of printed images.

Color reproduction degree: The color reproduction degree of BOPP thermosensitive synthetic paper is affected by various factors, including substrate quality, thermosensitive coating formula, coating uniformity, drying and curing conditions, etc. By optimizing these factors, the color reproduction of BOPP thermosensitive synthetic paper can be improved, enabling it to present more vivid and accurate colors.

Application:

Retail industry: used for printing price tags, promotional information tags, etc., which need to be updated quickly and accurately to reflect real-time prices or promotional information of goods.

Logistics industry: used for printing express waybills, transportation labels, etc. These labels need to withstand various environmental conditions during transportation, such as moisture, friction, etc.

Medical industry: used for printing drug labels, patient information labels, etc. These labels need to have extremely high clarity and durability to ensure the accuracy of medical information.

Catering industry: used for printing menus, orders, etc. These printed products need to be quickly generated and have a certain degree of durability to cope with harsh environments such as kitchens.

In the field of e-commerce, it is used to print shipping orders, return orders, etc. These documents need to clearly and accurately record transaction information for customers and merchants to verify.

In summary, BOPP thermal sensitive synthetic paper is a special printing material with excellent performance and wide application prospects. It can not only improve work efficiency and accuracy, but also attract customers' attention through rich color expression, enhance brand image and customer experience.
