Comprehensive analysis of BOPP thermal sensitive 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 comprehensive analysis of BOPP thermal sensitive synthetic paper:

1、 Basic concepts and definitions

BOPP thermal sensitive synthetic paper is a special printing material made from BOPP film as the substrate, coated with colored thermal sensitive materials containing thermal agents. It utilizes thermal printing technology to quickly produce color 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.

Colorless, odorless, non-toxic, in compliance with environmental protection requirements.

Characteristics of thermal sensitive coating:

Contains a heat sensitive agent that can quickly change color and form images or text when heated.

Specially processed to ensure that it is not easily detached or blurred when in contact with moisture.

Process characteristics:

The production process involves multiple process steps, including raw material mixing, extrusion plasticization, casting, stretching, surface treatment, coating, winding, slitting, and aging treatment.

It is necessary to strictly control parameters such as raw material ratio, mixing quality, processing temperature, stretching ratio, and coating amount to ensure the performance of the final product.

3、 Performance and application

Performance characteristics:

Excellent water resistance: It can effectively block the penetration of water vapor, maintain the clarity and readability of the label.

Good wear resistance: able to withstand certain physical damage, increasing the difficulty of forgery (in anti-counterfeiting applications).

Fast printing speed: Clear and vivid text and patterns can be quickly printed using a thermal printer without the need for ink cartridges or other consumables.

Application areas:

Anti counterfeiting technology: used to print anti-counterfeiting labels and variable information anti-counterfeiting codes, improving the anti-counterfeiting level and brand image of goods.

Retail store: used for printing price tags, promotional information tags, etc., to attract customers' attention and improve sales effectiveness.

Logistics industry: used for printing express waybills, transportation labels, etc., to ensure the integrity and readability of labels during transportation.

Medical industry: used for printing drug labels, patient information labels, etc., to meet the strict requirements of the medical industry.

Catering industry: used for printing menus, orders, etc., to improve ordering efficiency and accuracy.

E-commerce: Used for printing shipping and return orders to meet the efficient operational needs of the e-commerce industry.

4、 Market and development trends

Market situation:

The supply and demand of BOPP thermal synthetic paper market have both increased, but the supply side has grown rapidly, resulting in a supply-demand contradiction.

Industry competition is intensifying, and enterprises need to continuously improve product quality and technological innovation capabilities to cope with market challenges.

Development trend:

Environmental Protection: With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, environmentally friendly BOPP thermal synthetic paper will become the future development trend. Enterprises need to adopt environmentally friendly raw materials and develop biodegradable or easily recyclable film materials.

High performance: With the continuous expansion of application fields, the performance requirements for BOPP thermal sensitive synthetic paper are also increasing. Enterprises need to continuously improve the durability, reliability, and functionality of their products to meet market demand.

Intelligence: With the development of intelligent technology, the production and printing process of BOPP thermal sensitive synthetic paper will gradually realize intelligence and automation to improve production efficiency and product quality.

In summary, BOPP thermosensitive synthetic paper has been widely used in multiple fields due to its unique material properties and diverse processing possibilities. In the future, with the improvement of environmental awareness and the development of intelligent technology, BOPP thermal sensitive synthetic paper will usher in a broader development prospect.
