To reduce and enhance the odor of wax based carbon ribbon through process improvement, efforts can be made in the following aspects:


1、 Optimize ink formula

Reduce the use of harmful solvents: solvents in ink are one of the main sources of odor. By developing ink formulations with low VOC (volatile organic compounds) or no VOC, the emission of harmful gases during the printing process can be significantly reduced. For example, using water-based ink or environmentally friendly solvents instead of traditional organic solvents.

Adding essence or deodorant: Adding an appropriate amount of essence or deodorant in the ink formula can effectively cover up or neutralize the bad smell. However, it should be noted that the addition of essence or deodorant should be controlled within a reasonable range to avoid new odor problems caused by excessive use.

2、 Improve production process

Precise control of heating temperature and time: During the heating, stirring, and dissolution process of ink, precise control of heating temperature and time is necessary to avoid adverse odors caused by overheating of the ink. At the same time, ensure that the ink is fully dissolved to reduce residual odors caused by incomplete dissolution.

Optimize the curing and drying process: During the curing and drying process of carbon ribbon, optimize the drying temperature and time to ensure that the ink layer is fully cured and reduce residual odors caused by incomplete curing. At the same time, environmentally friendly drying equipment is used to reduce the emission of harmful gases during the drying process.

3、 Strengthen raw material management

Select low odor raw materials: In the raw material procurement process, choose low odor, environmentally friendly resins, waxes, pigments and other raw materials. For example, choosing environmentally friendly paraffin oil with high flash point and low aromatic hydrocarbon residue as the wax component.

Strict quality control: Strictly control the quality of raw materials to ensure that they meet environmental requirements and avoid odor problems caused by raw material quality issues.

4、 Improve packaging and storage methods

Using sealed packaging: Sealed packaging is used for carbon ribbon products to reduce the chance of contact with air during storage and transportation, thereby reducing odor emission.

Avoid high temperature and high humidity environment: During storage and transportation, avoid placing carbon ribbon products in high temperature and high humidity environments to prevent accelerated odor emission and ink aging.

5、 Strengthen environmental awareness and training

Enhance employees' environmental awareness: Strengthen employees' understanding and training on environmental protection, so that they understand the impact of carbon ribbon odors on the environment and health, and pay more attention to odor control and reduction.

Establish an environmental management system: Establish a comprehensive environmental management system to monitor and manage the entire process of carbon ribbon production, ensuring that products meet environmental requirements.


The implementation of the above process improvement measures can effectively reduce the odor problem of enhanced wax based carbon ribbon, improve the environmental performance and user satisfaction of the product. At the same time, it also helps companies establish a good environmental image and sense of social responsibility.
