What are the preservation conditions of wax-based carbon belts?

The preservation conditions of wax-based carbon strips are critical to maintaining their properties and quality. Based on information from multiple sources, the following are the specific requirements for the preservation conditions of wax-based carbon strips:

First, temperature conditions

Storage ambient temperature: It is usually recommended to store wax-based carbon strips in the range of -5 ° C to 40 ° C (there are also claims of 5 ° C to 35 ° C). This temperature range helps prevent physical or chemical changes to the carbon strip due to overheating or cooling, which can affect its printing effect and service life.

Second, humidity conditions

Storage environment humidity: humidity should be controlled between 20% and 85% (it is also said that 40% to 85% or 45% to 85%). The appropriate humidity can prevent the carbon strip from hygroscopic or excessive drying, thus avoiding problems such as adhesion, broken tape or unclear printing when printing.

Third, storage period

Maximum storage time: Under suitable storage conditions, it is usually recommended that the storage time of the wax-based carbon strip is not more than one year. Long-term storage may lead to a decline in the performance of the carbon strip and affect the printing effect.

Fourth, other precautions

Avoid direct sunlight: Ultraviolet rays in sunlight can cause damage to carbon belts, so direct exposure to sunlight should be avoided.

Moisture-proof and moisture-proof: In addition to controlling the humidity of the storage environment, ensure that the storage place is dry and ventilated to avoid moisture in the carbon belt.

Avoid squeezing and friction: During storage and transportation, the carbon belt should be avoided from squeezing and rubbing to prevent surface damage or internal structural changes.

Original packaging preservation: If possible, it is best to keep the wax-based carbon strip in its original packaging to maintain its original protective layer and tightness.

To sum up, in order to maintain the best performance and quality of wax-based carbon strips, users should be stored in strict accordance with the above conditions. At the same time, the carbon strip should also be checked before use to ensure that it is in good condition before printing.
