What are the technological trends in the mixed base carbon belt industry?

The technological development trend of the mixed base carbon belt industry is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. Go green

Water-based coatings instead of solvent coatings: With the improvement of environmental protection requirements, water-based coatings will gradually replace solvent coatings to reduce the use and volatilization of organic solvents, and realize the safety, economy and environmental protection of the production process. This trend will drive the mixed base carbon strip industry to make major adjustments in coating formulations to meet environmental regulations.

2. High performance

Improve product compatibility: Users want the same carbon belt to be suitable for multiple printers and multiple printing media to reduce procurement and time costs caused by frequent replacement of carbon belts. Therefore, high compatibility will become an important development direction of mixed carbon belt products.

Adapt to extreme environment: The application of high-end products continues to expand to unconventional and even extreme environments, requiring products to meet the extreme environment for wear resistance, weather resistance, corrosion resistance, washing resistance and other performance requirements. For example, the development of products such as high temperature resistant ceramic carbon belts will meet the needs of specific industries.

Improve printing efficiency: In order to improve printing efficiency and reduce production costs, users need thermal transfer carbon tape with faster printing speed, and from offline printing to online printing development, to meet the development trend of production integration and automation. The mixed base carbon strip industry is committed to increasing the coating speed to meet this market demand.

3. Thin shape

Thinner coating and base film: Thinner carbon strip coating and base film can not only reduce the amount of raw material, but also improve the thermal conductivity and other properties of the thermal transfer carbon strip. Therefore, mainstream manufacturers will increase research and development efforts, conduct in-depth research on the formulation design and preparation process of carbon strip coating and base film, in order to reduce the thickness under the premise of ensuring quality.

4. Automation and intelligence

Automated production: The mixed base carbon belt industry will continue to improve the level of automated production, improve the efficiency of coating preparation and quality stability and consistency through automatic control and other technical means, and lay the foundation for the efficiency and process accuracy of the subsequent coating process.

Intelligent management: With the development of technologies such as the Internet of Things and big data, the mixed-base carbon belt industry will gradually introduce intelligent management systems to achieve real-time monitoring and data analysis of the production process to optimize the production process and improve production efficiency.

5. The localization rate is improved

Technological breakthrough and domestic substitution: In recent years, domestic enterprises have continuously increased research and development investment in the field of mixed-base carbon belt, and in-depth development and industrial application of high-end products. In the future, with the technological breakthroughs of domestic enterprises in formula design and preparation process, the localization rate of mixed base carbon belt will continue to increase and gradually replace imported products.

To sum up, the technological development trend of the mixed base carbon belt industry will focus on environmental protection, high performance, thin shape, automation and intelligence, and the improvement of localization rate. These trends will promote the continuous innovation and development of the mixed-base carbon belt industry to meet changes in market demand.
