How can lubricants improve the processing performance of BOPP colored synthetic paper?

Lubricants significantly improve the processing performance of BOPP colored synthetic paper through various methods in the production process. The specific effects of lubricants on improving the processing performance of BOPP colored synthetic paper are as follows:

1、 Reduce friction coefficient

On the production line of BOPP color synthetic paper, the paper needs to go through multiple processes and equipment for processing. During these processes, friction will occur between the paper and the equipment components. The use of lubricants can significantly reduce the friction coefficient between paper and equipment, allowing paper to pass through the production line more smoothly and reducing problems such as paper breakage, wrinkling, and wear caused by friction.

2、 Protecting production equipment

Lubricants are not only beneficial for paper, but also protect production equipment. By reducing the friction between paper and equipment, lubricants can lower the degree of wear on equipment components and extend the lifespan of the equipment. For example, on the surface of the press roller and dryer, lubricant can form a protective film, reducing direct contact between the paper and the roller, reducing wear and scratches on the roller surface, maintaining the surface smoothness of the roller, and thus improving the quality of the paper.

3、 Improve the surface properties of paper

Lubricants can fill the tiny pores and uneven areas on the surface of paper, making the paper surface smoother. A smooth paper surface not only has a better appearance, but also improves printing adaptability, allowing ink to adhere and spread better, resulting in clearer and more vivid printing effects. In addition, lubricants can form a uniform thin film on the surface of paper, improving its glossiness and enhancing its visual effect and market competitiveness in packaging, decoration, and other fields.

4、 Prevent paper adhesion

In the papermaking process, paper is prone to adhesion in the wet and dry parts, especially in the production of low basis weight paper and high humidity environments. Lubricants can form a barrier layer on the surface of paper, preventing direct contact between papers and thus avoiding adhesion. This helps with the smooth progress of subsequent processing and use, such as printing, coating, cutting, and other processes.

5、 Improve production efficiency

The use of lubricants can reduce the running resistance of paper on the production line, making it easier to separate and operate, thereby improving production efficiency. At the same time, lubricants can also reduce the heat and stress generated by friction, avoid quality degradation caused by paper overheating, and further improve production efficiency.

In summary, lubricants play an important role in the production process of BOPP colored synthetic paper, significantly improving its processing performance by reducing friction coefficient, protecting production equipment, improving paper surface properties, preventing paper adhesion, and increasing production efficiency.
