What is the difference between heat-resistant paper and ordinary paper

There are significant differences between heat-resistant paper and ordinary paper in many aspects, mainly including material composition, printing principle, application scenario, preservation timeliness and high temperature resistance.

1. Material composition

High temperature resistant thermal paper: mainly composed of paper base and thermal coating, of which thermal coating is the key part. Such coatings usually contain special chemicals that remain stable at high temperatures and do not fade or deform easily. In addition, some high temperature resistant thermal paper may also add water, oil, anti-plastic and other characteristics of the ingredients to enhance its comprehensive performance.

Ordinary paper: It is mainly made of lignin fiber and other additives through multiple processing processes. It does not contain a thermal coating, so it does not have the characteristics of thermal printing.

Second, the printing principle

Heat-resistant paper: Heat through the heat-sensitive print head to make the chemical in the heat-sensitive coating change color, so as to print out text or images. This printing method has the advantages of high speed, low noise and high resolution.

Ordinary paper: It is usually printed by toner or ink pigment. It requires the use of toner cartridges or ink cartridges in the printer to transfer toner or ink to the paper to form the desired text or image.

3. Application scenarios

High temperature resistant thermal paper: Because of its unique high temperature resistance, it is widely used in fields that need to withstand high temperature environment, such as high temperature cargo transportation in the logistics industry, high temperature production line identification in industrial manufacturing, and high temperature disinfection environment identification of medical equipment.

Ordinary paper: It is mainly used for daily office, study, writing and other scenarios, such as printing documents and writing notes.

4. Preservation timeliness

High temperature resistant thermal paper: Although it has high temperature resistance, its preservation timeliness is still affected by the stability of the thermal coating. In general, the preservation timeliness of heat-resistant paper is relatively long, but the specific time needs to be determined according to product characteristics and storage environment.

Ordinary paper: the preservation time is relatively long, can be stored for decades or more. This is because ordinary paper does not contain chemical components that fade easily, and the paper itself has good stability.

5. High temperature resistance

High temperature resistant thermal paper: As the name suggests, this thermal paper can maintain stable performance in high temperature environment, not easy to fade or deformation. This gives it a unique advantage in high temperature application scenarios.

Ordinary paper: does not have high temperature resistance. In a high temperature environment, ordinary paper may be deformed, curled or burned, which affects its use effect.

In summary, there are significant differences between high temperature resistant thermal paper and ordinary paper in material composition, printing principle, application scenarios, preservation timeliness and high temperature resistance. When choosing paper, the appropriate paper type should be selected according to the specific needs and application scenarios.
