Resin based carbon belt and mixed based carbon belt have their own advantages, and the choice of which is better depends on the specific application scenario and needs. Here is a detailed comparison of the two carbon belts:
1. Material composition
Resin based carbon strip: made of pure carbon fiber and resin composite, resin content is high.
Mixed base carbon strip: a combination of resin and other materials (such as wax), usually a mixture of carbon fiber and glass fiber, or a mixture of wax and resin.
Second, mechanical properties
Resin-based carbon strips: Typically have higher strength, stiffness and hardness, while being lighter. This makes it excellent in application scenarios that require greater stress and pressure.
Mixed base carbon strip: Mechanical properties between wax based carbon strip and resin based carbon strip, cost-effective, but may not be as stable as resin based carbon strip under extreme stress conditions.
Three, corrosion resistance
Resin-based carbon strip: Due to the higher content of the resin, it may be more vulnerable to erosion in some corrosive environments, although its overall corrosion resistance is still strong.
Mixed base carbon belt: Due to the addition of glass fiber or other reinforcement materials, corrosion resistance is relatively stronger, and can better adapt to a variety of harsh environments.
4. Service life
Resin based carbon belt: the service life is generally long, usually can be used for more than ten years, suitable for long-term preservation and use of the occasion.
Mixed base carbon strip: The service life is relatively short, but depends on the proportion and quality of the mixed material.
5. Printing effect
Resin based carbon belt: The printing effect is clear, bright and wear-resistant, which can ensure that the label information will not be blurred or faded in long-term use, and ensure the readability and accuracy of the bar code.
Mixed base carbon strip: The print density is not much different from the resin-based carbon strip, providing a deeper color depth, but may be slightly inferior to the resin-based carbon strip in terms of wear resistance and long-term clarity.
6. Application characteristics
Resin based carbon strip: suitable for harsh environments and extreme conditions, such as high temperature, humidity, chemical solvents, etc. Commonly used for nameplate labeling, laboratory labels, automotive interior labels, etc.
Mixed base carbon belt: has a strong label adaptability, can print a variety of types of labels, including coated paper, synthetic paper, etc. It is suitable for labels with certain requirements for print quality and smooth surface.
Vii. Price
Resin based carbon strip: Due to the use of high-performance resin materials, usually a higher price.
Mixed base carbon strip: The price is usually lower than resin-based carbon strip because it combines a variety of materials and reduces the cost.
Viii. Summary and Suggestions
To sum up, resin based carbon belt and mixed based carbon belt have their advantages and disadvantages. If the application scenario has high requirements for printing results, durability and corrosion resistance, and the budget is sufficient, then resin-based carbon tape is a better choice. If the application scenario has certain requirements for print quality, and the cost factor needs to be taken into account, then the mixed base carbon strip is a cost-effective choice. Therefore, when choosing carbon belts, trade-offs should be made according to specific needs and budgets.
