What are wax-based carbon bands?

Wax-based carbon tape is a category of carbon tape, its main feature is wax as the main material as the coating. The following is a detailed description of the wax-based carbon belt:

First, definition and characteristics

Definition: Wax-based carbon strip is a type of carbon strip, the main components of which include wax and carbon black, in which wax is used as a coating material.

Features:

1.Low melting point: Since the melting point of wax is lower than that of resin, the energy level required for printing with wax-based carbon strips is much lower than that of mixed and resin-based carbon strips.

2.Economical: The wax based carbon strip has a lower cost and is a more economical option.

3.Printing effect: The wax based carbon tape printing effect is clear, but the durability is relatively weak, and it may be easy to wipe or blur after a long time.

Second, scope of application

Applicable material: wax-based carbon belt is mainly suitable for the surface feel slightly convex material, such as coated paper, synthetic paper, clothing tag and so on.

Not applicable scenarios: For materials with a smooth surface like a mirror, such as PET products, wax-based carbon strips may not be the best choice.

Third, market position

Market share: wax-based carbon tape occupies a large share in the market, about 70%, and is a consumable commonly used in barcode printers.

Application: Wax-based carbon tape is widely used in all kinds of ordinary paper printing, such as outer box marks, coated paper labels, shipping labels, shipping labels, warehouse labels and so on.

Fourth, purchase and use suggestions

Note when buying:

1.Confirm the required specifications, including width and length. Common specifications such as width 30mm to 110mm, length 100m to 300m, etc.

2.Select the appropriate type of carbon tape according to the printing material to avoid the selection of unsuitable carbon tape resulting in poor printing effect.

Precautions when using:

1.Pay attention to the coordination with the paper to ensure the best printing effect.

2.Avoid prolonged exposure to high temperature or humidity, which will affect the performance of the carbon strip.

In summary, wax-based carbon tape is an important category of carbon tape, with its economic benefits, clear printing effect and other characteristics in the market occupies an important position. However, when selecting and using, it is necessary to pay attention to its scope of application and precautions to ensure the best printing effect and use experience.
