The mixing ratio of the mixed base carbon strip is determined according to the specific application requirements and label material. In general, the mixing ratio of the mixed base carbon strip refers to the ratio of wax and resin, which can be adjusted according to the printing effect, durability, cost and other factors.
Factors that determine the mix ratio
1.Print effect: If the printing effect is clear and delicate, it may be necessary to increase the proportion of resin, because the resin composition can improve the resolution and clarity of the print.
2.Durability: If the label needs to withstand harsh environmental conditions (such as high temperature, humidity, chemical solvents, etc.), then increasing the proportion of resin can improve the durability of the label.
3.Cost: Wax-based carbon strips are generally cheaper than resin-based carbon strips, so in the case of limited cost, the proportion of wax can be appropriately increased to reduce the cost.
Common mix ratio
1.General mixed base carbon strip: usually contains 40% to 50% resin composition, this proportion of carbon strip has good scratch resistance, friction resistance and chemical corrosion resistance, suitable for a variety of material labels.
2.Enhanced mixed base carbon bands: may contain a higher proportion of resin components to provide greater durability and resistance to chemical attack. The exact percentages may vary by manufacturer and product.
Recommendations for determining the mix ratio
1.Refer to the manufacturer's recommendation: Different manufacturers of mixed base carbon strip may have different mixing ratio and scope of application, it is recommended to refer to the technical specifications provided by the manufacturer and use recommendations to determine the mixing ratio.
2.Perform practical tests: Before determining the mix ratio, practical tests can be performed to evaluate factors such as print effect, durability and cost at different ratios. By comparing the test results, you can choose the mix that best suits your application's needs.
Matters needing attention
1.Label material: The mixing ratio of the mixed base carbon strip also needs to consider the factor of label material. Different label materials have different requirements for the carbon strip, so it is necessary to choose a mixing ratio that matches the label material to obtain the best printing effect.
2.Environmental conditions: Environmental conditions are also one of the factors that need to be considered when determining the mixing ratio. For example, in high temperature or humid environments, it may be necessary to increase the proportion of resin to improve the durability of the label.
In summary, the mixing ratio of the mixed base carbon strip is determined according to the specific application requirements and label material. When determining the mixing ratio, it is recommended to refer to the manufacturer's recommendations, perform actual tests, and consider factors such as label materials and environmental conditions.
