How is the scratch resistance of the mixed base carbon strip?

The scratching resistance of the mixed base carbon strip is relatively good, but slightly worse than that of the resin-based carbon strip. The following is a detailed analysis of the scratch resistance of the mixed base carbon strip:

First, the characteristics of the mixed base carbon belt

The mixed base carbon strip is a kind of carbon strip with resin and wax as the main components. It combines the advantages of wax based carbon strip and resin based carbon strip, has a high melting point and excellent scratch resistance, chemical corrosion resistance. Most mixed base carbon bands consist of two or more layers, with mixing ratios varying as needed.

Second, scratch resistance performance

Compared with the wax based carbon strip, the scratch resistance of the mixed based carbon strip is significantly enhanced. Because the main components of the wax-based carbon strip are carbon black and wax, its scratch resistance is not strong, and it is easy to wipe and blur. The mixed base carbon strip contains a higher proportion of resin components, usually with a resin content of 40-50%, so the scratch resistance is significantly improved.

Compared with the resin-based carbon strip: although the scratch resistance of the mixed base carbon strip is good, it is still slightly inferior to the resin-based carbon strip. The resin base carbon strip is all resin base, the resin content is up to 70-90%, so it has stronger scratch resistance and corrosion resistance.

Third, application scenarios

Mixed base carbon strips are favored because of their good scratch resistance and wide range of applications. It is suitable for printing relatively smooth label surfaces, such as coated paper, synthetic paper, tags, clothing labels and other labels that need to be stored for a long time. These labels may be subject to friction and scratching during transportation, storage and use, and the mixed base carbon strip keeps the label clear and readable.

Fourth, precautions

The selection of the mixed base carbon strip should be comprehensively considered according to the specific printing needs and the use environment. For example, for labels that need to be stored for a long time and require high scratch resistance, resin-based carbon strips can be selected; For some scenes that have certain requirements for cost and scratch resistance are not particularly high, the mixed base carbon strip is a cost-effective choice.

When using the mixed base carbon strip, it is also necessary to pay attention to its compatibility with other printing materials and the match of the printing equipment to ensure the best printing effect and equipment operating stability.

In summary, the scratch resistance of the mixed base carbon strip is relatively good, and it can meet the scratch resistance requirements of most label printing. However, in specific demanding application scenarios, it may be necessary to consider the use of resin-based carbon strips with stronger scratch resistance.
