Data Sheet

Thermal Transfer Ribbon

N 508 Sw

Resin
NE & FH

is our most durable resin quality for non-ferrous printers and direct printing systems. It has excellent print quality on films and can also be used on paper surfaces - with restrictions. It is approved for use in the food sector and UL certified on some label materials.

This quality has very good smudge and scratch resistance, as well as the best chemical resistance for a resin-NE quality. There is even some basic resistance to petrol, brake fluid and hydraulic oil, as well as grease and hand perspiration, making it ideal for use in both chemical and food applications.

Although it is suitable for all applications, it is mainly used in direct printing (TTO - Thermal Transfer Overprint) on packaging films for the imprint of variable information.

Product range

We manufacture thermal transfer ribbons of this quality to order in every possible dimension and design to measure!
For an optimal use of material and the best price, the jumbo roll width should be used completely. The minimum quantity for a made-to-measure order is 200m².
Net width of jumbo roll: 880 mm

Resin quality for non-ferrous pressure system with the best mechanical and chemical resistance. Particularly resistant to white spirit, diesel and engine oil, but also to grease and hand sweat, petrol, brake fluid and hydraulic oil.

Shelf life and storage conditions

In principle termal transfer ribbons have a long shelf live. We guarantee that, if stored correctly ( temperature: 5 - 35 °C, relative humidity: 30 - 80 % ) our ribbons remain in perfect condition for use for 1 year from delivery.

Test methods

Our thermal transfer ribbons are tested according to CALOR | REGMA testing procedures.
We are happy to supply details upon request.
