XF-565 THERMAL TRANSFER PRINTABLE WHITE POLYIMIDE LABEL STOCK
Description:
Polyonics XF-565 is a polyimide film based label with a permanent
pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive and a high opacity,
matte white topcoat specifically designed for thermal
transfer printing.
Polyonics
XF-565 polyimide label material is designed for barcode or alphanumeric
identification of
printed circuit boards, or related electronic components. It is
the ideal label to withstand mixed circuit board processes, on either
the top or bottom side of the board. It has excellent resistance
to harsh fluxes, cleaners, saponifiers, and wave solder environments,
and resists all commonly employed methods of cleaning. XF 565 polyimide
labels are one of several polyimide label materials available..see
Polyimide and
Kapton Label Products.
The printed polyimide label resists smearing, even when the board
and label are directly removed from a reflow or wave solder environment.
The XF-565 matte topcoat resists solder balls. For a list of recommended
thermal transfer ribbons see Thermal
Transfer Ribbons for Polyimide Labels.
Colored versions of XF-565 polyimide label material are available.

The
choice of thermal transfer printer can make a real difference as
well on the overall polyimide label performance. Our materials can
be used with most industrial thermal transfer printers, such as
Zebra, Intermec, Sato, Printronix, NEC, Datamax, and Brady
label printers, for polyimide label printing with a wide variety
of thermal transfer ribbons.
XF-565
polyimide labels are also suitable for use in ISO clean-room applications,
when used with a film liner instead of a paper liner. Contact Clean
Room Polyimide Label Materials for further information.

Customer
expectations, supported by our laboratory data clearly show that
XF 565 polyimide label material can be stored for at least one year
in an environment below 80 degrees F and 60% RH . We are confident
that our product will perform well beyond this time frame. However,
it remains the responsibility of the user to assess the risk of
using such product. We encourage customers to
develop functional testing protocols that will qualify a product's
fitness for use, in their actual applications.
