XF-802 THERMAL TRANSFER PRINTABLE ALUMINUM LABEL STOCK
Description:
Polyonics XF-802 is a aluminum label material with a permanent pressure
sensitive silicone adhesive and a high opacity, white topcoat
specifically designed for thermal transfer printing on
aluminum labels.
Polyonics
XF-802 aluminum label material is designed for barcode or alphanumeric
identification of hot (up to 1120°F,
or 621°C)
metal
items. It is the ideal label to withstand the high temperatures
encountered in annealing, rolling, and other high temperature operations
encountered in metals manufacturing.
The
printed aluminum label resists smearing, even when the product and
label are directly removed from a hot environment.
The
choice of thermal transfer printer can make a real difference as
well on the overall aluminum label performance. Our materials can
be used with most industrial thermal transfer printers.
