Thermal Transfer Ribbon Additives
Product Overview
We supply waxes and wax emulsions for thermal transfer ribbons to thermal ribbon manufacturers both in Japan and overseas.
Advantage
- A strong coating layer with durability against water and with water repellency can compete with one made from solvent based dispersion
- An excellent stability against diluting with alcohol lets Trasol diluted with alcohol coated onto a hydrophobic substrate like PET film and make it easy to dry coated surface by Trasol diluted with alcohol
- A finer and narrower distribution of particle of the emulsion product is able to provide a homogeneous and smooth coating layer
- Due to a good compatibility to both anionic and nonionic resin emulsions or latexes Trasol improves durability against water and provides anti-blocking.

Performance
Durability Against Water
method
- coating the sample diluted with 75% IPA onto PET film by bar coater (The reference sample was directly used without a dilution with alcohol in order to avoid coagulation by alcohol.)
- drying the coated film in a room temperature and obtaining 10 μm thickness of coated layer on film
- dipping the coated film in water for three day and then put it in an ultra-sonic vibration for one minute
- evaluating the durability of coated layer against water by observing re-dispersing into water.

---|---|---|---|
Durability against water | good | good | no good |
Observation | Adhering on film | Peeling off the coated layer from base film | Peeling off the coated layer from base film |
No re-dispersing | No breaking down and no re-dispersing | Re-dispersing into water | |
Lubricity
method
- coating the sample diluted with 75% IPA onto PET film by bar coater
- drying the coated film in a room temperature and obtaining 10μm thickness of coated layer on film
- measuring co-efficient of friction of coated surface according to JIS K7125
result
Trasol CN | Trasol PF60 | |
---|---|---|
static co-efficient of friction | 0.35 | 0.46 |
kinetic co-efficient of friction | 0.18 | 0.45 |
Trasol CN | Trasol PF60 | |
---|---|---|
static co-efficient of friction | 0.24 | 0.28 |
kinetic co-efficient of friction | 0.17 | 0.22 |
Water-Repellency
method
- coating the sample diluted with 75% IPA onto PET film by bar coater
- drying the coated film in a room temperature and obtaining 10μm thickness of coated layer on film
- measuring water repellency of coated surface according to former JIS P8137
result
Trasol CN | Trasol PF60 | Blank | |
---|---|---|---|
water-repellency *1 | R4 | R9 | R0 |
*1) lowest water-repellency : R0 → R10 : highest water-repellency
