Monitoring scheme for ribbon adhesion

April 27, 2023

Abstract: Ribbon is a kind of printing consumables that we are familiar with. Many food, pharmaceutical, daily chemical and other industries use their printing production date or shelf life, and do not prevent the ink layer from falling off, which should strictly monitor the adhesion of the ink layer. In this paper, Labthink XLW (EC) intelligent electronic tensile testing machine ribbon ink adhesion, and detailed test procedures and test principle content, and other equipment parameters, enterprises in ink for adhesion to verify reference dissecting .

Keywords: ribbon, ink layer adhesion, adhesion, peel force, intelligent electronic tensile machine

1 , the status quo

The composition of the ribbon is very simple, that is, the belt base woven from nylon yarn is made by soaking and dyeing the ink. The working principle is to use the dot striker in the needle printer head or the letter striker in the English typewriter to hit the print ribbon and produce a printing effect on the printing paper. The application field has been developed from the original print of Zui to the goods, tickets, labels, tickets, cards and so on. Its substrate is developed from a single sheet of paper to plastics, fibers, composites, fabrics, calendered materials, and more. The ribbons are divided into four categories, which are suitable for printing on different materials.

* FR type wax-based thermal transfer ribbon : suitable for paper, leather and other materials; temperature range: 90 ~ 120 °C ; Features : clear printing, strong adhesion, cost-effective, but printed film characters are easy to hollow.

The second type of FC2 resin-based thermal transfer ribbon: suitable for paper, polyethylene film ( PE ), polyvinyl chloride film ( PVC ) and other materials; temperature range: 110 ~ 160 °C ; Features: clear printing, strong adhesion But with a slight sticky tape.

The third type of FC3 resin-based thermal transfer ribbon: suitable for aluminum foil ( AL ), polypropylene film ( PP ), polyester film ( PET ), polyethylene film ( PE ), polyvinyl chloride film ( PVC) and other materials . Temperature range: 110 ~ 160 °C ; Features: performance is the same as SCF900 , but the adhesion is slightly worse than the SCF900 ribbon.

The fourth type of SCF900 resin-based thermal transfer ribbon: suitable for aluminum foil ( AL ), polypropylene film ( PP ), polyester film ( PET ), polyethylene film ( PE ), polyvinyl chloride film ( PVC) and other materials . Temperature range: 120 ~ 180 °C ; Advantages: excellent rub resistance, clear printing, resistant to cooking, frozen at 20 °C .

4.1 Test principle

The sample is clamped between the two chucks of the clamp, and the two chucks are moved relative to each other. The force value sensor and the built-in displacement sensor on the movable chuck are used to collect the force value change and displacement during the test. The change is performed to calculate the performance indexes such as adhesion, peel strength, tensile strength, and deformation rate of the sample.

4.2 Scope of application

(1) This equipment is specialized in plastic film, composite materials, flexible packaging materials, plastic hoses, adhesives, adhesive tapes, stickers, medical patches, release papers, protective films, composite covers, metal Adhesion, peeling, peeling force, stretching, deformation, tearing, heat sealing, bonding, puncture force, opening force, low speed unwinding of foil, separator, back sheet material, non-woven fabric, rubber, paper, etc. force of test performance, such as oral tearing force of the lid, the piercing / drawing force, puncture force infusion bag cover, soft rubber stopper piercing / drawing force and the like.

(2) This equipment meets a number of national and international standards, such as GB 8808 , GB/T 1040.1 , GB/T 1040.2 , GB/T 1040.3 , GB/T 1040.4 , GB/T 1040.5 , GB/T 4850 , GB/T 12914 , GB/T 17200 , GB/T 16578.1 , GB/T 7122 , GB/T 2790 , GB/T 2791 , GB/T 2792 , GB/T 17590 , ISO 37 , ASTM E4 , ASTM D882 , ASTM D1938 , ASTM D3330 , ASTM F88 , ASTM F904 , JIS P8113 , QB/T 2358 , QB/T 1130, etc.

4.3 Equipment parameters

  • The test specifications of the equipment are 50 N and 500 N , and the customer can choose according to the needs of the test.
  • The test accuracy of the device is better than 0.5 , which ensures the accuracy of the test data.
  • The device supports the two-way test mode of tension and compression. There are seven test speeds for the user in the pull and press directions, which are 50 mm/min , 100 mm/min , 150 mm/min , 200 mm/min , 250. Mm/min , 300 mm/min , 500 mm/min .
  • The device integrates eight independent test procedures including stretching, peeling, tearing, heat sealing and puncture resistance, providing users with a choice of test items.
  • This equipment adopts the pneumatic sample clamping mode to prevent the sample from slipping and ensure the accuracy of the test data.
  • Intelligent configuration such as limit protection, overload protection and automatic return to ensure the user's operation safety.
  • Support Lystem TM laboratory data sharing system to achieve unified management of test data.

5 , the test process

(1) Take 5 strips of each of the 24 mm × 100 mm ribbon samples .

(2) Take the same width tape (force value is about 3 N ) and bond the sample together with a standard load, rolling speed and rolling times with a YGJ-02 adhesive belt press .

(3) Clamp the tape and the ribbon with the upper and lower clamps of the device, so that the long axis direction of the sample coincides with the center line of the two clamps.

(4) Set the sample name, sample thickness, test temperature, test humidity and other parameters.

(5) Click the test start option, the test starts, the equipment automatically tests the force value during the sample stripping process, and reports the end result of the Zui test.

6 , test results

The results of the two ribbon samples are as follows: 30 mm ribbon peeling force 0.037 N , 0.034 N , 0.040 N , 0.033 N , 0.041 N ; 25 mm ribbon peeling force 3.619 N , 3.046 N , 2.917 N , 2.878 N , 2.808 N .

7 , conclusion

From the above results, the detection peel force is greater than the ribbon 25 mm 30 mm ribbon peel force, attachment ability described above 25mm ink ribbon ribbon 30 mm, 25 mm to 30 mm compared to the ribbon causes the ink ribbon is not easy to fall off the film The phenomenon.
