PE thermal transfer

PE thermal transfer

1. PE thermal transfer

PE thermal transfer is a type of plastic thermal transfer.

PE, scientific name: polyethylene (polyethylene) is a thermoplastic resin made by polymerization of ethylene. Polyethylene is odorless, non-toxic, and feels like wax.
Compared with other plastic materials, such as ABS, PP, etc., PE plastic is softer.
However, PE thermal transfer does not limit the realization of thermal transfer technology due to its soft characteristics. It is also suitable for surface decoration of PE products with various flat, curved, special-shaped, cylindrical and conical surfaces.

2. Characteristics of PE thermal transfer products

PE materials are insoluble in general solvents at room temperature, have excellent low temperature resistance and good chemical stability, so they are difficult to print. Unless the body or surface is modified, most PE products are colorless or light-colored products.

3. PE thermal transfer process realization

PE thermal transfer process consists of thermal transfer film printing and transfer processing.

1) Pe thermal transfer film printing adopts two-component ink printing according to the characteristics of pe products.

Printing process understanding: thermal transfer film printing process.

2) After the pe thermal transfer film is printed, it enters the transfer stage.

The process of thermal transfer is to transfer the pattern to the surface of the product through the thermal transfer machine [heating and pressurizing]. After molding, the thermal transfer ink and the surface of the product are dissolved into one.

The molecular weight of Pe plastic is as high as 10,000-loa ten thousand.

(The higher the molecular weight, the better its physical and mechanical properties, and the closer it is to the required level of engineering materials. But the higher the molecular weight, the greater the difficulty of processing.)

Therefore, among all plastic thermal transfers, the temperature of hot stamping is the highest, generally controlled at 240-260 degrees, and the glue layer of the transfer film is relatively thicker.
