Plastic thermal transfer film hot stamping temperature

Plastic thermal transfer film hot stamping temperature

1 The role of plastic thermal transfer film hot stamping temperature
Common types of plastic thermal transfer films of different substrate materials are: ABS, AS, PS, PVC, EVA, PP, PE, PET, PC, PU, acrylic, etc. The size of the plastic thermal transfer film hot stamping temperature is appropriate, which largely determines the decorative effect of the thermal transfer film transferred to the product surface.

Below, let's take a look at these common plastic thermal transfer film hot stamping temperatures.

2 Hot stamping temperature of plastic thermal transfer films of different materials Film hot stamping temperature
Because the hot stamping temperature of plastic thermal transfer films of different materials is different in rigidity, shrinkage, heat resistance, chemical stability, etc.

1. Hot stamping temperature of PVC and EVA plastic thermal transfer films
In terms of heat resistance, PVC and EVA materials are the worst, so when doing thermal transfer, they should choose thermal transfer films that can be hot stamped at low temperatures, and the temperature should be controlled at 140°C-160°C for the best.

2. ABS/PS/Acrylic Plastic Thermal Transfer Film Hot Stamping Temperature
ABS/PS/Acrylic materials have relatively stable chemical properties, can be well combined with the ink on the transfer film, and have a relatively good shrinkage rate, so you also need to pay attention to the pressure of the thermal transfer machine during hot stamping. The hot stamping temperature of such products is generally 180°C -200°C for the best, and the pressure is controlled at 0.5Kpa/s.

3. PP Plastic Thermal Transfer Film Hot Stamping Temperature
PP has a higher surface strength, so during the hot transfer process, compared with ABS, the pressure should be greater and the temperature should be higher. The temperature is generally controlled at 210-220 degrees for the best.

4. PP Plastic Thermal Transfer Film Hot Stamping Temperature
PE material is softer, has a lower density, and has poor surface adhesion, but good toughness. Therefore, among all the plastic thermal transfer film hot stamping temperatures, the hot stamping temperature is the highest, generally controlled at 240-260 degrees, and the glue layer of the transfer film must be thick.

To sum up, when doing the hot stamping temperature of plastic thermal transfer film, the thermal transfer film, transfer temperature, pressure control and other aspects used are different for plastics of different materials.
