POLYONICS, INC.
POLYONICS XF-803 THERMAL TRANSFER PRINTABLE ALUMINUM LABEL
STOCK (WHITE)
Description:
Polyonics XF-803 is a aluminum label material with a permanent
pressure sensitive, ultra-high-temperture silicone adhesive and a high opacity, white
topcoat, specifically designed for thermal transfer printing
on aluminum labels. Do not touch topcoat or ribbon print when hot as smearing may occur, once cooled, ribbon and topcoat are bonded and smear resistant.
Polyonics XF-803 aluminum label material is designed for barcode
or alphanumeric identification of hot (up to 1112°F, or
600°C) metal items. It is the ideal label to withstand
the high temperatures encountered in steam pipe, oven, and
other long term high temperature exposure applications.
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,
such as Zebra, Intermec, Sato, Printronix, NEC, Datamax, and
Brady label printers, for harsh environment bar code label
printing with a wide variety of thermal transfer ribbons. |
