Low Temperature Low Shrinkage BOPET Base Film Heat Stabilized for Thermal Transfer Ribbon

Product Description / Production Introduction

This low temperature low shrinkage BOPET base film is a heat stabilized biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate film engineered as a base for thermal transfer ribbons and barcode printing. Its heat stabilization delivers low thermal shrinkage of no more than 1.0 percent at 150 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes, so the film stays flat and registration accurate through coating, slitting and hot printing, without curling or distortion. High tensile strength of at least 200 MPa supports stable, break free running on high speed coating and spooling lines, while uniform thickness keeps coating weight and print density consistent across the roll. Continuous heat resistance up to 180 degrees Celsius suits the heat of the print head, and high transparency with low haze keeps barcodes, fine text and graphics sharp and highly readable. Available in ultra thin 4.5 to 12 micron grades with customized widths and roll lengths, this heat stabilized shrink resistant base film is ideal for thermal transfer ribbons and barcode label printing.

Key Features

Low Thermal Shrinkage

A dedicated heat stabilization process gives the film very low thermal shrinkage, so it keeps its dimensions and flatness through heat and low temperature processing without deforming, curling or distorting.

High Dimensional Stability

Excellent dimensional stability keeps the web flat and registration accurate, so printing, coating, laminating and converting stay precise from the first metre to the last and from roll to roll.

Low Temperature Processing Compatible

The film performs reliably in low temperature processing, helping converters reduce energy use and protect heat sensitive layers while still holding tight dimensional tolerance.

Heat Stabilized, Heat Resistant

Heat stabilized construction allows continuous use up to 180 degrees Celsius, making the base film stable through hot stamping, metallization, coating and other thermal processes.

High Tensile Strength

Tensile strength of at least 200 MPa in both machine and transverse directions supports stable, break free running on high speed coating, slitting and converting lines.

Uniform Thickness and Gauge Control

Thickness is tightly controlled across the web, so coating weight, optical performance and converting behaviour stay consistent and predictable roll after roll.

High Transparency and Low Haze

High clarity with low haze keeps the film bright and clean, supporting accurate inspection and sharp downstream printing or coating.

Solvent and Chemical Resistance

Good resistance to common solvents and chemicals protects the film during printing, coating and lamination, helping maintain surface quality and performance.

Ideal Base for Thermal Transfer Ribbon

The heat stabilized, low shrinkage base and uniform gauge deliver even coating and consistent print density, so thermal transfer ribbons print sharp barcodes and fine text.

Ultra Thin High Strength Gauge

Ultra thin 4.5 to 12 micron grades increase usable length per roll and reduce material cost while staying strong enough for high speed spooling.

Application Scenarios

Thermal Transfer Ribbon - Base film for wax, wax-resin and resin thermal transfer ribbons, where low shrinkage and uniform gauge ensure consistent print quality.

Barcode and Label Printing - Ideal for barcode and label printing, where sharp edges, readable text and consistent print density are essential for reliable scanning.

High Speed Coating and Spooling - Suits high speed coating, slitting and spooling lines that require dimensionally stable, break free base film.

Variable Data Printing - Supports variable data and QR code printing, where consistent print density and clarity matter.

Industrial and Retail Labels - Used for industrial and retail labels that must stay legible and scannable in demanding conditions.

Electronic and Precision Converting - A reliable base film for precision converting and electronic applications requiring flatness and uniform gauge.
