Thermal Transfer Ribbon

Resist T 506 Sw

Resin
Flat-Head

is a resin quality that can be used flexibly on many materials for all flat-head printers. With restrictions, it can also be used on NE printers. It is characterised by a very good print quality: fine lines and small characters can be printed with high resolution.

It prints with excellent results on all film materials but also on smooth paper surfaces. On glossy papers it should be tested if the colour matches the label surface.

Resist / T 506 Sw can be used in the food sector and is UL certified for numerous label materials. The print is seawater resistant and the quality is approved according to BS5609 section III.

The print is smudge and exceptionally scratch resistant (no deterioration after 600 cycles in a Crockmeter at 10N), eraser resistant and cannot be removed with adhesive tape.

The print has a very high resistance to diesel and oil, a medium resistance to alcohol – but is not resistant to petrol, brake fluid, hydraulic oil and organic solvents. Temperatures of up to 150° with simultaneous friction cannot harm it.

The classic applications are the printing of type plates in machine and plant construction, for mechanical parts and electrical components and all high-quality and durable labels made of paper and film. Another application is the GHS labelling of chemicals.
