Iimak introduces resin ribbon for chemical applications

Iimak, a manufacturer of thermal transfer ribbons, has introduced SP990, a resin ribbon for tough on-demand labeling applications.     

SP990 is formulated to resist the harshest chemicals including xylene and toluene. Its performance can be attributed to a proprietary acrylic in the chemistry which strongly anchors the thermal transfer image to the substrate. In addition, it features maximum heat and abrasion resistance. SP990 is suited to print on a variety of topcoated and print treated polyesters, including labels and overlaminations.  

‘SP990’s unique acrylic not only provides excellent image adhesion but also outstanding chemical resistance, making it ideal for the most extreme labeling applications such as automotive, electronics, industrial and healthcare,’ said Amy Schmitt, Iimak director of marketing and customer service. ‘We are also very encouraged with the ribbon’s print quality. Its fine line resolution is ideal for applications that require very small barcodes and text.’
