Frequently asked questions about polyimide sticker paper
What is polyimide sticker paper?
Polyimide sticker paper is a type of high-temperature labeling solution used in many industrial settings. Made from polyimide polymer film similar to Kapton it is coated with a high-temperature adhesive typically Silicone-based. It is most commonly used to track electronic components through their manufacturing process involving high heat processes like wave soldering, reflow ovens etc…
At what temperature can polyimide labels resist?
High-quality polyimide labels can resist extreme temperatures up to 260°c (500°F); this is applicable to wave soldering machines that apply heat to components for approximately 10–20 seconds. However, continuous operation at temperatures around 150°c are acceptable.
What is the difference between PET and polyimide sticker paper?
PET (polyester) sticker paper is very resilient but melts or shrinks/deforms when subjected to heat above 150°c. Therefore, it cannot be used in high-heat manufacturing processes. Polyimide sticker paper has been engineered to maintain its physical properties at temperatures up to 260°c eliminating deformation/shrinkage issues common to polyester based materials.
Which type of printer should be used for printing polyimide sticker paper?
For successful barcode printing on polyimide label stock that will remain readable after subject to heat/chemical treatment, it is recommended that Thermal Transfer Printers utilizing specialized high-temperature resin ribbon cartridges be used.
Why is using polyimide labels important in pcb manufacturing
They provide essential traceability: with a scannable barcode throughout the entire assembly process (including ovens and chemical treatment) manufacturers can track origins of parts, dates of assembly and quality control metrics without risk of degradation of the barcode image.
