Appvion has expanded its Next Generation Technology product offering by launching CleanSlate, a direct thermal film that enhances traditional direct thermal performance by offering a higher level of environmental durability.
Appvion’s CleanSlate film can be used in standard direct thermal printers for pressure sensitive labels. Due to its color, CleanSlate is easily distinguishable and recognizable as a direct thermal film free of phenolic developers.
“Appvion’s R&D team developed a unique direct thermal film that creates a physical reaction leaving a permanent image behind. Its heat stability and long-term resistance to sunlight provides peace of mind for businesses and customers alike,” says Katie Sell, Appvion product manager.
Appvion recently introduced its Next Generation Technology, a patent-pending direct thermal coating design that produces heat stable, high-performing labels, films, and ticket and tag products. The following direct thermal paper facestocks are currently coated with the Next Generation Technology chemistry:
Appvion’s direct thermal papers and films are used worldwide in pressure sensitive labels, linerless labels, tickets, and tags within retail, grocery, warehousing, e-commerce, and gaming applications.
