Thermal Paper

In industries where clarity, durability, and precision are critical, thermal paper must deliver uncompromising performance in variable information labels (VIL). KaMin’s mineral solutions enhance thermal paper performance by improving thermal transfer from the printing head to the thermal layer. They provide effective thermal insulation—through heat conduction, convection, and radiation—while also ensuring print fidelity and long-lasting image retention. Whether for medical records, lottery tickets, QR codes, stacked linear bar codes, or point-of-sale receipts, KaMin’s kaolin-based products ensure every image and code remains crisp, legible, and durable throughout its lifespan.

Maximizing Print Performance in Thermal Paper

Thermal paper must meet demanding performance standards, especially in industries like healthcare, retail, e-commerce, and logistics, where clear and reliable print quality is essential. KaMin’s minerals provide critical thermal insulation, ensuring precise heat transfer and consistent image formation. This enhanced insulation maximizes print sharpness, contrast, decode ability and longevity, making thermal paper suitable for applications where durability and accuracy cannot be compromised.

KaMin’s solutions also support the delicate balance between print tightness and longevity. This balance is vital for thermal paper used in medical documentation, barcode scanning, and security applications, where both print clarity and resistance to fading are required.
