AXR EL
Resin ribbon ExpertDescription
- Ribbon developed exclusively for the electronics industry
- Resistant to circuit board soldering and cleaning processes
- Print sharpness for small barcodes
AXR®EL is the Thermal Transfer ribbon specially designed by ARMOR to generate dense barcodes and to guarantee the legibility and durability of information printed on labels for electronic products. The resistance levels to heat and cleaning products offered by the AXR®EL guarantees reliable traceability right up to the end of the product life cycle.
Main usages
Certifications and standards


AXR®EL complies with the most stringent regulations including those specific to the electronics industry.





Resistance to soldering


Some of the soldering processes use temperature cycles up to 270°C (518 °F).
AXR®EL is resistant to 300°C (572°F) to guarantee a print that remains perfectly legible.
AXR®EL is resistant to 300°C (572°F) to guarantee a print that remains perfectly legible.
Resistance to cleaning


AXR®EL is resistant to both solvent and water-based cleaning products. Traceability data is retained throughout the production chain.

Compatibility with technical labels


AXR®EL is compatible with the various synthetic substrates used to label electronic products.
- Polyimide: A technical material suitable for the most extreme environments. Resistant to temperatures up to 250°C/482°F.
- Polyester (PET): A durable material resistant to solvents and heat (max 160°C/320°F).
- Acrylate: A material that will not become distorted when exposed to heat.
Printing quality


AXR®EL prints all types of barcode and alphanumeric characters (ANSI grade A) with great precision.
- Print sharpness: The AXR®EL prints very dense barcodes, including 2D, on small labels.
- Blackness: With a DOR (optical specular density) of 1.80, the AXR®EL prints data that is perfectly legible even on coloured substrates.
Storage
By respecting the following storage conditions, we recommend to use the ribbons within 12 months after production date.
- Keep away from light
- Temperature 5-35°C (40-95°F)
- Humidity 20-80 %
Packaging
- Double-wall corrugated box offering good compression resistance.
- Rolls individually filmed for good protection during transport and storage.
- Loose fill packaging material to hold the products during transport.
- Identification and traceability information on the box and on each roll.
- All packaging items are recyclable and comply with Directive 1994/62/EC.
