Polyimide labels (PI)
Libeli’s professional labels and adhesive-free tags made of polyamide are undoubtedly products created for special tasks. They are extremely resistant to high temperatures. Polyamide labels, known as Kapton, can withstand up to +398 degrees Celsius, which makes them ideal for labelling PCBs (printed circuit boards) and other components and subassemblies where extreme heat is involved.
Polyamide labels are unaffected by wave soldering, high furnace temperatures or washing with aggressive chemicals. In addition, they are non-abrasive, waterproof and UV-resistant. They can withstand almost anything and still look the same as they do immediately after application.
Adhesive-free labels made of this material have a short-term resistance of +370, +600 or +1000 degrees Celsius.
In recent years, the control and tracking of every stage of production has become standard. This has led to a search for labelling solutions that can withstand the diverse conditions during production and post-processing of printed circuit boards. Such labels should ensure excellent print legibility, irrespective of external factors they are subjected to. It is also very important to be able to produce labels of a really small size.
All these conditions are met by labels made from polyamide. Thanks to them, day-to-day monitoring of each production can proceed quickly, efficiently and seamlessly. As a result, excellent product quality is guaranteed and production waste is minimised. Not surprisingly, polyamide labels have taken the electronic and other component market by storm, taking over other previously used labelling methods which were not as robust.
Polyamide labels produced by Libeli are available in a variety of roll sizes to fit all printer models available on the market. We have both the appropriate material resources and an extensive machinery park at our disposal, which means that we are able to cope with both typical and non-standard orders received by our company.
Customers can therefore choose to print their labels themselves or use our services, simply by sending us their label requirements. In the case of do-it-yourself printing, however, it is important to choose the right thermal transfer ribbon, as this guarantees the print quality of the polyamide labels. These products can also be purchased from our company. Naturally, we can assist you with our knowledge and experience at every stage of ordering, both the labels and the compatible ribbons.
