A
new research report by Transparency Market Research offers a
comprehensive evaluation of the global Thermal
Papers
Market. The
study, titled “Thermal
Papers Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends
and Forecast 2017 - 2025”,
is available for sale on the firm’s website.
Thermal
Papers Market: Overview
Thermal
paper is a special fine paper that is coated with a chemical
bisphenol A (BPA) that changes color when exposed to heat. It is
employed in thermal printers and particularly in inexpensive or
lightweight devices such as adding machines, cash registers, and
credit card terminals. The surface of the paper is coated with a
solid-state mixture of a dye and a suitable matrix; a combination of
a fluoran leuco dye as an example. When the matrix is heated above
its melting point, the dye reacts with the acid, shifts to its
colored form, and the changed form is then conserved in a metastable
state when the matrix solidifies back quickly enough. The reactant
acid in thermal paper is often BPA. The coating generally turns black
when heated, but coatings that turn blue or red are sometimes
utilized.

While
an open heat source (such as a flame) can discolor the paper, a
fingernail swiped quickly across the paper will also generate enough
heat from friction to produce a mark. Direct thermal technology
offers fast, noise-free printing with the lowest cost of ownership
and a small footprint. Other benefits include mobility, full graphics
capability, 600 dpi outputs, no ribbons or cartridges, a single piece
of media per use, and little to no maintenance.
Thermal
Papers Market: Dynamics & Trends
The
chemical BPA is utilized for thermal paper coatings because of its
stability and heat-resistance. This allows inkless printing for
receipts from cash registers. People who often come in contact with
BPA-coated receipts have a higher level of BPA in their bodies than
people with average contact. Therefore, a resolution to ban BPA in
thermal receipt papers was enacted recently.
Recently,
bisphenol S (BPS), an analog of BPA that has been shown to have
similar in vitro estrogenic activity to BPA, has been employed in
thermal paper coatings. The recycling of thermal paper coated with
BPS can introduce BPS into the cycle of paper production and cause
BPS contamination of other types of paper products.
Polaroid
recently developed the Zink (zero-ink) technology. The paper is
utilized in compact photo printers. It has several layers: a backing
layer with optional pressure sensitive adhesive, heat-sensitive
layers with cyan, magenta and yellow pigments in colorless form, and
overcoat. Zink technology allows the printing of full-color images in
a single pass without requiring ink cartridges.
The
color addressing is achieved by controlling the heat pulse length and
intensity. The color-forming layers contain colorless crystals of
amorphochromic dyes. These dyes form microcrystals of colorless
tautomer’s, which convert to the colored form by melting, and
retain color after re-solidification.
Thermal
Papers Market: Segmentation
Based
on types of chemicals used, the thermal papers market can be
segmented into leuco dyes, developers, sensitizers, and stabilizers.
In terms of application, the thermal papers market can be segmented
into point of sale (POS) receipts, entertainment tickets, RFID (Radio
Frequency Identification) labels, and others. In terms of region, the
thermal papers market can be segmented into North America, Latin
America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa.
Thermal
Papers Market: Region-wise Outlook
Globally,
the market for thermal papers has been expanding due to innovative
zero ink technology. The market has been expanding rapidly in Asia
Pacific, especially in India, Taiwan, China, Japan, and countries in
Southeast Asia. Furthermore, the market in Middle East & Africa
is anticipated to expand considerably due to the economic development
in the region.
