Is 60gsm Jumbo Roll Sublimation Paper non - toxic?

Hey there! As a supplier of 60gsm Jumbo Roll Sublimation Paper, I often get asked whether our product is non - toxic. It's a super important question, especially when you're dealing with materials that are used in various applications, some of which might involve close contact with people or the environment. So, let's dive right in and find out if our 60gsm Jumbo Roll Sublimation Paper is non - toxic.

First off, let's understand what sublimation paper is. Sublimation paper is used in the sublimation printing process. In this process, special inks are printed onto the paper, and then, through heat and pressure, the inks turn from a solid to a gas without going through the liquid phase. This gas then bonds with the fibers of the material (like polyester fabrics or coated metals) to create a permanent, high - quality print.

Now, when it comes to toxicity, there are a few things we need to consider. The main components of our 60gsm Jumbo Roll Sublimation Paper are the base paper and the coating. The base paper is typically made from natural wood pulp. Wood pulp is a natural and renewable resource, and it's generally non - toxic. It's the same kind of material that's used in a lot of everyday paper products, like notebooks and newspapers.

The coating on the sublimation paper is what makes it work for the sublimation process. It helps the ink adhere to the paper and then release it properly during the heat transfer. Our coating is formulated to be as safe as possible. We use chemicals that are compliant with international safety standards. For example, we make sure that the coating doesn't contain heavy metals like lead, mercury, or cadmium. These heavy metals can be extremely toxic and can cause serious health problems if they're released into the environment or absorbed by the body.

We also test our 60gsm Jumbo Roll Sublimation Paper regularly to ensure that it meets strict safety criteria. We work with independent laboratories that conduct a variety of tests, including tests for volatile organic compounds (VOCs). VOCs are chemicals that can evaporate into the air and can be harmful to human health, especially when inhaled in large quantities. Our paper has very low levels of VOCs, which means that it's not going to release a bunch of harmful fumes during the printing or heat transfer process.

Another aspect to consider is the inks that are used with the sublimation paper. The toxicity of the final printed product can also depend on the inks. As a paper supplier, we can't control the inks that our customers use, but we can recommend using high - quality, non - toxic inks. There are many ink manufacturers out there that offer eco - friendly, non - toxic sublimation inks. These inks are formulated to be safe for both the environment and the end - users.

Let's talk about some of the applications of our 60gsm Jumbo Roll Sublimation Paper. It's commonly used in the textile industry to print on polyester fabrics. This includes things like sportswear, swimwear, and home decor items. When the paper is used in these applications, the heat transfer process ensures that the ink bonds with the fabric fibers, and there's very little chance of any toxic substances being released. The final printed fabric is safe to wear and use in daily life.

Our paper is also used in printing on coated metals, like aluminum panels. These panels can be used for signage, promotional items, and even in some industrial applications. Again, the heat transfer process is designed to be efficient and safe. Once the printing is done, the coated metal panels are stable and don't pose any toxicity risks.

Now, I know some of you might be thinking, "What about the waste? Is the used sublimation paper toxic?" Well, our 60gsm Jumbo Roll Sublimation Paper is designed to be as environmentally friendly as possible. After the heat transfer process, the paper can usually be recycled just like regular paper. Since the base paper is made from natural wood pulp and the coating is non - toxic, it can be broken down and reused in the paper - making process.

If you're in the market for sublimation paper, you might also be interested in our 70gsm Jumbo Roll Sublimation Paper. It has a slightly higher weight, which can be beneficial for some applications where you need a sturdier paper. And we also offer Jumbo Roll Heater Transfer Paper, which is great for different types of heat transfer printing.

In conclusion, our 60gsm Jumbo Roll Sublimation Paper is non - toxic. We've taken every possible step to ensure that it's safe for both the environment and our customers. From using natural base materials to formulating a non - toxic coating and conducting regular safety tests, we're committed to providing a high - quality, safe product.
