The stabilizer prevents the adhesive backing from softening and decomposing, thus affecting heat resistance. The release layer primarily functions to improve transfer precision, abrasion resistance, and alcohol resistance. EVA resin has excellent film-forming properties, and the second filler provides smoothness and abrasion resistance, further improving abrasion resistance. The protective layer primarily functions to improve the product's alcohol resistance. The acrylic resin is preferably a high-Tg, high-molecular-weight resin, which improves the ribbon's alcohol resistance and abrasion resistance. The carbon black is preferably a carbon black with strong adhesion to acrylic resin and strong color development ability. The main function of the color-developing adhesive layer is to improve the product's adhesion and color density (OD value).

[0041] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0042] 1) In this invention, due to its unique pigment system, the uniformity of the ink system is ensured by silicon dioxide, providing good coating conditions, and a series of viscoelastic resins are used to ensure the adhesion of the ink, improve the internal surface tension, ensure the smoothness of the coating surface and the glossy black characteristics of the coating surface, and the high molecular weight and high glass transition temperature of the resin in it ensure its alcohol resistance and abrasion resistance.

[0043] 2) The heat transfer ribbon provided by this invention has the advantages of strong versatility, good abrasion resistance, and applicability to PE heat shrink tubing produced by different manufacturers.

[0044] 3) Through a special ink formula, the carbon ribbon of this invention can achieve high-quality information recording, meeting various information recording needs of PE heat shrink tubing.

7. The preparation process of the heat transfer material for information recording on PE heat shrink tubing according to any one of claims 1 to 6, characterized in that, Includes the following steps: S1. Preparation of the heat-resistant layer S11. Under conditions of 55-65℃, a certain amount of the first solvent is kept in a reaction vessel for 1-2 hours to dissolve the acrylic modified silicone resin, polyester resin or polyurethane weighed in proportion, with a solid content of 10%. S12. After cooling to room temperature, add the first filler weighed in proportion and stir at 700-800 rpm for 20-30 minutes. S13 is then diluted with the first solvent to a solid content of 5% and coated onto a PET film with a thickness of 5-7μm. During coating, a ceramic anilox roller with a precision of 300-400 lines is used on the first coating head of a gravure coating machine. The coating speed is 60-100m / min, the drying temperature is 60-100℃, and the drying time is 8-13s to obtain the first composite film. S2. Preparation of the release layer S21. Under conditions of 55-65℃, the first solvent weighed in proportion is kept in the reaction vessel for 1-2 hours to dissolve the EVA resin weighed in proportion until it is clear and transparent, with a solid content of 20%. S22. After cooling to room temperature, add the second filler weighed in proportion, and grind it with a sand mill at a rate of 5 kg / min for 3-5 times to make the average particle size of the material between 0.8-1 μm, and obtain an ink liquid with a viscosity between 30-50 cp. S23. When coating, a ceramic anilox roller with a precision of 250-350 lines is used to coat the side of the first composite film away from the heat-resistant layer on the second coating head of the gravure coating machine. The coating speed is 60-100m / min, the drying temperature is 80-100℃, and the drying time is 4-8s to obtain the second composite film. S3. Preparation of the protective layer S31. Under conditions of 55-65℃, keep the second solvent weighed in proportion in the reaction vessel for 1-2 hours to dissolve the acrylic resin weighed in proportion until it is clear and transparent, with a solid content of 10-15%; S32. After cooling to room temperature, add the third filler weighed in proportion, and grind it with a sand mill at a rate of 5 kg / min for 3-5 passes to make the average particle size of the material between 0.8-1.2 μm. S33. During coating, a ceramic anilox roller with a precision of 120-150 lines is used to coat the release layer of the second composite film on the third coating head of the gravure coating machine. The coating speed is 60-100m / min, the drying temperature is 80-100℃, and the drying time is 7-10s to obtain the third composite film. S4. Preparation of the colorimetric adhesive layer S41. Weigh the third solvent according to the proportion, add it to the mixing vessel equipped with a heating diaphragm and a stirring device, and start stirring; S42. Add the weighed resin system to the dissolving vessel, turn on the heating, and control the temperature at 50-60℃ until it is completely dissolved and transparent. S43. After the material in the refrigeration vessel is cooled to room temperature, the pigment system and dispersant are added in proportion and stirred evenly. Then, the mixture is transferred to a horizontal sand mill and ground at a grinding speed of 5-10 kg / min. After grinding, the heat transfer ink for recording information on PE heat shrink tubing is obtained. The heat transfer ink has a solid content of 30-32% and an average particle size of 1.5-1.6 μm. It is considered qualified if there is no sediment at the bottom of the material bucket after standing for 30 minutes. S44. During coating, a ceramic anilox roller with a precision of 300-400 lines is used to coat the protective layer of the third composite film on the fourth coating head of the gravure coating machine. The coating speed is 60-100 m / min, the drying temperature is 80-100℃, and the drying time is 8-13 s, thus obtaining the heat transfer material for information recording of the PE heat shrink tubing.
