AXR®EL has been specially designed to meet ARMOR’s high-quality standards, offering optimum durability in line with the highly specific demands of electronic products, particularly printed circuit boards

• Ribbon developed exclusively for the electronics industry
• Resistant to circuit board soldering and cleaning processes
• Print sharpness for small barcodes

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.

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.

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