NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is at the forefront of supplying essential chemicals that drive innovation in various industries. One such key component is ODB-2, scientifically known as 2-Anilino-6-dibutylamino-3-methylfluoran (CAS: 89331-94-2). This high-purity compound is a cornerstone in the manufacturing of thermal paper, a product ubiquitous in our daily lives, from point-of-sale receipts to shipping labels.

Thermal paper works through a thermochemical reaction. When heat is applied, typically by a thermal printer head, it causes a color former like ODB-2 to react with a color developer. This reaction results in a visible image. The quality and longevity of this image are heavily dependent on the purity and properties of the color former used. ODB-2 is highly valued for its ability to produce crisp, dark black images with excellent background stability, ensuring that printed information remains legible over time. Many manufacturers seek to buy ODB-2 for its proven performance in thermal paper applications.

The production process involves coating a base paper with a mixture containing the color former (ODB-2), a color developer, and a sensitizer. The precise formulation and application of these paper coating chemicals are crucial. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. ensures that their ODB-2 meets stringent quality standards, offering a purity of 99.5% minimum. This level of purity is vital for consistent results and to prevent unwanted side reactions that could degrade image quality or paper stability. Exploring the synthesis of ODB-2 for paper, our commitment is to deliver a product that enhances the performance of the final thermal paper product.

Beyond thermal paper, ODB-2 also finds significant application in carbonless paper. Here, it functions as a main component for black image formulations or as a shading component for other color image formulations. This versatility makes it a valuable chemical for a broad spectrum of the printing and imaging industries. Understanding the carbonless paper black image formulation requires appreciating the role of high-performance color formers like ODB-2. For businesses looking for reliable suppliers of thermal paper color formers, sourcing from a reputable manufacturer like NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. guarantees access to quality-assured materials essential for competitive product offerings.
