APV's Cure Indicator Temperature Sensitive Ink

Cure Indicator Temperature-Sensitive Ink is a solvent-based ink designed to be gravity-fed through a Beugler© striping wheel or offset printer to differing rubber substrates. This produces a continuous ink stripe, of a selected width, onto a hot extruded hose or tube. When the uncured product is wound onto spools to be steam-cured in an autoclave, the red pigment in the ink changes to white to indicate that the marked rubber has reached the desired cure temperature.
