APV’s Tire and Rubber Marking Crayons are ideal for industrial applications such as those operating in tire, rubber, hose, and automotive industries. The product has zero VOCs and is typically used to mark rubber surfaces for inspection and identification purposes.
APV offers two types of crayons, Fugitive and Non-Fugitive. The fugitive crayons, also refered to as Ply Markers, are safe for internal use on uncured rubber surfaces such as: calendered material, plies, bead rings, etc. When used in production, Fugitive Crayons do not act as contaminants and will not cause de-lamination. The product is available in extensive color varieties, as well as crayons visible only under ultraviolet light (UV) and that disappear after curing.
Non-Fugitive Crayons, or Tire Crayons, are safe for external use on cured tire and rubber surfaces. This product is also available in extensive color varieties.
Tire and Rubber Marking Crayons are applied by hand and can be purchased in standard, jumbo, or triangular sizes. They are sold by the gross and packaged with 72 crayons per box. Crayons may be purchased labeled or unlabeled.
