UV-Readable Ink

PRODUCT CODE: DH-0525
Inks

APV's line of UV-Readable Ink is used to invisibly mark tires or rubber surfaces, for example, to aid processing/handling of the finished product. This ink dries colorless when applied to extruded rubber, and becomes highly visible as a white fluorescent color when exposed to ultraviolet light (Black-light). It is invisible to the naked eye and co-cures with the tire or rubber part during molding.

Our ink is normally supplied with the same viscosity as our high viscosity striping inks (DH-series and TH-series), and is applied by gravity-feed through a Beugler® striping wheel onto hot tread or rubber material as it leaves the extruder.

APV's UV-Readable Ink can also be adjusted to work in an offset printer to apply alpha/numeric coding for the same purpose or for hand-stamping application.
