Ultra-Violet (UV) Readable Marking Ink is usually gravity-fed through a Beugler striping wheel onto uncured rubber such as tire tread or rubber hose. The ink is not visible when dry or cured, but it becomes visible under UV light/blacklight as a white line. For example, UV readers could detect tires on a conveyor belt marked with this ink and direct then a different route to those unmarked tires. Variations of this ink also could be produced for application through offset/direct printers to the substrate.
