Ply markers and crayons have zero VOCs and are typically used to mark rubber surfaces for inspection and identification.
Ply markers, also known as fugitive crayons, are a valuable tool for marking uncured rubber surfaces such as calendered material, plies, and bead rings. The product does not act as a contaminant and will not cause delamination. Ply markers are available in standard, jumbo and triangular sizes and can be applied manually or by machine.
Crayons, also known as non-fugitive markers, are a valuable tool for marking cured (external) rubber surfaces. Available in a variety of colors, crayons are available in standard, jumbo and triangular sizes.
Ply markers and crayons are sold by the gross and packaged with 72 crayons per box. Products may be purchased labeled or unlabeled.
Other Uses and Applications:
Crayons can also be used for other unique applications including those that require marking on wet or dry surfaces as well as glass.
*The shelf life of ply markers or crayons relies almost entirely upon the proper storage of the stock. These identification markers are highly perishable when stored at temperature extremes. If stored in a cool, dry, area between 10-24°C, (50-75°F) the shelf life can be extended up to 5 years.
Defect Marking Inks are used throughout the tire manufacturing process to denote high point, conicity, pass/fail marks and more on internal and external rubber components.
Bead Marking Inks are applied to uncured bead rings during the assembly process for coding and identification purposes.
Jet Printing Ink is engineered specifically for the REA JET® Large Character Ink Jet Printer System. The ink is used for alpha-numeric identification and inventory labeling of rubber components.

Available in water-based (T-series) or solvent-based (D-series), dot markers are typically used in tire manufacturing to denote high point, conicity, and pass/fail marks.
APV's UV marking crayon (C-0303) is specifically designed to mark a rubber surface with a mark that is visible only under UV identification and inspection cameras. This crayon fluoresces under 365 nm ultraviolet light, making it a valuable tool for identification and quality control procedures in rubber manufacturing.
APV’s Disappearing Crayon (C-0300) is specifically designed to visibly mark uncured rubber surfaces to denote problem areas. The markings go away after the rubber is cured.
