Tire & Rubber Ink – NEW

Striping Inks

Our line of striping inks, available in both water-based and solvent-based formulations, is designed for coding and identification applications and is easily detected by vision systems.

Available in high-viscosity, mid-viscosity, and low-viscosity chemistries, these inks include both high-adhesion curable inks and external non-curable inks.

Striping inks can be applied to uncured treads, tubes, and hoses using a gravity or pressure-fed Beugler Wheel System, syringe, or capillary tube system.

Benefits:

• Wide range of colors available
• Excellent adhesion to rubber
• Does not foul or transfer to the mold
• Easy to use and implement
• HAPS-free

Marking Inks

We offer a wide range of marking inks, including water-based inks for defect and bead marking, solvent-based stamping inks, contact inks, and jet printing inks available in both water- and solvent-based formulations. These marking inks can be used for harmonic and conicity markings during tire uniformity testing, coding and identifying uncured bead rings, inventory recording and labeling, and alphanumeric identification.

Benefits:

• Wide range of vibrant colors available
• Excellent adhesion
• Fast drying on hot surfaces
• Easy application

Inspection Markers

APV Inspection Markers, or Dot Markers, are used to denote high point and pass/fail marks during the uniformity inspection stage of tire production. Dot Markers are offered in water and solvent-based formulas and are available in three sizes for small, standard, and extra-large diameter dots. Dot Markers may be applied by hand or automatically applied using a balancing or uniformity machine.

Benefits:

• Variety of colors available
• Pocket-sized
• Easy to use
• Aids with synchronization and process verification
• Removable with water

Industrial Crayons

A trusted and widely used tool in tire manufacturing, industrial crayons are essential throughout multiple stages of the production process, including marking raw material bales, fabric cord calendering, tread and sidewall extrusion, tire building, and more. Their reliable performance on a variety of surfaces makes them ideal for marking and identification tasks.

Benefits:

• Wide range of colors available
• Excellent adhesion
• Safe for internal or external use
• Does not cause delamination
• Easy to use
• VOC-free

Decals & Graphics

Stencil Ink is used to enhance race tire sidewalls, hoses, golf grips, and other cured rubber product surfaces requiring a logo or brand name. Specifically formulated for cured rubber compounds, Stencil Ink can be easily applied with HVLP or conventional spray equipment.

Our screen-printed decals are widely used in tire production. As an alternative to spraying, these screen-printed decals are cast onto Mylar sheets and applied to cured rubber surfaces using a post-cure heat transfer method (time, temperature, and pressure). The result is a high-resolution, long-lasting decal that provides excellent brand recognition.

Benefits:

• Easy to apply
• Sharp and crisp letters/images
• Abrasion and scuff-resistant
• Brand Identification
• Color retention
• No bleed-through
• High resolution
• Adheres to many substrates
