Alcohol-resistant ink
September 1st 2008 Linx Printing Technologies
believes the benefits of its
Black alcohol-resistant ink
1075 will prove invaluable
to manufacturers who mark
parts for aerospace and
military applications.
The ink has been
designed to be resistant to
many chemicals commonly
used in the aerospace
industry, throughout the
production process or
during the aircraft's life, such
as fuel, defluxing agents
and alcohol-based de-icers.
The ink has fast drying
properties, and its strong
light-fastness is said to
deliver long-term code
clarity without fading. The
ink adheres to various
materials, ensuring a
legible code, even on
difficult-to-code materials.
It enables parts makers
to use Continuous Ink Jet
printing in place of more
permanent methods.
A manufacturer in Japan
uses the ink for the coding
of processed aluminium
parts for a major aerospace
customer. The ink runs in
conjunction with a Linx 4900
CIJ printer to place a single
line alpha-numeric code
onto parts. The printer
operates at 5m/min and
codes 5000 products/week. More articles from Linx Printing Technologies Ltd: |
