Inks for Hot Rotogravure Printing
Inks for hot rotogravure printing produced by FARBWERKE HERKULA SA/AG suitable for use on most types of insulation: PVC, PE, XLPE, PP, PA, EVA, EPDM, PU.
Marcablo marker inks developed specifically for gravure printing are solvent-based and suitable for all printers on the market.
This printing technique is also known as Gravure Wheel Printing or Direct High-Speed-Printing and makes it possible to print letters, numbers or any kind of symbol by means of the gravure wheel (gravure wheel) that takes ink from the reservoir and applies it to the substrate.
The 17214 series is available in all international color shades, e.g., according to RAL scale, IEC 304 and also metallic shades.
Upon request, the laboratory can develop a series of tailor-made inks, e.g., for new substrates, new color shades, or different line speeds.
Description and Application
FARBWERKE HERKULA SA/AG's Marcablo 17214 series inks are suitable for gravure wheel (gravure wheel) application and are characterized by excellent adhesion on critical substrates, sharp printing, and high production speed.
For optimum printing results, marking should be done on a substrate with a temperature around 100 °C, such as after the extruder.
In case of cold substrate and reduced speed, we have an alternative series, 17227, available.
In case, on the other hand, of hot substrate and reduced speed, we have available the alternative series 17217.
In the case of PE and PP substrates, surface oxidation by corona pretreatment is necessary to obtain good adhesions.
In addition, the 17214 series is suitable for line speeds between 500 m/min and 1200 m/min.
Chemical and Mechanical Properties
Our product shows resistance to “bleeding” and no influence on the electrical characteristics of the cable.
The pigments are free of lead and other heavy metals.
Most inks from FARBWERKE HERKULA SA/AG for gravure printing have a shelf-life of 2 years, except for some colors and special series.
In addition, 17214 series inks are ready-to-use, as they already contain the required amount of thinner.
Thinner 17288 is used to adjust the viscosity in the machine.
