Description and Application
Marcablo 17202 series inks from FARBWERKE HERKULA SA/AG, are suitable for application by disc-marker or spray jet.
For optimum printing results, marking should be done on a substrate with a temperature around 100 °C, e.g., after the extruder.
In case of a cold or warm substrate, we have an alternative series, 17212, available.
In the case of PE and PP substrates, surface oxidation by corona pretreatment is necessary to obtain good adhesions.
In addition, the 17202 series is suitable for line speeds between 300 m/min and 1500 m/min.
Chemical and Mechanical Properties
Our product shows resistance to “bleeding” and no influence on the electrical characteristics of the cable.

All inks of FARBWERKE HERKULA SA/AG for ringing have a shelf-life of 2 years.
In addition, the 17202 series inks are ready-to-use, as they already contain the required amount of thinner.
