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 17212 series inks are suitable for disc-marker or spray-jet application.
For optimum printing results, marking should be done on a cold or warm substrate after the extruder.
In case of a hot substrate, we have an alternative series, 17202, available.
With PE and PP substrates, surface oxidation by corona pretreatment is necessary to obtain good adhesions.
In addition, the 17212 series is suitable for line speeds between 0 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.
The pigments are free of lead and other heavy metals.
All inks of FARBWERKE HERKULA SA/AG for ringing have a shelf-life of 2 years.
In addition, the 17212 series inks are ready-to-use, as they already contain the required amount of thinner.
To adjust the viscosity in the machine, thinner 35004 is used, which is toluene-free.
