Ply Marking Crayons
Zero-VOC ply markers and crayons for tire, rubber, hose, and automotive manufacturing inspection and identification.
Bead Marking Inks
Bead Marking Inks are applied to uncured bead rings during the assembly process for coding and identification purposes.
Defect Marking Inks
Defect Marking Inks are used throughout the tire manufacturing process to denote high point, conicity, pass/fail marks and more on internal and external rubber components.
Jet Printing Ink
Jet Printing Ink is engineered specifically for the REA JET® Large Character Ink Jet Printer System. The ink is used for alpha-numeric identification and inventory labeling of rubber components.
Pad Inks
Pad or transfer inks are used to transfer graphics or identification markings to an extensive variety of substrates. Available in solvent-based or water-based chemistries, these inks are applied via offset, transfer wheel, or direct application.
Stamping Inks
Stamping Ink is a white transfer ink used on external surfaces, such as sidewalls, for inventory recording purposes.
Disappearing Crayons
APV’s Disappearing Crayon (C-0300) is specifically designed to visibly mark uncured rubber surfaces to denote problem areas. The markings go away after the rubber is cured.
UV Marking Crayon
APV’s UV marking crayon (C-0303) is specifically designed to mark a rubber surface with a mark that is visible only under UV identification and inspection cameras. This crayon fluoresces under 365 nm ultraviolet light, making it a valuable tool for identification and quality control procedures in rubber manufacturing.
Ply Markers and Crayons
Ply markers and crayons have zero VOCs and are typically used to mark rubber surfaces for inspection and identification. Ply markers, also known as fugitive crayons, are a valuable tool for marking uncured rubber surfaces such as calendered material, plies, and bead rings.
