Combat PVC marking challenges with LEIBINGER’s specialised ink solution
06 November 2024
For manufacturers in the extrusion industry, permanent and high-quality marking on polyvinyl chloride (PVC) materials like cables and pipes, presents a unique challenge.
Traditional inks often struggle to maintain adhesion on soft PVC materials due to the presence of plasticizers – additives that improve flexibility, durability, and workability of polymers, primarily PVC but impact ink adherence. Because of this, markings can degrade over time, fading under environmental stressors like UV light or heat, or transferring onto other surfaces.For industries relying on consistent, clear identification such as automotive, electrical, and construction, this can lead to safety risk, non-compliance to regulation, and additional production costs associated with rework or returned products.
What is the solution?
LEIBINGER has developed a specialised ink that adheres without issue to PVC, resisting plasticizer migration and preventing unwanted transfer prints. With rapid drying and UV stability, this ink ensures durability in high-speed applications, delivering reliability and clarity for industrial operations.
