DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., Oct. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Markem-Imaje, part of Dover (NYSE: DOV) and a global provider of end-to-end supply chain solutions and industrial marking and coding systems, today announced the launch of its white MW2440 ink tailored for difficult-to-code polyethylene (PE) cables, including those made from low-smoke, zero halogen materials (LSZH, HFFR, NHFR, LSOH). This new ink helps manufacturers to better ensure high-quality, durable, and environmentally safe markings.
Markem-Imaje has taken steps to respond to consumers' increasing demands for safety by developing a solution designed to excel at printing high-visibility, white codes on PE substrates. The MW2440 white MEK ink stands out with its exceptional performance and superior printing quality, offering numerous advantages for extrusion manufacturers:
- High Adhesion: Helps ensure robust printing on a variety of PE substrates, including PE, LSZH, HFFR, NHFR, and LSOH, without necessitating post or pre-treatment.
- Enhanced Durability: Offers remarkable resistance to bending, maintaining print quality and readability by eliminating transfer when cables are rolled and stored.
- Environmental Resistance: Stands up against fluids (e.g., water, ethanol), UV light and temperature variations, supporting longevity and sustainability of the printed codes.
- High Contrast Printing: Achieves ultra-contrasted white code with more perfect dot definition, supporting barcode, data matrix and QR code prints with a B or higher grade for impeccable scanning and tracking.
- Safety: Halogen-free formula significantly contributes to reducing toxic fumes in the event of a fire, aligning with environmental and safety regulations.
The development of the MW2440 ink reflects Markem-Imaje's continued commitment to innovation. Designed to address the challenges of printing on low-smoke, zero halogen materials, this ink is a testament to the Company's dedication to the continuous enhancement of product safety and environmental responsibility.
"We are thrilled to introduce the white MW2440 ink to the market. This solution demonstrates our commitment to innovation and quality and reinforces our ongoing dedication to safe, environmentally-friendly materials," said Pauline Mouillet, Product Marketing Manager at Markem-Imaje.
The white MW2440 ink is now available for all Markem-Imaje 9750+ coder models and ready to transform extrusion manufacturing processes.
