V4238 is a heat-curable black MEK/methanol ink qualified for use in the Videojet 1580 and 1860 continuous inkjet (CIJ) printers. This high-performance ink has been specifically designed for coding and marking applications in the automotive and aerospace markets. It has excellent abrasion and solvent resistance when heat cured, meeting Mil-Spec 202G, Method 215K durability requirements.
Benefits of V4238-D and V4238-L
- Resistant to acids, bases, Mil Spec Solvent C, mineral spirits, and oils
- Pasteurization resistant
- Heat curing at 175 ºC (350 ºF) for 30 minutes achieves durability, including:
- Resistance to Mil-Spec 202G, Method 215K solvents
- Resistance to many other solvents, including: acetone, MEK, transmission fluid, gasoline, diesel fuel, ethanol, isopropanol (IPA), and others
- Rub, scratch, tape, and transfer resistance
Applications for V4238-D and V4238-L
This ink is used for coding and marking metal parts which go through a heat curing process after printing and require a permanent code. It is also used for coding cans that require retort and transfer resistance.
V4238 delivers excellent adhesion to a wide variety of substrates including: acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), aluminum, glass, polystyrene, polycarbonate, polyester, steel, and nylon.
