Applications for V499-D

V499 ink is ideal for coding onto personal care products. It can be used as a wetness indicator on absorbent diaper and incontinence products. The ink dissolves completely when exposed to water or water-based fluids.

Secondary applications include marks/codes intended for temporary in-plant batch or lot identification onto trays or batch containers that require very easy removal using a simple water solution. Other similar “removal” inks exist, but they all require water-based caustic or light soap solutions.
