Applications for V516-D
V516 is ideal for metal cans and plastic/foil pouches of food that require a retort process including vegetables, fruit, soup, sauces, baby food, meat/fish, and ready-to-eat meals. During the cooking process, containers can get stacked, causing codes to come in contact with other containers. During those situations, this ink is transfer-resistant.
This ink delivers excellent adhesion to a wide variety of other substrates including acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polystyrene, polyvinylchloride (PVC), polycarbonate, polyester, steel, and nylon.
MEK-Free Low VOC (V930) and MEK-Free Drug Precursor Free (V940) alternative cleaners are available.
