Applications for V4237-D and V4237-L

This ink is used for coding and marking metal cans and plastic/foil pouches with 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.

V4237 delivers excellent adhesion to a wide variety of other substrates including: acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polystyrene, polyvinylchloride (PVC), polycarbonate, polyester, steel, and nylon.

No MEK/Low VOC (V930) and no Drug Precursor (V940) cleaners are available.

iQMark™: V4237 ink was responsibly designed and manufactured to maximize contrast, adhesion, and uptime while meeting safety, environmental, and regulatory requirements. Every batch is tested to ensure it meets strict quality control specifications.
