About Transparent Inks
Transparent solvent based inks have various dry times, including 10 seconds to 15 minutes depending on your needs. Fluorescent enhanced dye type inks are also available in a limited number of colors.
Applications
Dye type inks are noted for their non-settling and non-plugging characteristics and are often useful in marking applications with low “through-put” such as reject marking. Dye types are excellent on light colored or bright metal surfaces. Carco marking inks are available in eight transparent colors and various dry times.
Please note that these are representative colors. The final appearance on your part will vary with formula, application method, and substrate.
| 1044 | A super fast drying non-settling acetone based dye type marking fluid primarily used in non-contact marking systems. Often used in combination with eddy current, NDT and Ultrasonic equipment when one wishes to visibly identify defects on very fast moving webs, tubing or parts. Dry time on part +/- 10 seconds. |
| 1000-I | A fast dry non-settling dye type marking fluid with excellent oil penetration and adhesion on all porous and non-porous surfaces. Generally used in Carco "jet shot" and spray system applications. Also used with the Carco ES-712-A Spring Marker. Dry time on part ranges anywhere from 25 seconds to 1 minute depending on the application. |
| 1000-N | A medium fast dry non-settling dye type marking fluid. The 1000-N has excellent oil penetration and adhesion on a variety of porous and non-porous surfaces and is often used in Carco "jet shot" and spray system applications. Also used with the Carco ES-712-A Spring Marker. Dry time on part about 2-3 minutes. |
| 1000-HF | A high flash, slow dry non-settling dye type marking fluid primarily use where flammability and safety are primary considerations. The 1000-HF series is used with all Carco Spring/Contact marking systems. Dry time on part being marked about 15+ minutes. |
| 1000-I Fluorescent | A fast dry solvent based "invisible" marking fluid activated by 366 nm ultraviolet light. Other versions of the 1000-I Series are available in a variety of dry times Fluorescent enhanced dye type (visible) inks are also available in a limited number of additional colors. The marking fluid is designed for automatic luminescent or U.V activated applications. |
