ink for polyurethane
« on: April 18, 2012, 09:51:28 AM »
I had a potential customer in yesterday, looking to get some polyurethane printed. It is a polyether based polyurethane, or so he told me, I'm unfamiliar with it. So, we're looking for an ink that 1) will stick, chemical bond, and 2) be abrasion resistant, due to rough treatment. Any ideas? I know an air dry epoxy would be pretty tough, but I'm concerned about the abrasion resistance...

If anyone can help, it should be Naz Dar. They will even experiment with samples that you send them
But you knew that  ;D

can't say, it has a patent pending. Probably not going to make us rich, but will get the customer up and running at least. It's kind of like the next great t-shirt idea, except it's not a t-shirt or wearable at all. It's a (sound of gunshot)  aaaarrrrrrggggghhhhh!

On that note, as a clay wheel user in the '60's, the Urethane wheels were a huge breakthough!
Did you know that they were born from the kicker wheels in a copier?
