IPA-Resistant CIJ Ink for  Industrial Printing

High-Performance CIJ Ink with Alcohol Resistance for Demanding Applications

At Cyklop Needham, we continue to innovate in the world of industrial inkjet technology with our latest IPA-resistant MEK-based CIJ ink—developed in-house to deliver exceptional solvent resistance, substrate adhesion, and durability across a range of industries.

Designed for challenging environments where alcohol exposure is common, this high-performance ink is ideal for use in coding and marking applications on plastic, metal, glass, and other non-porous substrates.

What Makes This CIJ Ink Stand Out?

Our new MEK-based CIJ ink is engineered for enhanced resistance to isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and other solvent cleaning agents like ethanol—making it especially well-suited for environments where components are wiped or cleaned post-marking.

✅ Key Benefits:

• High resistance to IPA and denatured ethanol

• Methanol-free formulation for safer use

• Strong abrasion and rub resistance

• Excellent adhesion to glass, metal, plastic, PVC, and more

• Resistant to lubricants, oils, and soaps

Each batch is strictly quality-tested to meet our performance standards, ensuring print consistency and printer uptime.

Ideal Use Cases for IPA-Resistant Inks

This ink is purpose-built for industries where post-print cleaning or solvent exposure is frequent, including:

🖥️ Electronics

• Connector housings

• Injection-moulded plastic parts

• Circuit board components

• Extruded plastics

🧴 Cosmetics & Pharmaceuticals

• Tubes, pouches, and caps

• Cleanroom-compatible packaging

• Medical-grade plastics

🏭 Industrial & Automotive

• Metal housings and enclosures

• Cables, wires, and rigid packaging

• Parts exposed to lubricants or mechanical cleaning

🍬 Food & Tobacco Packaging

• Coated flexible films

• Laminated foils

• Plastic pouches

This ink maintains mark legibility even after contact with cleaning solvents, mechanical abrasion, or packaging line friction—making it ideal for regulatory coding, batch tracking, and product identification.

Compatible with Most CIJ Printers

The IPA-resistant ink can be custom-reformulated for use in any CIJ printer platform, allowing businesses to take advantage of this performance ink without needing to switch equipment.

Our in-house R&D team can assist with formulation matching to OEM systems while maintaining superior adhesion, durability, and cost-efficiency.
