UV Dot Inks
Solvent-Based UV-Readable Inks for Industrial Coding with Nordson I.D. Check
Our UV Dot Inks are specially developed for use with the Nordson I.D. Check System, delivering precise, high-speed coding that’s invisible to the naked eye but instantly readable under UV (ultraviolet) inspection. These solvent-based inks are designed to dry rapidly on a variety of substrates without the need for UV curing, making them ideal for discreet, secure marking in packaging, traceability, and compliance applications.

Reliable, sharp dot formation for consistent code recognition

Key Benefits of UV Dot Inks
-
Stealth Coding: Marks remain invisible to consumers but fully traceable in controlled environments
-
High Adhesion: Effective on plastics (PET, HDPE), coated cartons, metals, and glass
-
Quick Drying: No UV curing required — dries rapidly on contact for high-speed lines
-
Excellent Optical Clarity: Optimised for UV camera detection and machine readability
-
Reduced Downtime: Formulated to minimise clogging, ideal for continuous production

FAQs
-
Are these UV inks invisible to the naked eye?
Yes. These are UV-readable inks designed to be invisible under normal lighting conditions and visible under UV light.
-
Do I need UV lamps to cure the ink?
No. These are solvent-based inks that dry without the need for UV curing. UV is only required for visual inspection.
-
Can these inks be used on high-speed lines?
Absolutely. They're designed for fast drying and stable performance, even under continuous, high-output conditions.
