ENTHONE M-9-N WITH CATALYST B-3 BI-PAKS
Enthone M-9-N with Catalyst B-3 is a black permanent, two component, epoxy-based marking ink.
When properly applied and air cured, M-Series inks have excellent adhesion to glass, metal and thermosetting
plastics. They have excellent chemical and thermal resistance properties. M-Series marking inks are
used in the electronic, aerospace, automotive, appliance and decorative packaging industries. Uses include
the permanent marking of semiconductor components, printed circuit boards, connectors,
dials, nameplates, panels, chassis, glass and thermoplastics.
Meets: CID A-A-56032D Types I, II & III
Certified to MIL-I-43553 and AA56032.
Characteristics: Superior adhesion to epoxy, glass, metal or other nonporous surfaces designed for rubber stamping or offset printing.
