Features & Specifications
OS459 is a ketone-based formula that is ideal for high-speed coding on non-porous surfaces. Developed to mark metal, glass, plastic, and paper packaging, OS459 is optimal for a wide range of industrial printing applications. Invisible, mildly resistant to heat, and non-blushing, OS459 becomes visible when exposed to long-wave ultraviolet light at 365 nm. With a dry time of 1 - 2 seconds, companies across the industrial manufacturing and packaging sphere use OS459 to complete counterfeit deterrence applications.
High-speed canning and bottling lines are particularly well-suited for OS459. The formula’s quick-drying and heat-resistant properties make it ideal for marking containers that are later used by food/beverage packagers. After OS459-marked containers are retorted, pasteurized, or heat processed after filling, their codes remain legible.
OS459 is most frequently used in the following industries:
- Food packaging
- Beverage bottling and canning
- Pharmaceutical production
- Personal care product and cosmetic manufacturing
- Chemical packaging
- Aerospace/automotive production
- Electronic component manufacturing
- Plastic and metal extrusion
