With over 20 years of continuous presence
and after several recent major machine
installations in the USA, the Interwire 2013
show is an opportunity for the Gauder
Group, Inc to highlight the joint rebranding
of its Pourtier and SETIC product range
as a combined entity, Pourtier & SETIC of
America.
Based in France, both are leaders in rotating
machines for the non-ferrous wire and cable
industry. Gauder Group, Inc develops its
support and parts services (including high
technology bows) to the North American
market from Greensboro, North Carolina.

Marking the surface of fluoropolymers is
a challenge. Typically a contact wheel
has been used to place information such
as manufacturer or specification on the
surface. While effective, this technique
limits variable information. During 2012,
Gem chemists developed two ink jet inks
for these materials.
BKG7761 Black and GNG7765 Green
are designed for use on fluoropolymers
in continuous manufacturing processes.
Codes are applied prior to sintering ovens,
and heat exposure is required to complete
adhesion to the jacket surface. Common
industrial fluoropolymers used in industry
include PTFE, FEP and ETFE.
The newly formulated inkjet inks show
adhesion that is comparable to the
traditional gravure inks. After processing,
codes survive MIL-W-227598 adhesion
testing. A sewing needle with a diameter
of 0.025" is pulled back and forth over the
code for 60 cycles.
The length of the stroke is 3/8". A small
weight of 500g is attached to the top of
the apparatus to hold the needle in place.
125 cycles should be performed; passing
codes remain legible after this test. Results
may vary with manufacturing and surface
conditions, and customer testing is required
to confirm performance.
