Applications

PM14/FPM14 in Your Pens
PM14/FPM14 inks are designed for use with valve action markers. In order to avoid a pressure build up, the valve should be activated after assembly by depressing the nib.
Nibs: Polyester, high porosity; Multichem recommends a porosity of around 70% for optimum flow performance.
Barrels: PP, PE, aluminum
Caps: PP. Refer to BS 7272-1:2008 for more details
Once selected the components should be thoroughly tested.
For optimum performance markers should ideally be stored in a horizontal orientation and should be capped securely.

PM14/FPM14 in the Environment
Multichem strives to play its part in the responsible sourcing of raw materials and manufacturing of inks to help protect the environment.

PM14/FPM14 in Your Factory
Multichem PM14/FPM14 inks are guaranteed for 12 months from receipt when stored in the original sealed containers.
Store Multichem inks between 10oC< T < 30oC to avoid ink adverse performance features.

Regulatory & Compliance

Certifications & Compliance
PM14/FPM14 in the Market

Multichem has developed PM14/FPM14 to comply with ASTM D-4236 TRA
Final markers may also require separate approval in order to meet some of the above regulations.
Our inks do not contain any Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC), Benzene, Toluene or Xylene. None of our inks require labeling under Proposition 65 (assuming a maximum reservoir capacity of 12ml). All ingredients of PM14/FPM 14 have been registered / pre-registered under REACh or are exempt from REACh registration.

Storage & Handling

Storage

PM14/FPM14 inks readily settle out during storage. This is completely normal. Prior to usage drums should be stored for at least 24 hours at room temperature (circa 20oC) and then thoroughly agitated until the ink is of a uniform consistency prior to use. Continuous stirring is recommended whilst filling the marker components.
Multichem inks which have passed their shelf life may still be fine to use. To find this out simply follow the guidelines above to obtain a uniform 100g sample of ink, label the ink with the product name and batch number and send it to Multichem for a quality check.
Please remember that PM14/FPM14 inks are flammable liquids so please handle accordingly. For more information please refer to the CLP Material Safety Data Sheet for the  PM14/FPM14 range.
