HIGH HEAT RESISTANT INK SOUGHT

WE ARE A MANUFACTURER OF HIGH INTENSITY HEATING SYSTEMS. ON OUR TUBE HEATER LINE, WE NEED TO MARK IDENTIFICATIONS FOR the PROPER CONNECTIONS OF THE TUBES IN THE FIELD. WE NEED A HIGH TEMPERATURE RESISTANT INK THAT WE CAN APPLY WITH A RUBBER STAMP. IT SHOULD BE A WATER BASED PRODUCT. IT WILL NEED TO WITHSTAND 350 - 850 F. THE COLORS OF THE TUBES ARE BOTH BLACK AS WELL AS SILVER AND THEREFORE, THE INK MUST STANDOUT AT BOTH AMBIENT AS WELL AS AT THE HIGH TEMP RANGE NOTED. COLOR CHANGE AT TEMP IS ACCEPTABLE AS LONG AS THE DIFFERENCE IN COLOR TO THE SUBSTRATE REMAINS VISIBLE.
