The most suitable coding technique for these products therefore depends greatly on the application involved. Hard synthetics have smooth non-porous surfaces that do not absorb liquids. As a result, the use of non-porous inks such as solvent-based or wax-based inks will be required. Thermal transfer or UV-curable ink can also be used. Finally, the production method of the synthetic material (e.g. injection molding vs. extrusion) is the second determining factor for selecting the best suited coding technique.<\/p>\n<h2>Suitable coding techniques for hard synthetics<\/h2>\n<p>Virtually all non-porous coding techniques are suitable for coding hard synthetics; the application thus directs the coding technique. If clear and scratch-resistant printing is required, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"http:\/\/kortho.com\/en\/coding_solutions\/coding_equipment\/hotprinters\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hotprint<\/a><\/span><\/span> is the best option by far.
