DYKEM
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about DYKEM from 3G Electric.
What are the specifications of DYKEM torque marking pastes?
DYKEM torque marking pastes are available in orange and meet BMS8-45H Type I/III specifications. Some formulations are also compliant with Embraer MEP 09-096 Rev. G. Dry times vary: the aerospace torque marking paste (MPN 83314) dries in less than 1 hour, while another version (MPN 83514) dries in 60 seconds. These pastes are used to visually verify fastener torque integrity and provide tamper indication. They are suitable for aerospace maintenance and other applications where torque verification is required. The pastes are supplied in various package sizes, and 3G Electric provides detailed specifications for each SKU.
What colors and tip sizes are available for DYKEM detergent-removable ink markers?
DYKEM detergent-removable ink markers come in red, white, black, green, and blue. Most have a 1.3 mm bullet tip (MPNs 44939, 44146, 44985, 44371, 44938), while one blue marker (MPN 91938) has a 1/2 inch tip width. The ink dries in 25 to 35 seconds for the 1.3 mm tip versions, and less than one minute for the 1/2 inch tip version. These markers are designed for temporary marking on metal, glass, and plastic surfaces, and the ink can be removed with detergent. 3G Electric stocks these markers and provides full specifications for each color and tip size.
How do DYKEM detergent-removable markers differ from permanent markers?
DYKEM detergent-removable markers use an ink formulation that can be washed off with detergent, whereas permanent markers are designed to leave a lasting mark that resists removal. The detergent-removable markers are intended for temporary identification during manufacturing, assembly, or quality control, where marks must be removed without solvents or abrasives. They dry quickly (25 to 35 seconds for 1.3 mm tip versions) and work on metal, glass, and plastic. This makes them suitable for processes where parts need to be marked and then cleaned. 3G Electric supplies these markers for applications requiring temporary marking.
What is the dry time for DYKEM torque marking paste MPN 83514?
DYKEM torque marking paste MPN 83514 has a dry time of 60 seconds. This fast dry time allows for quick visual verification of fastener torque. The paste is orange and meets BMS8-45H Type I/III specifications, as well as Embraer MEP 09-096 Rev. G. It is used to indicate that a fastener has been torqued to specification and to provide tamper evidence. 3G Electric offers this product with detailed specifications and global shipping.
Are DYKEM markers suitable for use on plastic surfaces?
Yes, DYKEM detergent-removable ink markers are designed for temporary marking on metal, glass, and plastic surfaces. The ink adheres to these substrates and can be removed with detergent. The markers are available in multiple colors and tip sizes to suit different surface conditions and visibility requirements. For plastic surfaces, the detergent-removable feature allows marks to be cleaned without damaging the material. 3G Electric supplies these markers for industrial and manufacturing applications where temporary marking on plastics is needed.
What standards do DYKEM torque marking pastes meet?
DYKEM torque marking pastes meet BMS8-45H Type I/III specifications. Some formulations are also compliant with Embraer MEP 09-096 Rev. G. These standards specify requirements for torque marking compounds used in aerospace and other critical applications. The pastes are formulated to provide a clear visual indication of torque status and to adhere to fasteners. 3G Electric provides these products with documentation of their compliance, allowing buyers to verify suitability for their specific requirements.
