Laser marking of plastics<\/h1>\n

PeroLaB\u00ae<\/sup> as an additive for laser marking<\/h2>\n

\n\t

Precise and permanent laser marking on plastic, glass, wood or metal is one of the most efficient, flexible, fast, environmentally friendly and material-friendly methods on the market today. Laser marking of plastics requires sufficient absorption of the laser beam by the material. The surface of the material is either foamed, carbonized, discoloured, bleached or ablated.<\/p>\n

However, it is often necessary to develop a special plastic composition so that the surface can be marked by laser.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The challenge on the market<\/h4>\n

In order to achieve high legibility and marking quality on certain plastics and to be able to mark materials that are difficult or impossible to mark at a high speed, a customized development of the plastic composition is necessary depending on the application.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

The solution with PeroLaB\u00ae<\/sup><\/h4>\n

PeroLaB\u00ae<\/sup>, as a laser marking additive, quickly and effectively converts the incoming laser radiation into heat so that material surfaces can be structured and marked with high quality. The photo shows a nutrient table on a PMMA sheet that was lasered using the Trumpf \"TruMark\" system.<\/p>\n

PeroLaB\u00ae<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0can be used for marking almost any plastic, including high-performance plastics such as polyester, PU, POM, PMMA, PE, PVC, PS, PP and PTFE. Due to its broadband absorption in the NIR range (800 \u2013 1200 nm) and in the UV range (280 \u2013 380 nm), PeroLaB\u00ae<\/sup> is suitable for marking processes using solid-state, fiber and UV lasers.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
