LIFOCOLOR: Pioneer in plastics laser marking additives at MSV 2024 in Brno
Laser marking has established itself in recent years as a fast, accurate and flexible method for marking plastic parts. It is a process in which a high-energy light beam focused on a specific point on the surface of a material causes the polymer to melt and subsequently change colour.
The importance of additives in laser marking
Depending on the type of polymer, it is sometimes possible to achieve high-contrast marking without the use of special additives. LIFOCOLOR specialises, among other things, in the development and production of additives that ensure optimal laser marking results. The "LIFOLAS M" product range is one of the most efficient on the market and is specifically designed to meet the demanding requirements of the modern plastics industry.
Laser marking with LIFOLAS M
Laser marking of plastic parts can be carried out in a variety of ways, including foaming, carbonisation or ablation. Foaming produces a light marking on a dark surface, which is ideal for plastics such as POM and PA. Carbonisation, on the other hand, produces a dark marking on a light surface and is often used for plastics such as PC, PS, PET, ABS and PBT. The ablation process allows the removal of the top coloured layer, exposing the underlying colour of the material, creating the 'day and night' effect known, for example, in illuminated keyboards.
