Colorant Chromatics™ UV Laser Marking Technology
Permanent, high contrast marking
Fluoropolymers (FP) are a common choice for high performance wire and cable applications in many industries due to their ability to withstand high heat and corrosive environments. Fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) is a preferred material for cable jacketing or insulation of a conductor, and often needs to be marked.
Colorant Chromatics™ UV Laser Marking technology for FEP allows a permanent and gentle marking of wire and cable surfaces. It provides excellent contrast and ensures integrity of the surface. This proprietary UV laser technology is a good choice for many applications in the wire and cable industry, and is especially suited for aerospace and aviation.
Impact
- Permanent marking with outstanding contrast of 60-80% to meet aerospace industry standards SAE AS4373F and EN-3475-706
- Benign marking will not damage surface of the jacket as compared to infrared (IR) laser marking
- Lasting mark will not peel or scratch off as with traditional printing solutions
- Suitable for aerospace applications such as optical fiber or data transmission cables
