Laser marking masterbatches for clear plastics
Gabriel-Chemie (Gumpoldskirchen / Austria; www.gabriel-chemie.com) produces a range of masterbatches with polymer-specific carriers that achieve high marking contrast in transparent and crystal clear plastics through the use of laser marking. The company’s centre for laser additives in Weitnau / Germany is equipped with lamp-pumped and diode-pumped Nd:YAG lasers for the development of formulations and for test marking finished articles.

The laser additive standard masterbatches have been designed for the 1,064 nm wavelength utilised by commonly used Nd:YAG lasers and are claimed provide marking that is substantially darker without surface roughness and with increased edge sharpness of marked lines.
The masterbatches are suitable for use across a range of applications including medical products such as containers, syringes, and valves in PP and Topas polymers, laboratory equipment, frames for glasses made of transparent PA 12, food packaging and cover discs for displays made of PC or PS.
