ColorMark™ provides high levels of contrast and shading and achieves superior precision on dark plastics that have been historically difficult to mark.
ColorMark
™ offers the ideal solution for adding permanent color logos, intricate designs, serial numbers, QR codes and bar codes for applications such as consumer electronics, automotive interiors, eyewear, housewares, appliances, and accessories.
Ampacet’s unique technology reveals color in black and dark plastic surfaces exposed to laser light. The first of its kind product produces permanent and weather-resistant color marking in six popular colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Custom colors are also available.
Designed for thermal chemical surface reactions, ColorMark formulations are suited for fiber, YAG and vanadate lasers operating at a wavelength of 1060-1070 nm. Formulation chemistries and laser configurations can be customized for desired marking contrast and functionality. ColorMark™ is also available in FDA and NIR-sortable formulations.
