AVIENT CORPORATION Fluoropolymers such as FEP are capable of withstanding high heat and corrosive environments while also having outstanding dielectric properties and continuous service temperatures. This makes them a common choice for wire and cable aerospace applications. Today, the industry is focused on miniaturization, resulting in the use of smaller, thinner wires. But laser marking on thinner wire surfaces presents challenges. For example, traditional printing technologies can lead to the mark peeling off or surface damage can result from the use of infrared (IR) laser marking.
The new Colorant Chromatics UV Laser Marking technology enables permanent laser marking with very minimal impact to the thinner wire surfaces. In addition, the unique formulation offers excellent processing thanks to reduced lump formation.
'Our history of providing high-performance solutions is demonstrated through our robust portfolio of fluoropolymer color concentrates and high-temperature formulations,' said
Colorant Chromatics UV Laser Marking technology can allow for a permanent, yet benign, mark on the FEP surface that achieves a 60-80% contrast, meeting aerospace industry standards SAE AS4373F and EN-3475-706. This technology is offered for colors specified by the aeronautics industry, including light red, green, violet, blue, white and gray.
