Plastics additive allows low-power CO2 marking
Sherwood Technology is claiming a breakthrough development in achieving the satisfactory marking of plastics using low power CO2 lasers.
Colour-change solution on show in Chicago
Colour-change specialist Sherwood Technology will be making its debut at Pack Expo 2004, McCormick Place, Chicago.
The presentation entitled "Secure laser marking using DataLase processes" is available free-of-charge direct from DataLase.
The new presentation provides a comprehensive insight into the DataLase process, unique product range and applications.
The DataLase process is a powerful technique capable of producing high quality, tamper resistant images easily and cost-effectively.
This novel, patented technology begins by applying a special laser responsive coating onto a substrate.
A computer controlled beam of very low power CO2 laser light then images the substrate.
The image appears as the coating undergoes a white-to-black colour change reaction where the laser light strikes.
Most commercial substrate conversion processes can be used to apply DataLase coatings including gravure, flexographic, screen, pad, offset and even spray.
The new presentation contains examples for security and anticounterfeiting solutions for: laminated pharmaceutical labels; passport, ID and security cards; cigarette carton security; and tablet coatings.
DataLase products are of interest for a wide range of different anti-counterfeiting applications.
The applications demonstrated in the presentation include bar codes and graphics on laminated pharmaceutical labels, traceability codes for cigarette carton security, laser imaging within small plastic components, encapsulated imaging on packaging and microprinting on passports, ID cards and security documents.
