Colorant Chromatics™ UV Laser Marking Technology for FEP With the capacity to withstand high heat and corrosive environments, fluoropolymers have outstanding dielectric properties and continuous service temperatures. Beyond traditional marking, Colorant Chromatics™ UV Laser Marking Technology provides an ability to apply ultraviolet (UV) laser marking to FEP. The unique formulation of Colorant Chromatics UV Laser Marking Technology enables a permanent and gentle marking of the cable surface.

The hose manufacturer decided to explore other material options that would meet requirements such as excellent colorability, good surface appearance, high flow for optimal productivity, and of course, compliance with U.S. In addition to its excellent colorability and high flow, the Versalloy solution possessed a lower specific gravity and resulted in lower scrap rates compared to the competitive TPV, providing the opportunity to reduce system costs.
