Polymers used for laser welding must allow a minimum 20 percent transmission rate for laser energy.
In addition, laser absorption can be controlled by adjusting the type of pigments.

The materials were also
suitable for laser welding and marking, and pad and
inkjet printing for marking the parts’ descriptions.

Avient's New Edgetek™ Materials Optimize Weld Strength, Flame Retardance and Aesthetics for Laser Welded Applications
The quality of the laser plastic welding process hinges on how transmissive or absorptive the components are to laser energy.
These new Edgetek polycarbonate laser welding formulations include four grades that meet the critical requirements of transmission rate and accommodate suitable pigments and flame retardants that enhance laser absorption without compromising the mechanical performance of weld joints.
