The beam changes the molecular structure of the additive, causing a color change that results in a permanent marking. Sourcing the additive as a masterbatch, often bundled with colorant, makes it easier to add to your production process. With that in mind, here are a few caveats to remember during your search for laser marking masterbatches:

Colorants & Additives for Electrical & Electronic Applications IEC 60695-2, known as the Glow Wire test, and UL 94 are established standards in the Electrical & Electronics industry that ensure plastic parts in electrical and electronic components have been tested for fire resistance in support of safer consumer products.
