Polymers are an indispensable part of modern life. Polymeric materials are ubiquitous, and functional pigments play an important role in these. Printing on polymer surfaces is a common technology, but when a permanent, indestructible mark is required, then there is no better option than laser marking. Keeling & Walker´s Irasorb additives help to create the marks on polymers which are otherwise difficult to mark with laser light. Keeling & Walker also offers products for the laser direct structuring (LDS) process, which allows the generation of electronic circuitry directly onto 3-dimensional polymer parts. The process is an important technology to enable further miniaturisation of electronic components and parts.
