Designed for medium to high volume plastic marking applications, LMP500 is a specially formulated laser marking ink appropriate for pad printing. The advantages of applying TherMark laser marking ink via pad printing are speed of application, application consistency, and reduced waste.

 

Unlike traditional pad printing, TherMark pad printing ink is not normally applied in the exact mark pattern you wish to apply. Rather, it is applied so as to cover the specific area your mark will occupy. You laser will selectively bond the ink where the beam hits, and then the excess is washed off, like other TherMark laser marking materials. This method enables variable data to be marked while using a single stencil to apply the material.


 

LMP500 was specifically designed for making black permanent marks on nylon, and may be the only known method of making permanent black marks on raw nylon. While LMP500 has not yet been tested on an exhaustive list of plastics, it will work on many other thermo-plastics.

 

If you have a medium to high volume marking application for plastic and would like to discuss pad printing, please contact us to discuss how we can help you integrate a TherMark solution. If your plastic is not one we have previously tested, we will be happy to do some testing on your samples in our applications lab. We are further willing to work with you to develop a custom tailored product for your application, if necessary.
