PRODUCT BULLETIN Silcosperse™ LM Laser Marking Additive Dispersions Silcosperse™ Laser Marking additives are laser absorbing silicone dispersions that use UV, YAG or fiber laser technologies. Silcosperse LM dispersions can also be combined with colorants without affecting the laser marking shade or effect. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Provides laser marking options of silicone materials • Eliminates the needs for etching and embossing • Faster and cleaner than pad printing • High contrast, permanent markings • Mechanical properties of the silicone matrix are maintained • Compatible with various types of lasers • Chemically resistant • Available in pre-colored or natural MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS Silcosperse LM Laser Marking additive dispersions are suitable for a variety of applications within industries such as: • Consumer Goods • Electronics • Healthcare • Industrial • Transportation • Wire & Cable Typical applications and purposes include: • Traceability, UPC bar-coding, branding • Unique Device Identification (UDI), medical device ID’s • Serialization for pharmaceutical packaging • Safety taggants & equipment • Automotive components • Wire & cable part numbers or gauge size www.avient.com Copyright © 2020, Avient Corporation.

THE SOLUTION The Avient team proposed multiple solutions—including a laser-marking additive, an authentication additive, and colorant—bundled into a single Smartbatch™ concentrate. OnCap™ laser-marking additive technology made laser marks more visible and indelible to create an overt signal that more easily identified the manufacturer’s genuine products in a difficult-to-simulate fashion. Avient was able to identify a local supplier of dependable laser-marking equipment, and ran tests on the machinery so the customer could calculate its output rates and also judge the level of marking contrast.

Avient Launches High Performance UV Laser Marking Technology for FEP Wire & Cable But laser marking on thinner wire surfaces presents challenges. The new Colorant Chromatics UV Laser Marking technology enables permanent laser marking with very minimal impact to the thinner wire surfaces.
