With less impact on the manufacturing process, more CFA can effectively be introduced. Consistency of surface both chemically and physically leads to more even wetting of the ink which ensures good dot definition—the key to higher quality digital print images. This enables a more continuous distribution of the foaming additive into the polymer matrix, improving uniformity of cell structure and reproducibility of density.

Others, such as glossy metallic paint effects, do not only help increase appeal but offer more sustainable, VOC-free alternatives to paint and coatings. Brand owners and marketers can draw inspiration from this tool to develop appliances that will be more attractive to consumers. Like all of our additive solutions, our laser marking solutions can be combined with color for more flexibility and efficiency.
