Processes Carbonizing

Carbonizing

In case of carbonization using laser, the laser marked material always gets a darker color.

Plastic bonds are broken and the carbon from these bonds is released. The discoloration thus produced ranges between gray to blue-gray and black.

Carbonization is used for light plastics and organic materials (paper, packaging materials, wood, and leather), in which the color changes from light to dark.

Suitable laser systems:

Color change in an injection molded part made of light plastic is brought about by means of carbonizing.

This application is typically used for permanent and durable marking of housings of all types, relays, switches, plugs and other electronic components.
