Laser Markable Label Materials
Polyonics new family of UL approved laser markable label materials (LML) represents the next generation in high temperature, harsh environment label technology. The Polyonics (LML) products are constructed from highly durable polyimide films that can be ablated with a wide variety of popular low power lasers to provide long term durability and improved readability. The LML products include high strength pressure sensitive adhesives (PSA) and a variety of liners for die cutting.
Optimizes Direct Part Marking
The unique Polyonics LML materials are designed to optimize any direct part marking system (DPM) and help lower manufacturing costs. LML materials improve read rates of DPMs by increasing bar code contrast. They also allow manufacturers to capture QC and test data by directly marking the labels in process. In addition, using LML materials in concert with DPMs helps simplify the rework process by allowing relabeling and repositioning of bar codes.
High Temperature Alternative to PET and Acrylic
Polyimide is the material of choice for applications involving extreme temperatures and direct exposure to harsh chemicals. Now with the Polyonics polyimide LMLs, manufacturers can dramatically improve the long term durability of their labeling in the harshest of applications.
