Fluon+™ F-LaserWrite
AGC Chemicals Americas, Inc. Fluon+™ F-LaserWrite is a series of concentrates that can be used to add written identification to wire and cable applications using laser marking. These concentrates can be added to the jacket or insulation resin along with a standard color concentrate to allow for easy marking. Fluon+™ F-LaserWrite is made from a variety of fluoropolymer resins and is supplied in cylindrical pellet form.

- Benefits
The masterbatch will mix well into existing resin and color concentrate formulations; Can be used with any melt processable resin system; Allows for wire and cable constructions to be marked permanently; High contrast ratios are achievable; Can also be produced as a ready-to-use (RTU) compound
- End Uses
Fluoropolymer jacket or insulation where a laser-markable surface is required. Custom compounds may be available upon request.
- Processing
These products are added (approximately 3%), along with a standard color concentrate, to natural fluoropolymer resin and processed using conventional thermoplastic such as melt extrusion.
- Technology
- Plastics
- Handling Precautions
Heating Fluon® and Fluon+™ products in excess of 750°F (399°C) can produce toxic fumes. It is, therefore, necessary to provide local exhaust ventilation in areas where Fluon® products are exposed to high temperatures. Avoid breathing fumes or contaminating smoking tobacco with fumes, powder, or dust.. Thermal decomposition of this product will generate hydrogen fluoride, which is corrosive. Corrosion resistance materials are required for prolonged contact with molten resin.
- Hazardous Substances
This product does not contain lead, hexavalent chromium, or cadmium, and are used in applications where RoHS (Restrictions on the use of Certain Hazardous Substances) compliance is required.
- Safe Use and Handling
A summary of the hazards, as defined by OSHA Hazard Communication Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1200 for this product are: Physical hazards: None Health hazards: None. FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS READ AGC CHEMICALS AMERICAS, INC. MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET.
