IRASORB LM001
The laser direct structuring process allows the manufacturing of electronic equipment directly onto a 3-dimensional polymeric or ceramic substrate without the use of a printed circuit board. Generating the electrical circuitry directly onto the polymer or ceramic part allows a high packing of electronic components and helps to miniaturize the parts. LDS additives, for example our StanoStat CP5C, are incorporated directly into the polymer. After injection molding, the resulting part is marked with a laser engraving the circuit onto the surface. This then undergoes metallisation. The metal is only deposited on the areas that have been marked by the laser. Thereafter, the components can be mounted.

- Features
LDS additives have a double function – they work as a laser marking additive and as a catalyst for the metallisation process.. The specific advantages of the StanoStat additives are their light colouration and high stability.

- HIGHLIGHTS
Laser marking produces permanent and indestructible marks on plastic surfaces, and these permanent marks offer many advantages over other markings. To name just a few: improved quality control, brand protection against product piracy, and stability against environmental impact.; Laser marking is a very flexible technology, suitable for high volume products, as well as for small lot sizes. The abrasion resistant laser marks can be applied on soft or hard surfaces, and even on surfaces which are not flat. Marking in all 3 dimensions is possible.; Whether it is for technical applications like bar codes and lot numbers, or for decorative purposes, the laser marking process is a good choice for those looking for a lasting solution.; However, not all polymers mark the same way. Some polymers like PE or PP are almost transparent for the typically used near infrared lasers with a wavelength around 1064 nm. Others, for example, PC, interact easily with NIR laser light without any additives.; As a result, the use of laser marking additives is necessary in many polymers to achieve a good laser marking result.
