| LASER MARKING MATERIALS - CERMARK |
CerMark laser marking materials combined with the power and speed of lasers provide high contrast, permanent marks on a variety of substrates. Products are lead and cadmium-free, water-based materials which means they are environmentally preferred and easy to clean up.

NASA's International Space Station was home to aluminum squares lasermarked with CerMark's LMM-6000 for nearly a year. |
The nature of the marks depends on a variety of variables relating to our material and the interaction of the laser with the substrate. Laser parameters, such as; dot size, power and writing speed need to be varied depending on the substrate to be marked. Usually the best marks are made with the laser operating in the CW mode.
The material can be applied to the substrate by tape, spray, pad-print, roller, screen-print, or brush. Once applied and dried the laser makes the mark, any excess material is removed by brushing or washing with water leaving behind a permanent, high contrast mark. Marks on metal have withstood military lubricants, salt water spray, high heat and abrasion tests.
LMM-6000 is a laser marking material for metals. LMM-6000 is ethanol based, which allows for a fast drying time. It can be used on a variety of bare metal substrates including stainless steel, brass, aluminum, titanium, tin, nickel, and many more. LMM-6000 will not work on metals with a lacquered coating. |

Using LMM-6000: LMM-6000 is ready to use in aerosol can form. Shake can well before using. Allow the agitator ball to rattle for at least 2 minutes. For best results, use when can is between 70 and 90 degrees F.
Applying: Clean the surface of the metal so it is free of any type of lubricants or oils.
Hold can approximately 8-12 inches from substrate to be sprayed. Depress valve fully during spray. Apply a thin coat of LMM-6000 to the metal, try to apply an even covering. Try to cover the area to be marked with a light spray, using two passes. If the material is applied too thick, it will require more power to make the mark. It is important that LMM-6000 is applied with an even and thin coat. Applying LMM-6000 may require a little practice to get the right coverage. After use, the can nozzle should be cleaned by inverting the can and spraying until mist becomes clear. Any excess material on the nozzle should be cleaned off with water.
Drying: It is important that the LMM-6000 is allowed to dry thoroughly. It can air dry in about 2 minutes. This process can be sped up by using a drying oven, hair dryer or a heat lamp.

Applying: Clean the surface of the metal so it is free of any type of lubricants or oils.
Apply a thin coat of LMM-6000 to the metal, try to apply an even covering. LMM-6000 can be applied by a spray gun, air brush, paint brush, roller, or paint pad. If the material is applied too thin, the mark won't be as dark. If the material is applied too thick, it will require more power to make the mark. It is important that LMM-6000 is applied with an even and thin coat. Applying LMM-6000 may require a little practice to get the right coverage.
Drying: It is important that the LMM-6000 is allowed to dry thoroughly. It can air dry in about 2 minutes. This process can be sped up by using a drying oven, hair dryer or a heat lamp.
