Universal paste for metal marking with CO2 lasers provides many possibilities:
Marking of majority of metals with CO2 lasers, grey-black marking colour
Engraving of various steels
Cutting of very thin steel sheets
The paste ca be used with ordinary CO2 lasers, which are usually used e.g. for cutting of plywood or acryllic. Laser wavelength is suitable for these materials, however, it is not good for working with metals. Universal paste absorbs enegy and cross-links when irradiated with CO2 laser light. When metals of low heat conductivity are processed, such as steel and stainless steel, slower laser runs make it possible to remove material and obtaining an effect of engraving or even cutting.
