Laser coding and marking technology expert DataLase has launched a series of new colorless to white coatings for a range of packaging applications.

These coatings are centered around biodegradable and sustainably sourced raw materials, providing high contrast white printing even on difficult substrates such as 12 micron PET and shrink film, under the weight of flexographic and gravure coatings. This series includes transfer printing coatings for directly marking the shape of objects, such as bottles and bottle caps.

This multifunctional coating can also be used for folding paper boxes, flexible films, foils, small bags, and labels. High opacity, clear laser printing quality, and QR code readability can be achieved on a range of lasers, providing CO2, fiber, and UV lasers.

Compared to laser ablation, these coatings can eliminate ink debris, odors, and exhaust gases, making them suitable for sterile packaging. They also extend the lifespan of common filters and extraction equipment in printing lines. In addition, compared to laser ablation, coatings allow for faster laser imaging, thereby increasing production yield and extending laser lifespan at lower laser power.

Uniquely, these coatings provide white markings through a metal free natural alternative, with titanium dioxide commonly used in traditional and digital inks. This sustainable chemical composition and the resulting coatings are widely protected by exclusive patents held by DataLase. This comprehensive patent protection ensures a high degree of assurance in the supply chain.

Ally Grant, Chief Technology Officer of DataLase, stated, "Based on the high expectations set by our market leading paint and pigment technology, our innovative transparent to white coatings aim to reduce consumables and waste in the production environment. They not only increase production and productivity, but also have wear and friction resistance, thereby minimizing the need for potential rework and further waste.".

These coatings have a wide range of uses and are sufficient to meet product coding applications in various industries, including food and beverage, home and personal care, pharmaceuticals, and healthcare. They are compatible with a variety of substrates such as film materials, paper, and plastics, making them ideal for use in small bags, laminates, and bottles.
