Colour change specialist Sherwood Technology Limited announces the breakthrough development in achieving the satisfactory marking of plastics using low power CO2 lasers
This unique facility demonstrates the future possibilities of laser marking, enabling current and potential licensees and end users to test the final results of using Sherwood's ground breaking colour change technologies to mark their products using a wide range of lasers.
DataLase and the recently Launched DataLase Clear are the current crop of colour change innovations responsive to the energy emitted from a low power CO2 Laser.
New applications for this established technology can be readily demonstrated and tested within this new facility and visitors can appreciate the benefits of using DataLase on their own products.

Critically, however, the Applications Laboratory also allows Sherwood's potential and current customers to catch a first hand glimpse of the future of Laser imaging.
Under appropriate secrecy agreements, prospective licensees are invited to share in early viewings of exciting new developments in Laser imaging.
Using the facilities of Sherwood's Applications Laboratory, products can be marked utilising the most comprehensive range of CO2 lasers available, including the Domino S100; Markem SmartLase; Videojet S10 and Alltec CS10.
A range of demonstrations is available utilising these lasers showing potential applications in date coding, bar coding, virtual labelling and graphics printing.
It is also possible to test material responsiveness to a selection of energy sources at different wavelengths.
For example, it is now possible to demonstrate colour change activation using diode lasers.
Diode laser technology is developing rapidly, and facilitates the marking of a wide range of substrates at a lower cost than a YAG laser.
The ability to manipulate the laser responsive chemistry at different wavelengths lends itself to exciting possibilities in brand protection and product security applications.
"The Applications Laboratory allows our present and potential customers to experience the future possibilities of laser imaging using DataLase and our new exciting colour change systems using laser light, at a range of wavelengths across the electromagnetic spectrum", says Steve Kelly, Managing Director of Sherwood Technology.
"We are really excited at the prospect of opening up this new initiative to provide our clients with infinite imaging solutions".
Interested parties are invited to contact the company directly to discuss their specific requirements.
All Sherwood Colour Change Solutions are available through a series of application licensing agreements and strategic partnerships.
