Images produced in coatings at high
speeds
By combining substrate conversion and laser energy, a chemistry can be added to inks, coatings and plastics allowing images to be printed at high speeds using low power laser light.
Sherwood Technology, the leading colour change chemistry specialist, has produced a new brochure highlighting the advantages of its recently launched DataLase coding and marking technique DataLase is a new technology combining chemistry, substrate conversion and laser energy for the high speed printing of images using low power laser light

Brochure highlights colour change expertise
A leading colour change chemistry specialist has produced a new brochure highlighting its capabilities, vision and expertise in colour change technology.
DataLase chemistry can be successfully added to inks, coatings, processed plastics, and a whole array of packaging and printing materials such as paper, board, foil and metals.
A steered beam of low power laser causes a reaction with the DataLase chemistry to create a clear, permanent, high contrast image.
The chemistry is completely non-toxic and environmentally friendly, and requires no mechanical contact.
The absence of ink or ribbons guarantees that the technique is virtually maintenance free, creating substantial advantages over more established methods.
Furthermore, as an inert substance, it does not react when it is exposed to UV light or solvents.
The new brochure succinctly presents the benefits of this solution.
The information focuses on current and future developments afforded by this technology.
Unlike more traditional methods, DataLase is both flexible and versatile which means that it can be tailored to satisfy the packaging coding and marking needs of the food and beverage or pharmaceutical industries.
Sherwood has embarked on a licensing and trademarking strategy to stimulate take-up of the new DataLase technology.
Due to the fostering of long-lasting and beneficial partnerships with chemical, substrate and laser technology experts, Sherwood has substantially simplified the integration of DataLase technology within existing supply chains.
Steve Kelly, managing director, Sherwood Technology, says: "With successful implementations of our technology underway, we are now demonstrating DataLase's huge potential and commercial viability.
During 2004, we will be concentrating on a marketing programme to educate potential customers about the benefits of this new generation coding and marking technique.
We are also keen to establish strategic relationships and partnerships with key industry players in the various fields of application for DataLase.".
