IRASORB BITO, the blue Indium Tin Oxide shows higher electrical conductivity and higher absorption in near infrared light compared to the yellow version, which makes it useful for coatings, inks and polymeric films.

The laser direct structuring process allows the manufacturing of electronic equipment directly onto a 3-dimensional polymeric or ceramic substrate without the use of a printed circuit board. Generating the electrical circuitry directly onto the polymer or ceramic part allows a high packing of electronic components and helps to miniaturize the parts. LDS additives, for example our StanoStat CP5C, are incorporated directly into the polymer. After injection molding, the resulting part is marked with a laser engraving the circuit onto the surface. This then undergoes metallisation. The metal is only deposited on the areas that have been marked by the laser. Thereafter, the components can be mounted.

IRASORB LM002 is a non-toxic, Sb-free combination of metal oxides designed as highly efficient Laser Marking Additive for Polymers

IRASORB LM004 is a non-toxic combination of metal oxides designed as highly efficient Laser Marking Additive for Polymers

IRASORB LM005 is an efficient combination of metal oxides designed for laser marking and laser direct structuring in various polymers. It provides strong, dark marks in many polymers. It strongly accelerates electroless copper deposition.

IRASORB CTO M10 is a highly efficient Infrared Absorbing Material, which has been especially designed to be used in solvent based coatings, inks and for extrusion processes in the polymer industry.IRASORB CTO M10 performs well as a Laser Marking Additive to generate white marks on dark polymers.

Irasorb CTO grades are available as powders and dispersions. In order to benefit from the superior IR absorption properties of this material, it is necessary to ensure the highest possible degree of dispersion. The CTOM10 grade offers the great advantage that it can be used directly in the extrusion or injection molding process without further pre-treatment. Formulation of Masterbatches for solar protection products is simplified.

IRASORB YITO, the yellow Indium Tin Oxide is predominantly used as a starting material for various processes to generate transparent conducting layers and electrodes for displays, solar cells and similar applications.
