INDUSTRY BULLETIN Cesa™ Laser Marking Additives for the Transportation Industry Many thermoplastic automotive parts require a permanent marking, and laser marking is among the most efficient means to do so. Cesa Laser Marking Additives can be used with thermoplastics commonly used in vehicles including: • PP • PC/ABS • Polyamide • Polyacetal (POM) WHY SELECT LASER MARKING? Laser marking typically has little effect on part integrity.
