TherMark & CerMark

Everyone with a laser marking system knows that some materials are just not markable, or are not markable with the laser you known. The TherMark product is the solution in these situations.

Using TherMark and CerMark along with your laser marking system -- be it CO2 or "YAG" -- will more often than not result in high image quality, high-contrast, permanent images.

TherMark/CerMark do not wear off and are not susceptible to corrosion.

TherMark/CerMark allows the marking of such material as bare glass, bare aluminum, nylon with dark, easy to read images.

TherMark/CerMark is available in various formulations that allow the material to be sprayed, screen printed or brushed onto the surface prior to marking. A TherMark tape is also available.

Why use TherMark or CerMark on materials that can be marked directly with a YAG laser?

TherMark or CerMark Versus Direct YAG Mark

Better UV resistance
Less chance of corrosion
Improved viewing from all angles
No significant deformation of thin steel due to heat
Faster mark times for dark marks
Much wider process window

Versus Chem Etch

Easier to do over a wide area
No custom tooling or masks
Environmentally easier (Chem etch often classifies the customer as a “metal finisher” meaning that they have to adhere to stricter sewage regulations)
Variable data
Less manual handling
