PIGMENTS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR USE IN LASER MARKING

摘要

Pigments and compositions for use in laser marking. A colorless UV-absorbing pigment at least partially coated with a synergist has the formula [Rm(SiOn)]pr'q' wherein (a)m is 1 to 3, n is 1 to 3, p is at least 1, and q is 0 to 3, and (b) at least one R or R' is a substituent that upon pyrolysis generates a black material suitable for providing a mark. Such pigments are useful in fluoropolymers used for wire and cable insulation.
