Laser markable coatings include a marking pigment and a fixing material. The marking pigment may comprise titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, zinc sulfide or the like. The fixing material may comprise bismuth trioxide, antimony oxide and the like, and preferably has a melting temperature below 1,300° C. A preferred laser marking composition includes TiO2 and Bi2O3 in a weight ratio of about 1:1. After application to a substrate and laser irradiation, the fixing material stabilizes the resultant mark. |
