TECHNICAL INFORMATIONLASER MARKING PRODUCTLMM-6018 Black Laser Marking Tape
1.0 Product Description
LMM-6018 is a laser marking tape designed for use on stainless steel, glass, ceramic, ceramic like andporcelain substrates. LMM-6018 can be applied to a substrate, laser marked to bond a portion of the tapeto the substrate and then peeled away to leave the mark. LMM-6018 is designed for use in applications
where spraying and removing our other laser marking materials is not possible or feasible. Rolls areavailable in 1”, 2”, 3” and 4” widths. They are 50 feet in length per roll, wound on a standard 3” core.
Samples are available in 2” by 6” sheets.

2.0 Product Characteristics

2.1 Physical Properties
Appearance

Dark black adhesive tape with a white paper
backing.

2.2 Strengths of ProductRaises the contrast of laser marks on steel, glass and ceramic substrates. Allows Nd:YAG, CO2 and fiber
lasers to mark substrates such as steel, glass, and porcelain with a dark black mark. Easy to handle anduse. Eliminates variation in application, requires no application equipment. Significantly reduces post
marking clean up.

2.3 Recommended Application / Removal Techniques
Application Methods

Apply LMM-6018 to substrate and smooth out byhand, ensure that no air bubbles or gaps occur
between tape and substrate. Moderate pressure
should insure good adhesion. LMM-6018 may
also be applied by automated machines.

Application Notes

Clean the surface of substrate so that it is free ofany lubricants or oils. LMM-6018 must adhere
well to the substrate to ensure a consistent mark.
Remove tape by peeling from surface. Someburned paper residue may need to be wiped
away. A cloth can be used with water or ethanol.
Some cut out portions of tape may also needremoved, depending on the mark.

TECHNICAL INFORMATIONLASER MARKING PRODUCT
2.4 Laser Marking of Product
Laser Marking Method

CO2, YAG or Fiber laser

Recommended Starting Point for Settings

CO2: 100% power (35 watt laser)
5-10% speed
500 DPI / 500 PPIYAG- 30-50 watts
5-10 inches/sec speed

2.6 Additional Application Notes
For optimum mark quality, good adhesion and contact between the tape and the substrate isnecessary. The tape must stick well to the substrate. If gaps or air bubbles are trapped
between the tape and the substrate, poor mark quality will result. Use moderate pressure to
insure good contact. Use of a squeegee will help insure good contact. Rough or uneven
substrates such as porous non-glazed ceramics or bricks will also produce marks of lower
resolution due to the roughness of the material
2.7 Marking Notes
Some burning of the paper backing will occur during marking and is normal. We recommendthat the marking be done in a well ventilated area. When making large marks or a large
quantity of marks, we recommend a ventilation system to exhaust the smoke created fromthe paper burning to the outside.
Marking may require some trial and error to optimize your laser with a particular substrate.
Keep in mind that all lasers react differently depending on the substrate. Best results are
obtained when marking at lower powers and slower speeds. High powers tend to damage
glass substrates and should be avoided whenever possible. Experimentation should bedone to find settings that produce an acceptable mark without glass damage.
3.0 Product Preparation
No preparation is necessary, use LMM-6018 tape as supplied.

Potential Health Effects
Principle routes of exposure:

Inhalation, ingestion, skin and eye contact.

Eye contact:

May cause irritation.

Skin contact:

Prolonged skin contact may cause skin irritation and/or dermatitis. May cause allergic skinreaction.

Inhalation:

Dust or fumes from firing irritating to respiratory tract. Fumes may cause lung inflammation.
May be harmful by inhalation. May cause severe allergic respiratory reaction.

Ingestion:

May irritate digestive tract.

Chronic toxicity:

No known effects under normal conditions of use. Excessive inhalation of fumes or dust may
cause chemical pneumonitis, cyanosis, and pulmonary edema. Chronic inhalation exposure
can cause lung damage. Long term inhalation causes lung damage (silicosis and cancer).
Respirable crystalline silica has been classified as a Group I (sufficient evidence in humans for
carcinogenicity) carcinogenic by IARC and is listed by NTP as a substance which may
reasonably be anticipated to be a carcinogen. Suspect cancer hazard (cobalt compound).
