| Cermark | (LMM600) - A chemical comprised of a molybedenum trioxide and other additives manufactured by dmc2 (formerly Cerdec) The material is applied to bare metal surfaces through a brush or spray, prior to engraving. Once the material dries, it actually adheres itself to the metal. The surface can then be laser engraved with a C02 laser. Results will vary depending on the metal and the desired affect, but dark indelible marks are possible using this method. Once the part is laser engraved, the excess will wash off. |
