How to use Aerosol Spray Can?

HOW TO APPLY BRILLIANCE AEROSOL MARKING SPRAY

Clean - Wipe the substrate with alcohol so it's free of dirt and oil.

Spray - Before apply

Shake well, Spray 6-8 inches from the substrate surface, apply a thin coat and hold it at 45° degrees using left to right motion, as long as you do not see through the surface.

Do not have to overspray!

(Tip: Give 5-10 second quick shakes in between long sprays)

Dry - Use a Hair dryer to dry it in seconds.

Mark - Mark must be dry, your laser settings should be adjusted and focused according to the material.

Pictures

Wash - Rinse or wipe with a wet cloth. No need to wait after marking.

HOW TO APPLY BRILLIANCE LIQUID READY (BRUSH APPLICATION)

Clean: Use denatured alcohol to clean

the substrate, ensuring it

is free of oil, dirt, and grease.

Dilute: Fill the bottle with

denatured alcohol up to the FIRST line.

Shake/Stir Well

Apply: Brush mixture onto

surface with even coats

Dry: Ensure that the mixture

is completely dried on surface

Focus: Ensure laser is

focused with substrate

Mark: (Speed and Power FAQ)

Finish: Wash off excess powder

Do your inks (spray, brush-on or powder come any color other than black.

Our current offering for metal markings is black. However our team is working on colors including white and copper red which will be launched soon.

I'm starting a business with Laser

If you are in the market looking for a laser machine. I would recommend a 50 to 100 watt CO2 laser. Our products are a perfect solution to mark on a variety of different substrates with CO2 or Fiber laser/Yag laser. Our general recommendation is 25-30 watts minimum for a CO2 laser and 10 watt minimum for a Fiber Laser. CO2 lasers will give a wide range to cover a variety of substrates unless you have specific need for fiber laser.

How does your product compares to the competition

Our product works in a similar manner to the competition in usage and application with the following advantages:

- Affordable / value price: Our products are competitively priced compared to the competition.

- More Value: up to 25% more coverage than competition for our metal marking products.

- No scrubbing: After marking, overspray can be easily washed or wiped off with a wet cloth.

- No staining of the metal

- Anti clog technology

- Long Shelf life: Several years

- Fast Drying in Seconds: We recommend to use hair dryer or heat gun to dry it within seconds which speeds up the process.

How Plastics Laser Inks Work?

Plastic Laser Marking additives Must involve Injection molding or extrusion process and can work only with Fiber and Yag lasers.

It is NOT something you can apply on pre-existing plastic parts and mark with laser. It has to be processed with molding. Lazact Black or Lazact white is available in master batch form (small plastic granules) which can be mixed with your resin at 2-5% LDR by weight of the molding shot. The molding machine screw then mixes it with your resin in the barrel at 200 to 400 F and is then injected in your steel mold at a high pressure.

Do you ship international?

For international markets, our powder products, liquid ready and plastic additives are safe to ship via air. We do offer international shipping on our aerosol cans. However, we have to ship under a hazmat category which requires special packaging and a minimum order quantity. Please contact us for more details.
