Extrusion

Linx understands that coding and marking in the extrusion industry is highly challenging.  There’s no easy way to stop the production line if there is a technical difficulty without huge consequence for costly waste.  Add to this the harsh operating environments with possible heat and dust, and the task of minimising downtime is even more pressing. 

They also appreciate you need a robust, reliable coder particularly suited to these challenges.  Linx has proven experience gained over 30 years in delivering consistent coding and the tough printers use inks with excellent adhesion to meet the demands of the high-output extrusion industry.

Question-  I have seen laser marked ceramic tiles with four color pictures. Can I use TherMark / CerMark products to do four color marking?

Answer-  There are processes for four color marking on ceramic tiles based on the TherMark laser bonding technology, however we do not sell and support this process.  

Question- How should I dispose of excess TherMark / CerMark laser marking material?

Answer- Please call your local government for more information. Each State has its own laws regarding waste regulation.

Why can’t some CerMark/TherMark products be shipped via air freight without additional charges?

Question-  Why can’t some CerMark/TherMark products be shipped via air freight without additional charges?

Answer-  Aerosol cans (LMM14 , LMM6000 and New Ultra ) and alcohol-based chemicals (LMM6000, LMM6038, LMM6046 ) are considered a safety risk on airplanes due to being pressurized and flammable. CerMark employees are trained and certified to ship dangerous goods via air both domestically (under DOT 49 CFR) and internationally (under IATA). While CerMark does not charge extra for this service, freight companies impose additional charges due to the added regulatory complications of these products, and we are forced to pass these along to the customer.

Question- Is TherMark / CerMark laser marking material FDA approved?

Answer-  TherMark materials are not approved in themselves by the FDA as the FDA’s role is to approve final products rather than component materials. The FDA has, however, approved many of our customer’s finished products such as surgical tools and implants which have been marked using TherMark materials.
