Long fiber thermoplastics (LFTs) offer benefits to design
engineers seeking a material that provides exceptional strength, yet requires
lightweight properties.
DESIGN SUPPORT
Designing your application for long fiber
thermoplastics, regardless of material familiarity,
requires an assessment of a wide array of inputs
to achieve the optimal geometry.
With
these capabilities at our disposal, we assist you with
recommending the following characteristics that
make up your customized solution:
• Resin system selection (i.e., nylon,polypropylene,
rigid thermoplastic polyurethane, etc

INDUSTRY BULLETIN
Cesa™ Laser Marking Additives
for the Transportation Industry
Many thermoplastic automotive parts require a
permanent marking, and laser marking is among
the most efficient means to do so.
Cesa Laser Marking Additives can be used with
thermoplastics commonly used in vehicles
including:
• PP
• PC/ABS
• Polyamide
• Polyacetal (POM)
WHY SELECT LASER MARKING?
