Laser Marking Additive Masterbatch for PE Cables – DELTAPLAST
DELTAPLAST Laser Marking Additive Masterbatches from Delta Tecnic are designed to provide clear, permanent and highly resistant cable identification for PE cable applications.
In modern cable manufacturing, traceability and product identification are increasingly important for industrial, energy and infrastructure applications. Traditional marking technologies such as inkjet printing or hot stamp foil marking may suffer from wear, chemical exposure or abrasion over time.
To address these challenges, Delta Tecnic has developed a range of laser marking masterbatches for PE cables, combining colouration and laser marking functionality in a single masterbatch solution.
These solutions simplify the cable marking process, improve production efficiency and provide permanent identification resistant to oils, chemicals and abrasion.

The DELTAPLAST Laser Marking Additive range has been specifically developed for PE cable manufacturers requiring durable and high-contrast cable identification.
Key technical benefits include:
- Permanent laser marking: The additive systems are designed to create permanent cable markings that remain visible throughout the cable’s service life. Unlike conventional surface printing systems, laser marking offers long-term durability and resistance to mechanical wear.
- Resistance to oils, chemicals and abrasion: According to the Product Bulletin, laser markings generated using DELTAPLAST masterbatches are resistant to oils, chemical products and abrasion, ensuring reliable cable identification even in harsh industrial environments.
- Combined colour and laser marking functionality: The masterbatch incorporates both pigments and laser marking additives, allowing manufacturers to colour the cable and prepare it for laser marking using a single masterbatch formulation. This simplifies inventory management and improves processing efficiency during cable production.
- Improved production efficiency: The Product Bulletin highlights that these solutions can significantly simplify the marking process by replacing traditional technologies such as inkjet marking and hot stamp foil marking. This helps reduce operational complexity while improving production consistency.
- Excellent cable appearance and readability: The additive formulations provide high-quality and highly visible marking contrast, improving cable traceability and final product identification.
- Standard colour range available: Delta Tecnic offers laser marking masterbatches in several standard colours including:
- Blue
- Green
- Orange
- Red
- Yellow
- Black
- White
with recommended dosage levels of 2%.
