Silicone sample plate 3.0

Revolutionary marking technology and impressive visual effects in the
new silicone sample plate 3.0!

Joint developments from starlim, the world’s largest silicone injection molders, and
the renowned Reichle Technologiezentrum have moved to the next level. Technical
know-how in the area of silicone injection molding gained by starlim over many years
aids innovative adaptations in the area of silicone articles.
Femto laser technology employed by Reichle enables the integration of holograms,
color effects, textures without depth and particularly high surface qualities in molds.
And the results of bundling this expertise: the silicone sample plate 3.0.

Innovative marking options
The new silicone sample plate 3.0 offers a few remarkable highlights. With dimensions
of 120 x 160 mm and a thickness of 2.7 mm, it is now available in two colors: elegant
black and a cool white. Both variants impress through a new property for silicone, as
they contain a color changing additive. This additive facilitates the individual marking
of silicone components with a laser to create serial numbers, product information
or decorative elements. Depending on the individual color chosen, it is possible to
select a color change to black or white, thus creating an optimum contrast after the
laser process. According to ISO 10993-5, the laser changing colors employed are
harmless when in contact with skin (cytotoxicity) and approved by the German
Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR), the FDA and USP Class 6.

Design meets utility
A particular highlight is the integrated lenticular image. Different motives become
visible on the same surface when the plate is tilted. In addition, the sample plate 3.0
offers numerous 3D structures with hologram surfaces. These innovative features
enable the creation of unique hallmarks in silicone components, thus ensuring their
authenticity.
