    Thermark- is it conductive after lasering

    does anyone know if it will conduct electricity after using it to mark a part.

    Anybody have any experience.

    Wanted to talk to someone at the company but they closed at 4 and trying to quote a job quickly.

    Thanks

    Molybdenum Dioxide yes,

    Sodium Trioxide yes,

    The final coating will likely be conductive but at what standard I have no idea, lot of variables to consider I would think (voltages, frequencies etc)

    humm does give me an idea though.....

    best wishes

    Dave

    ps: sorry, the above chemicals are the main makeup of both compounds (Cermark & Thermark)
