CHARACTER-CARRYING INORGANIC SHEET DESIGNED FOR PRODUCING PIGMENT COMPONENT Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: marking parts, printing, or dyeing. SUBSTANCE: inorganic sheet carrying at least one character is designed for producing pigment components of predetermined size to be used for marking parts, forming inorganic pigment components and pigments, producing coatings incorporating pigment particles for printing or dyeing, and also for manufacturing substrates coated with compounds. One or more characters measuring 1 to 10 mcm are applied to inorganic sheets having at least two layers placed one on top of other; to this end layer is at least partially removed with aid of laser at short wavelength within wavelength range not over 1.5 mcm. Inorganic sheet is formed so that pigment flakes are produced in the process. EFFECT: enlarged functional capabilities. 17 cl, 8 dwg
