H. W. Sands announces a broad offering of High Thermal Efficiency, Near Infrared Thermal Laser Dyes. These dyes are specifically designed to work with the broad offering of NIR Lasers and NIR Laser Diodes available on the market today. These Thermal Laser Dyes are the enabling material in processes such as dye sublimation and NIR laser welding/cutting. In addition, they are a critical process component in the manufacture of color filters due to their low visible color and high thermal efficiency.

At H. W. Sands we continually research and commercialize new NIR Thermal Dyes; therefore improving our product line to keep up with the changing demands of the marketplace. We work directly with our customers to identify, and when necessary, develop custom and proprietary dyes consistent with specific applications and material sets. Noted below is an abbreviated list of Near Infrared Thermal Dyes matched against the most common NIR Laser wavelengths.

H. W. Sands Corp. is a Worldwide Leader in the design and manufacture of products for the Imaging Industry with a primary focus on the Security, Transaction Card, Electrophotographic, Display, Ink Jet and Pre-sensitized Printing Plate markets.

Established in 1983, our corporate R&D focus is on the research, development and commercialization of high-value, custom and commercial dyes, chemicals and corollary products which support our customer’s product differentiation, thereby increasing their brand value and overall profitability.
