High-Level Anilox Performance

A ceramic layer is added on top of the barrier coat as the medium for laser engraving. This ceramic is known for being very hard and having a long life in regards to wear. However, ceramic is also inherently porous, which allows migration of whatever it comes into contact with. This again emphasizes the importance of the barrier coat layer to protect the base aluminum. An integral steel base also needs barrier protection as required from the application, although steel is not as vulnerable as aluminum
