Basic Copper Hydroxyl Phosphate | Laser-Activated Additive

Direct Answer

Basic Copper Hydroxyl Phosphate is an inorganic copper-based phosphate compound used as a laser-responsive functional additive. It absorbs near-infrared energy and converts it into localized heat, enabling laser activation, marking, or surface modification in polymer systems under defined processing conditions.

What it is

An inorganic copper(II) hydroxyl phosphate compound used as a laser-responsive and thermally active additive.

What it is NOT

Not a pigment, not a flame retardant by itself, not a conductive filler, and not a universal smoke suppressant.

Where it fits

Used in laser-activated plastics, inks, coatings, and polymer systems requiring localized photothermal response.

Boundary condition

Requires appropriate laser wavelength, polymer compatibility, and activation conditions; inactive without energy input.
