| Parameter | W | SF | P | G | E |
| Primary Marking Objective | High dark contrast on light polymers | Sb-free dark marking | Reliable marking under difficult conditions | Colored / green marking | Stable marking in electronic & hybrid systems |
| Laser Interaction Type | Localized surface darkening | Localized surface modification | High-efficiency energy absorption | Color-selective laser response | Laser response stabilization |
| Resulting Mark Appearance | Black / dark gray | Black / gray | Dark, industrial contrast | Green or colored mark | Neutral contrast, controlled |
| Electrical Behavior Impact | Low impact in standard polymers | Electrically neutral | Low impact (not ESD-targeted) | Electrically neutral | Electrically neutral (insulating) |
| Cleanliness / Outgassing | Standard polymer grade | Standard polymer grade | Industrial grade | Standard polymer grade | Low outgassing / electronics-friendly |
| Best-Fit Application Class | Consumer goods, medical devices | Regulated consumer & industrial parts | Industrial, thick or filled parts | Visual coding, differentiation, branding | Connectors, sensors, ESD-sensitive parts |
| Processing Robustness | Broad processing window | Broad processing window | Very robust, wide laser window | Moderate, color tuning required | Stable, resin-dependent |
| When NOT to Use | ESD-critical electronic parts | When Sb is allowed and max contrast is needed | Aesthetic or decorative marking | When only black contrast is required | Simple cosmetic marking |
