Claims25
A fabric element comprising a TiO2 additive, the fabric element including a mark formed in or on a surface of the fabric element, wherein the mark includes a higher titanium oxide than TiO2.
A method of manufacturing a fabric element comprising a mark formed in or on the surface of the fabric element, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a fabric element comprising a TiO2 additive;
- irradiating a region of the surface of the fabric element using a laser so that absorption of laser radiation by the TiO2 in the region causes the laser-Irradiated TiO2 to form a higher titanium oxide than TiO2 so as to form the mark in or on the surface of the fabric element, wherein the mark includes the higher titanium oxide.
