Laser markable monofilaments

Abstract

A polymer monofilament, which includes up to five percent by weight of at least one radiation-sensitive, mark-forming additive, said weight percentage based on the total weight of the polymer and additive only, is marked with a laser. The laser-marked monofilament may be used as a bristle for a brush such as a toothbrush or a paint brush.
