The formula for BX-Burn not only enhances engraving on steels and chrome plated steel it is also highly effective when using an IR (1064 nm) laser. BX-Burn will not only generate a deeper burn, but this effect can be used to double the speed of engraving on aluminum, titanium and zinc plated items. A noticeable difference can been seen up to 200 mm/s engraving speed.
