摘要

A laser-imageable formulation suitable for spray application to a substrate, comprising a colour-former selected from an organic colour former, a metal hydroxyl compound, a metal salt in combination with a hydroxyl compound, and a metal salt heptonate, gluconate or malonate, a binder and a carrier, wherein the formulation further comprises a NIR-absorbing component. The invention also relates to a method of coating a substrate with the laser-imageable formulation.
