                    THE INVENTION                                                                             

            The invention is directed to an article having a label marked with a laser over part              
            of the surface.  The article has a surface comprising polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), a           
            titanium oxide pigment and an organic polymer selected from the group consisting of               
            arylene sulfide polymers, polyaryl sulfones, and polyetherketones.  Additional limitations        
            are described in the following illustrative claims.                                               


                                                THE CLAIMS                                                    

            Claim12 is illustrative of appellant’ invention and is reproduced below.                          
            12.  A marked article, comprising:                                                                
                   an article with a surface comprising a composition comprising:                             
                   A)    PTFE;                                                                                
                   B)    0.01 to 5 wt.% of at least one titanium oxide pigment; and                           
                   C)    0.1 to 5 wt% of at least one organic polymer selected from the group                 
            consisting of arylene sulfide polymers, polyarylsulfones and polyerketones,                       
                   wherein said surface of said article has label marked with a laser over less than an       
            entire surface of said composition.
