Fluorescing materials for secure codes

Tracking goods and personnel is critical in an increasing number of security and brand protection applications including document markings, anti-counterfeiting, brand protection and supply chain authentication.

The company develops proprietary formulations into products designed to provide secure, accurate, and identifiable codes and solutions for industrial, manufacturing and retail organizations. These products provide an encoded optical signal that can be controlled and customized to offer a range of increased security benefits. Products under development include threads, labels, and other materials.

Marking and Security Applications
 
Secure markings in inks, threads, and codings

The sale of counterfeit goods is escalating at an alarming rate, dramatically increasing the need for advanced security materials in inks, threads, and coatings. Counterfeiting hurts everyone: it costs manufacturers and retailers millions in revenue which can jeopardize jobs and services; it deprives cities of critical tax dollars; and it can endanger innocent consumers who unknowingly purchase unsafe counterfeit products.

To combat counterfeiting, the company offers a range of products including customized solvent, oil and water-based inks which are detectable in the visible to near infrared region (NIR), range from semi-overt to covert, and can be adapted for unique printing techniques. Also in development are paints and coatings for threads and other materials.
