Embedded authentication for polymers

Protecting the authenticity of plastic products with embedded taggants

Microscopic chemical or physical markers are embedded into polymers during manufacturing using a dedicated masterbatch, giving every protected product a unique, unforgeable identity.

Invisible to the eyeImpossible to removeInstantly authenticated
Why it matters

A hidden identity inside the material itself

Taggants act like a chemical or physical barcode embedded within the plastic rather than applied to its surface.

01

Counterfeit Prevention

Proves that a product is genuine and not an unauthorized replica.

02

Liability & Brand Protection

Verifies whether a failed or non-compliant plastic component was manufactured by the original manufacturer.

03

Traceability

Enables materials and products to be identified and verified throughout the supply chain.

Two complementary technologies

Engineered for the product, the material and the threat

OPT

Chemical / Molecular Taggants

Unique chemical compounds incorporated into the polymer during production. Their characteristic optical absorption or emission is detected using a dedicated reader.

OPTICAL AUTHENTICATION

Microscopic Particles

Micron-sized particles with distinctive physical properties, dispersed throughout the polymer using a masterbatch and detected with a dedicated electromagnetic reader.

NON-LINE-OF-SIGHT CAPABILITY
From supply chain to safety-critical parts

Authentication in the real world

01 / PHARMACEUTICAL SUPPLY CHAIN

Protection that travels with the product

A tagged security seal creates a covert, tamper-proof layer of authentication for sensitive goods in transit. The embedded identity can be verified immediately with a dedicated reader.

02 / AUTOMOTIVE COMPONENTS

Proof of origin where failure is not an option

Taggants embedded in an OEM plastic component make it possible to verify authenticity in the field, even after the component has been installed.

  • Safety-critical polymer parts
Built-in security

Invisible. Inherent. Uncompromising.

✓

Covert Authentication

Completely invisible to the naked eye, without affecting appearance, mechanical properties or durability.

✓

Tamper-Proof

Embedded directly into the plastic matrix and impossible to remove or alter without damaging the product itself.

✓

Low Concentration

Only extremely small quantities are required, making the solution economical and nearly impossible to reverse-engineer.

✓

Dedicated Detection

Authentication is performed using readers specifically configured to detect the embedded taggant.
