Counterfeit Prevention
Proves that a product is genuine and not an unauthorized replica.
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.
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.
Liability & Brand Protection
Verifies whether a failed or non-compliant plastic component was manufactured by the original manufacturer.
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 AUTHENTICATIONMicroscopic 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 CAPABILITYFrom 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.
- Secure transport cases
- Pharmaceutical packaging
- High-value goods
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.
- Brake-fluid reservoirs
- Airbag components
- 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.
