Very hard to copy
Imitation means reproducing the distribution of all the particles, not a single mark.
Particle-based marking.
Microscopic particles mixed into the product form, together, a distribution unique to that batch. The identity rests not on a single particle but on the particles as a whole, which makes it a layer that is extremely hard to reproduce.

What it solves
A single mark can be imitated as soon as it is understood what it is.
The strength of a security layer should therefore rest not on a single element but on a whole that is hard to reproduce.
In the particle layer, microscopic particles mixed into the product together form a distribution unique to that batch. The identity rests on all the particles, not on one; imitating it means reproducing the entire distribution, not a single mark.
Particle
What does it deliver?
Fast field checks and deep laboratory verification come from the same structure.
Two-level checks
Larger particles are read in the field, smaller ones examined in the lab; you choose the depth you need.
No visible trace on the product
The product's look, performance and use stay exactly as they are.
How it is introduced
In three steps, without rebuilding your production flow.
Mixed into the product
Particles are evenly mixed into the product material during production.
Read or sampled
A reader is used for field checks and a small sample for deep verification.
Distribution compared
The measured distribution is matched against the reference recorded during production.
FAQ
Frequently asked
Is the product's performance affected?
Particles are added in trace amounts; the product's look, performance and use do not change.
Are field checks possible?
Larger particles are examined in the field with a reader; smaller ones are used for laboratory verification.
Is every batch different?
The distribution signature is recorded at batch level; which batch carries which signature is kept in the production record.

Meeting request
The right method for your product comes from the product itself.
The first meeting reviews your product group, your production flow and the points where verification will take place, and recommends a marking or analysis method.
