Identify your products with security taggants from Olnica

Monday, 16 October, 2017

OLNICA develops, produces and sells security taggants to beat counterfeiting, secure products and protect marking properties from potential tampering.

OLNICA is a French company whose headquarters and production centre are based in Rennes, France, and it has offices in the USA and China.

The company designs and manufactures specific taggants for each client and can offer technical guidance throughout the whole development process.

There are four key levels of protection when it comes to security:

Level 1 - Overt (visible): taggant detectable by observation, for instance, a logo or barcode.
Level 2 - Covert (invisible): taggant detectable by simple UV-light readers.
Level 3 - Covert (invisible): optical fingerprint detectable by specific readers such as a spectrophotometer.
Level 4 - Forensic (invisible): molecular DNA detectable only by specific laboratories by means of a scanning electron microscope (SEM).

OLNICA security taggants incorporate the three security levels: 2, 3 and 4; in each case, the level of protection we wish to detect may be defined. In the case of level 2, OLNICA taggants bear the specific trait of solely being detectable by UV-light sources with specific wavelengths.

They may be incorporated into countless systems, such as inks, paints, plastics, textiles, and so on, because they are effective under the conditions specified below and they offer the following properties:

- Temperature resistant up to 450ºC
- Colourless, does not produce haze (micron size particle)
- Non-toxic

Why consider using these taggants?

To benefit from traceability of the product from origin to point of application, avoiding false claims.
To control potential product tampering.
To endow products with a detectable seal or mark of authenticity either by using a single taggant for a manufacturer’s full production output or by using several taggants to distinguish between product lines and distribution channels.
