Right: Polysecure’s particle


fingerprint technology allows product tracking and forgery detection


tracer particles that are incorporated into the resin before it is processed into an end product. These can later be recognised by a ‘novel fingerprint recognition algorithm’. Its name comes from the fact that it creates a distinctive, three-dimensional image that only becomes visible when excited by special light – making it shine like a starry sky. As well as being incorporated into bulk plastics,


the particles can be added to coatings and inks. The company says that particle distribution is random and cannot be copied – making the solution “truly forgery-proof”. Jochen Moesslein, managing director at the company, added: “With our technology, OEMs can combine anti-counterfeiting with individual traceability because the particle fingerprint (PFP) patterns are individual and forgery-proof.” Last year, the company signed an agreement


with materials specialist Roechling for the use of its technology. The technology, which Roechling calls SmartMarker, equips plastics products with an unmistakable identifier. This allows customers to easily authenticate and identify their components – offering new options in counterfeit protection and


developing digital material passports and recycling cycles. “This cooperation is an important step for us in


the further expansion of our smart products,” said Franz Luebbers, CEO of Roechling Industrial.
