completely invisible. They are chemically and thermally stable.
They will not react with water or dilute acids and retain
their integrity after being heated or exposed to direct sunlight.
They have an extremely long lifetime that provides a significant
edge over their less efficient and unstable organic dye
counterparts.
All potential purchasers must go through an extensive evaluation and company qualification.
The Inks contain a code, which can be made unique to a given customer. They are inert, non-reactive, non-toxic, and absolutely safe for human handling as well as being environmentally friendly. Because of the intensity of luminescence and the enhanced sensitivity of the IIC detectors, the coded materials can easily be detected through different types of sealed packaging. The Invisible Ink code can be readily detected through a sealed carton and wrapping. This Invisible Security Ink Series allows virtually all types of documentation and commercial products of value to be instantly and intelligently recognized as genuine or counterfeit and is therefore the most cost effective and efficient solution to the problem of counterfeiting in the market today.
