About Nanotech Security Corp:
Nanotech Security Corp. is developing its nanotechnology for the authentication and anti-counterfeiting market under exclusive sub-license from Simon Fraser University, where the technology originated. Founded in 1984, Nanotech Security Corp. has developed technology and services in areas of criminal justice, infrared night-viewing, tracking security and forensics.
Upon development being successfully completed, Nano-tech products are expected to be usable both overtly through an image visible to the naked eye and also in a covert manner, including invisible (to the eye) authentication features which will employ machine readable data. The images produce vibrant colours and seemingly moving images which allow observers to quickly identify the authenticity of the product to which a KolourOptik’s® optical marker or tag has been affixed. The technology works by using nano-scale structures - smaller than the wavelength of light - to capture ambient light using ultra-high optical efficiency and high pixel density. These KolourOptik’s® can be directly imprinted into nearly any surface including polymers, metals and even paper, becoming part of the product itself. Its outstanding optical performance means it can be used without mirror-like coatings found on traditional security features like holograms, and can be applied as a transparent security window display. The company is working to enhance security for currency as well as many other applications including authenticating legal documents, merchandise, concert tickets, tax-paid stamps, medical & credit transactional cards, visas & passports, pharmaceuticals and for eye-catching brand and logo recognition.
