MatriX OVP
The principle guiding OVP or optically variable pigments are made into optically variable inks OVIs that also go by the term colour-shifting-inks is their ability to authenticate a banknote or official document by showing colors differently from different angles. This allows a number on a banknote to be viewed in different colors when held up in different ways. MatriX OVP or optically variable inks are a potent anticounterfeit tool on account of several reasons.
- The MatriX OVP range of sophisticated optically variable inks is widely used as a very effective anticounterfeiting mechanism for an extensive range of official documents and modern banknotes across many countries around the world.
- MatriX OVP and OVI are much cheaper to use than holograms. Add to that the fact that there is no need to deploy expensive equipment to validate high-value documents or banknotes quickly and efficiently and you understand why OVI inks are such a popular choice with our customers looking to find hi-tech security at an economical price for their products and applications.
- MatriX OVP and security inks are extremely popular in a wide and diverse range of applications that encompass banknotes, certificates, ID cards, permits, certificates, packaging, deeds, cosmetics, and automobiles.
MatriX-Thermochromic
MatriX-Thermochromic pigment embedded security inks are the most sought-after of our security inks. That is on account of the ability of these inks to change their color following changes in temperature lending them to very effective use in numerous anti-counterfeiting applications.
As our inks trigger a change in color at temperatures that are in the -10° C to +70° C range, these can be deployed in various anticounterfeiting and authentication applications and uses. Moreover, the color changes are reversible and change both when the temperature of the ink in question rises or falls.
Thermochromic inks are darker at temperatures higher than the activation point and lighter or nearly clear at a temperature higher than that. That property of thermochromic pigments allows them to be used when the temperature is cold, equal to body heat and hot which further allows them to be used for several product-security enhancing initiatives. These include furnishing proof of authenticity, temperature warnings, enhancing labels and as an interactive medium for publicity- mailers, coasters, etc.)
Other uses that these can be put to include providing smart packaging solutions for perishable foods by indicating the correct temperature to store them at. These color-changing inks can be used to print thermochromic color on beer bottles that will be invisible at room temperature and appear in color at low temperatures. These changing color inks could also be used to embellish glass and ceramic mugs.
MatriX-Thermochromic pigments empowering our security inks come in red, black, orange, green and magenta colors.
MatriX-IR Upconverter
The MatriX-IR Upconverter pigments, when exposed to IR lights, show up in visible colors like yellow, red, orange, and blue empowering our security inks to help protect high-value documents against sophisticated counterfeiting attempts. NanoMatriX security inks contain the MatriX- IR upconverter ink pigments that help convert infrared light to visible light and the fact that these can be applied in a range of colors makes them just right for use in all kinds of printing technologies. These include flexo, intaglio, screen, offset, inkjet, and rotogravure.
Furthermore, these pigments can be applied in specific ways to help impart forensic security features to an extensive range of products against the most concerted counterfeiting efforts. Our security inks containing these MatriX-IR Upconverter pigments can be conveniently deployed to enhance the security of ID cards, tax stamps, passports, warehouse receipts, certificates, electronic components, product markings and luxury products.
MatriX-UV-Fluorescent
The MatriX-UV-Fluorescent pigments boosting the power of our sophisticated security inks are very bright and capable of high performance for long periods. These are visible in short and long UV fluorescent light with the particle size (Dv90) ranging between 500 nm and 15 µm dimensions. What’s more these pigments can be seamlessly delivered via our custom formulated forensic security features.
Fluorescence is a phenomenon that is not apparent in daylight and becomes known only in the presence of ultra-violet light and as it does not have an afterglow it lends itself to easy deployment as a security-enhancing tool for a slew of anti-counterfeit applications. The fact that these pigments are available in all ink colors including blue, red, orange, yellow and so on makes them ideal for all manner of printing technologies.
The extreme adaptability and flexibility of MatriX-UV-Fluorescent pigments ensure that these are extensively deployed to provide anti-counterfeit protection to banknotes, ID cards, passports, tax stamps, certificates, passports and so on.
