Polymeric data storage for the effective protection of products and goods
T. Hupe, Certego GmbH
In the last decade an increasing number of products have been targeted by counterfeiters. Premium goods such as luxury items have been targeted causing a multi?billion dollar damage. In fact counterfeits can be dangerous, e.g. when pharmaceutical fakes get circulated. To protect goods typically security features like watermarks, special inks are used providing a certain level of security. However, today's market demands go beyond as they require Verification based on objective criteria (e.g. package?ID) rather than on the appearance of a security element Option for in?field verification, besides the central track?and?trace approach Integration of different security features in one label to provide verification methods for experts as well as for untrained consumers Cost?effective solutions e.g. based on polymeric technology allowing inexpensive production and options for integration in product design.We'd like to introduce a security system meeting the above?mentioned requirements. It protects valuable goods against tampering and manipulation.

Pirates-Ex - Explosives agains Plagiarism
Günter Helferich, Fraunhofer Institute for Chemical Technology (ICT), Germany
A company logo now no longer serves to indicate an original product, and even the widely used hologram seals can be forged. As a result, comprehensive and long-term strategies are necessary to prevent the imitation of products and their marketing.
Explosive embossing is an intriguing process which allows the imprinting of even relatively soft materials, with almost any structure, into metals. The structural template is placed on the part or on the mould surface and then transferred into the metal by a strong impulse from an explosive. A holographic structural template - or any other structural template - placed between the explosive and the metal plate can also create a detailed embossing. The structural template is destroyed in the process. This means that the process cannot be copied even where an identical structural template is used, as a "complex" process such as embossing with detonation cannot be reproduced in detail.

New printing technologies for a customised plagiarism protection
Volker Zöllmer, Marcus Maiwald, Dirk Godlinski, Christian Werner, Matthias Müller, Ingo Wirth, Matthias Busse
The protection of plagiarism demands on new solutions for customized surface and product modification. Printing technologies like ink-jet or aerosol printing are used not only for printing graphics. The printing of electronic structures using nano-particulate dispersions as functional inks followed by a thermal consolidation process for full functionality is of special interest. For a protection of plagiarism often very small structures are of special interest. INKtelligent printing® combines the structuring possibilities of printing technologies like ink-jet or aerosol printing with the functionality of nanomaterials to generate protective structures like hidden bar codes, the structuring of special fluorescence materials or RFID - antennas for product identification to name only a few examples.

Chemistry Routes to Anti-counterfeit Technology
Prof. L. Lin & Dr. W. Hé
Uniqueness of features is essential to any successful anti-counterfeit technology. Unique features could be achieved via a number of routes including mechanical engineering, optical engineering, electronic engineering, computer science, material science and chemistry. This paper will focus on development of anti-counterfeit technology based on unique features created through the use of materials obtained via challenging organic syntheses. Such unique features are mainly of overt nature. One challenging aspect of developing a commercially successful anti-counterfeit technology is the application of materials to the intended substrate/assembly. As such, this paper will also deal with various challenges associated with printing of anti-counterfeit materials. The paper will conclude with an outlook on future directions of anti-counterfeit technology through materials/chemistry routes.

Fighting Fakes and Products Diversion with Unique Invisible Security
Peggy Studer, Rolic Technologies Ltd.
Second level identification features are definitively attractive for authentication purposes as the inspection of the product requires special equipment, such as a polarizer. Easy-to-read security elements that can be individualized are particularly desired due to the uniqueness of the information they contain. This talk reports the implementation and advantages of such security coatings comprising a latent, polarized image based on liquid crystal coatings prepared by photo-induced surface alignment. A new process for the manufacturing of these security elements within short production times was recently validated and is expected to revolutionize the world of covert features. Applications for these individualized covert features are various and range from bar-codes for Track&Trace purposes that are readable with commercially available bar-code scanners, to ID pictures with high resolution quality.

Legally Binding Identification of Products via Colour Codes
Angelika Rayak, Simons Druck & Vertrieb GmbH, Germany
The Micro Color Code ranks among the world's most comprehensive, effective, and multifaceted means for identifying original products, and serves as decisive evidence in international product liability cases.
At the heart of the color codes are microscopic particles of a melamine alkyd polymer, which are thermally and chemically highly resistant. And they come in a very useful size range of just 0.005 to 0.045 mm (5-45 µm). Produced as a sandwich of 4-11 different colored layers, each 0.001 mm thick, one can thus display a total of 4.35 billion basic color codes. In fact, a mere five particles are enough to identify the original product from a counterfeit.
The color codes can be produced as standard paints, or as infrared, UV, or magnetic coatings, or various combinations - opening the doors for unlimited applications. In a fully integrated production process, they can be applied on, admixed with, or added to a product.
Depending on the requirements and materials involved, iether the product, its packaging, label or both can be secured. The color codes are easily read and verified under a microscope or with an automatec reader. This universally applicable forensic anti-counterfeit system can also be integrated into existing systems, in particular for tracking the movement of goods.
