Microtrace
Taggant Technologies

Microtrace offers a wide variety of taggant technologies including the industry leading Microtaggant. Name a material or substrate you want tagged, and we offer unique taggant applications to satisfy every encoding, detecting and reading need. Microtrace's solutions provide multiple levels of security and are used to covertly track, trace and authenticate materials for everything from National Security to brand protection.

Microtaggant Identification Particles

The original and most advanced taggant technology available.
Microtaggant Identification Particles

Microtaggant encoded particles magnified hundreds of times – actual particle size down to 20 microns

Microtrace Taggant Technologies
Energy Sensitive
All can be incorporated in Microtaggant particles		 Microtrace Microdots
IR Phosphors - There are several types of IR Materials:
  • IR to IR
  • IR to Visible - Green, Red, Blue, Orange
  • IR to IR Specific

Spectral Responsive - Several types of spectrally responsive materials can be used to create unique spectral signatures.


Elemental - Used to provide a unique signature when interrogated by Xray analysis.

Microtrace has enhanced this alphanumeric technology to incorporate 2-D encoded barcodes within the alphanumeric information allowing for machine reading and verification with hand held readers.

For your covert track, trace, security identification and authentication applications look no further than Microtrace. With over 20 years in the business, we have a proven track record and experience that no other anti-counterfeit company can compare to for positive identification solutions.
Anti-counterfeit technology that incorporates multiple levels of security into a single particle. This is accomplished through DNA technologies, nanotechnologies, elemental codes, spectral signatures, chemical markings. Color codes, forensic markers, and covert invisible markers. Anti-stokes, up-converting phosphors, down converting phosphors, raman signatures, micro-tag, spectral codes, micro-tag,quantum dots, UV materials and IR materials may also be used. RFID tags (radio frequency identification tags) do not offer security to protect against product counterfeiting or diversion. Compounded plastic resins. A traceable, anti-counterfeit technology that incorporates multiple technologies into a single microscopic particle. Highly versatile in its use and application. May be incorporated in plastics, films, adhesives, holographic films, labels, inks, directly into products. manufacturer, covert security, overt security, anti-counterfeit technology, 3M technology, machine readable, security thread, fluorescent, IR, security fibres, micro-printing, fluorescent ink, microscopic encoded particle, non organic, molecular fingerprint, anti-terrorism technology, multiple levels of security, Microtrace, semi conducting nanocrytals, nanotechnology, raman shift, nanobarcode, quantum dots, qdots, nano materials, 3M, phosphorescent additives, unique illumination, brand protection, microscopic barcode, spectral signature, anti-counterfeit, micro-tag, micro-tagging, fluorescent, IR, UV, phosphor, RFID, infrared material, invisible code, forensic marker, chemical DNA, unique codes, DNA encoded marker, microscopic code particle, microscopic color-coded particle, micro-tag, DNA codes, synthetic DNA, spectral code, raman code, chemical marking technology, unique codes, chemical coding, color shifting ink, DNA technology, nanocrystals, optical pigments, dyes, unique fingerprint, unique identifier, phosphor, unique codes, fluorescent, IR, micro-tag, unique codes.
