Give your Plastics a Unique Identity
- Innovation
- Technology
The plastics industry faces a growing challenge: ensuring its traceability all along its lifecycle and serving anti-fraud, process control and data management.
From fraudulent parts in automotive and aerospace to non-compliant materials in consumer goods, the use of sub-standard plastics can lead to product failure, brand damage, and significant legal liability. As the demand for transparency and material authenticity increases, the need for a robust, reliable security solution has never been more critical.
At Olnica, we are redefining material integrity. Our innovative solution offers a unique way to protect plastic products by embedding an invisible, unalterable taggant directly into the material. This transforms plastic goods from a generic commodity into a secure, traceable asset, ensuring their authenticity throughout their entire lifecycle.
How Olnica Taggants Work in Plastics
Olnica solution, particularly our OLNITAG taggants, can be seamlessly integrated into a wide range of polymers during the extrusion or molding process. This process ensures that the taggant is a permanent, intrinsic part of the plastic material itself. This approach is far more secure than surface-level markings like holograms or QR codes, which can be easily replicated or removed.
- Integrated into the Masterbatch: Our taggants can be added to the masterbatch, ensuring a uniform distribution throughout the final plastic product. This provides a discreet layer of security that is impossible to tamper with.
- Detection and Authentication: Once integrated, the taggant is invisible to the naked eye. Its presence can be instantly detected and verified using a simple handheld reader (Olnica PocketLab). This provides a non-destructive way to confirm the authenticity of a product, a raw material, or even a component part on the production floor or in the field.
The Advantages for the Plastics Industry
By integrating Olnica's taggant technology, manufacturers can:
🛡️ Prevent Counterfeiting: Safeguard your products and brand reputation from fraudulent replication.
✅ Ensure Material Integrity: Guarantee the use of high-quality, compliant materials, protecting against material dilution and unauthorized substitutions.
🔗 Enhance Supply Chain Transparency: Gain end-to-end traceability from the polymer plant to the final product, helping you identify and resolve issues quickly.
⚖️ Mitigate Legal and Financial Risks: Protect your company from the liability and financial fallout associated with sub-standard or counterfeit materials.
