Free Information On Laser Colour Change Technology
Sherwood Technology, the colour change specialist, has made availabile a new free presentation on the company's Datalase and Digivu products.
Sherwood was selected to win the anti-forgery category due to its development of a secure, laser-activated colour change chemistry.
The colour change process induces an irreversible chemical change in the material by the application of an external laser source, which is accompanied by a change of colour in the material.
The resultant image or mark cannot be tampered with at any stage in the supply chain process, said Sherwood.
Andrew Jackson, applications marketing manager of Sherwood, commented: "We are extremely pleased to have won this award.
It is exciting that the significance of our solutions is being acknowledged by the security industry." Based on the colour change technology, Sherwood has launched its DigiVU range of products which provide sophisticated, high level features for the protection of documents, products and brands.
The PISEC Industry awards have previously featured winners from companies such as 3M, Microsoft and Intel.
The awards recognise outstanding achievement in the development of innovative products for the prevention of counterfeiting, theft and forgery within the supply chain.
Five categories are rewarded including outstanding achievement in the development of authenticity products; outstanding achievement in tamper evidence innovation; excellence in anti-forgery technologies; RFID for product protection and a trade award for promoting 'Best Practice' in product and brand protection.
PISEC stressed the need for the protection of information from alteration, whether it is on identity documents or other products and that it is a prerequisite in security design and construction.
The anti-forgery technology award was developed to recognise and promote innovative anti-forgery devices that raise the standard in this information protection. Request a free brochure from DataLase ...
