Inks containing MatriX-Mark™ security taggants have proven their worth in several printing methods.

MatriX-OVI
Our MatriX-OVI cutting-edge optically variable inks are extensively used as a potent anticounterfeiting measure for many official documents and modern banknotes worldwide. The principle behind using OVI security inks, also known as color-shifting-inks, is to authenticate an official document or banknote and leverage their ability to reflect colors differently when viewed directly or at an angle. For instance, a number on a banknote will change color when viewed from different angles.
A significant advantage of using MatriX-OVI inks is the fact that these are substantially cheaper to deploy than holograms. Besides, these are a quick and easy way of validating banknote or document authenticity without the help of any fancy equipment
Matrix-OVI security inks are used for various applications like certificates, banknotes, ID cards, permits, deeds, packaging, cosmetics, and automobiles.
MatriX-Thermochromic Inks
Our MatriX-Thermochromic Inks are amongst the most extensively used of our range of security inks. The ability of thermochromic inks to react on account of changes in temperature by changing color makes them appropriate for many anticounterfeiting applications.
Our inks are available as reversible thermochromic inks and irreversible thermochromic inks. The reversible thermochromic inks can change from color to colourless at 5 – 50°C, or colour to colour at 50°C. The irreversible thermochromic inks can change from invisible to colour at 65°C, 80°C, 100°C, 120°C.
These inks can be used in smart packaging solutions for perishable foods indicating whether these are being kept at the correct food temperature. There are numerous marketing applications of color changing inks like in the case of glass and ceramic mugs or beer bottle labels with a thermochromic color printed on them that is invisible at room temperature and appears colored at different temperatures.
MatriX-Thermochromic Inks are available in a range of colors-red, black, blue, orange, green and magenta
MatriX-IR-UP Converter Ink
The MatriX-IR-UP converter inks contain particles that help convert infrared light into visible light. The choice of the IR upconverter pigment used for exposure to IR light will lead to visible colors like blue, orange, yellow, red and so on. This property of these inks comes in handy in protecting high-value documents against counterfeiting attempts. It provides enhanced security with regard to inorganic IR upconverter features. The fact that these particles or pigments can be applied in a range of ink colors makes them convenient for use in several printing technologies. A wide range of MatriX-IR-UP converter models means tremendous scope for using these to protect a wide range of products against sophisticated counterfeiting efforts.
The MatriX-IR-UP Converter Ink can be used to augment the security of passports, ID cards, tax stamps, certificates, warehouse receipts, electronic components, luxury items, and product markings.
MatriX-UV-Fluorescent Ink
The MatriX-UV-Fluorescent Ink advanced anti-counterfeit covert security solutions provide out-of-the-world security to high-value documents and products. The phenomenon of fluorescence is invisible in daylight and becomes apparent only in the presence of ultra-violet light and does not produce any afterglow making it ideal for deployment as a security-enhancing tool for anti-counterfeit measures. Our inks boast very bright UV-fluorescent pigments capable of high performance for extended periods. Visible in short as well as long UV fluorescent light, the particle size (Dv90) of these pigments comes in 500 nm to 15µm dimensions. These pigments can be applied in all ink colors (blue, red, orange, yellow, etc.) compatible with all printing technologies.
The MatriX-UV-Fluorescent Ink pigments are extensively used to provide anti counterfeit security to passports, banknotes, ID cards, tax stamps, certificates and so on.
MatriX-Mark ™ Hero Ink
Security inks lend themselves to mixing, just like visible colors do, to help provide bespoke security solutions for a range of products and high-value documents. For instance, our Hero Ink performs the functions of MatriX-Mark taggant combined with IR Up Converter with UV Fluorescence.
Likewise, combining OVI or Optically Variable Ink with MatriX-Mark taggants will provide a much more formidable level of security against sophisticated counterfeiting efforts. The OVI ink, which is an excellent overt security feature by itself can be further strengthened by integrating it with an ultra-covert security feature not visible to the naked eye. That will help provide rock-solid security on account of the fact that even if a counterfeiter sources the same OVI ink, they will not have access to the ultra-covert MatriX-Mark taggant. This kind of security upgrade will greatly assist law enforcement agencies in distinguishing between genuine and fake prints.
MatriX combinations of inks can help enhance the security of a slew of high-value documents and products to the next level.
