(PCC), Calumet, Ill., introduced its new MiBatch anti-counterfeiting resins/taggants that are added to plastics master- batches during compounding. For use in thermoplastic packaging and other products, they are said to be compatible with a wide variety of resins to impart an extremely high level of security and verifcation. MiBatch resin taggants are mixed into the plastic material so that authentication of the product can be done at every level of the supply chain. These markers are created through a patented spray pyrolysis process that can produce spherical particles of a wide range of compositions. While these taggants are easy to authenticate, they are very diffcult for criminals to detect and replicate, according to PCC. They are said to function consistently under a wide range of environmental conditions without affecting product performance. PCC formulates these markers for each client. XRF (X-ray fuorescence) and handheld or inline laser detection equipment can "read" the embedded taggant signature and verify authenticity of the polymer, product, or component. The detection systems are tuned to look for specifc elements and combinations for the unique taggant.
