Independent from the mechanical stress on the surface
Due to the fact that the marker is dissolved in the bulk of the raw material and determined based on a bulk effect, mechanical stress at the surface cannot damage the marker. This is a major advantage over holograms, RFID chips or other labels on the surface of a product. Insofar our marker is able to permanently mark brake pads for instance, a product whose surface is extremely stressed both mechanically and thermally.
Proof, even after fire
POLYSECURE markers can be produced to a temperature stability of at least 1.700°C and therefore be determined even after a fire when there is nothing left but ash. Imagine a fire caused by a short-circuit of a fake low-quality electric plug. In a case of product liability, the manufacturer of the original product could still prove that it had not been his plug.
Applications in the high temperature range
Due to the high thermal stability of the marker even products exposed to high temperatures can still be marked. Such products as catalysts, burners etc. are often of high value and thus a likely target of counterfeiting.
