Advancements in Anti-Counterfeiting Ink Technology

Anti-counterfeiting ink refers to the ink with anti-counterfeiting performance, most of the anti-counterfeiting ink is formed by adding special properties and special functions of anti-counterfeiting materials to the ink binder, and the ink is processed by a special process, which can produce color changes and dynamic changes under certain conditions, or present a specific recognition reaction under specific equipment. The change of security inks is usually repeatable, producing changes under certain conditions and can also be restored under certain conditions.

The characteristics of anti-counterfeiting ink technology include: simple implementation, flexible application, good concealment, usually with more convenient inspection methods, and can have both anti-counterfeiting, aesthetics and artistry.

Anti-counterfeiting ink technology is the preferred anti-counterfeiting technology for different levels of anti-counterfeiting needs such as banknotes, tickets and trademarks in various countries. As a traditional anti-counterfeiting technology, in the new era, it has gradually derived more novel application methods, including the combined application of different anti-counterfeiting inks, the application combined with the matching anti-counterfeiting process and anti-counterfeiting design techniques, and the application combined with Internet informatization. The development and application direction of anti-counterfeiting ink technology in the new era pays more attention to the aesthetics and artistry of products, and pays more attention to the user's experience.

Anti-counterfeiting ink technology involves many fields such as optics, chemistry, electromagnetism, spectroscopy, etc., in order to meet different uses and needs, more and more types of anti-counterfeiting inks have appeared.

Trust colors can provide Optical Variable inks, Magnetic optical variable inks, Thermochromic inks, Photochromic inks, Liquid Crystal Inks, and hydrochromic inks; Ultraviolet fluorescent inks, infrared up conversion inks, daylight excitation color-changing inks, infrared absorption inks, infrared reflective inks, etc.
