- Since 2017, at Particular Materials we have been synthetizing functional nanomaterials using our patented continuous flow process based on supercritical water. ElemenTag, our latest technology, represents a radical innovation for supply-chain traceability and anti-counterfeiting. By using nanoparticles as inorganic fingerprints that can be applied to virtually any product or material, we can guarantee its authenticity in a quick and reliable way by scanning it with an XRF handheld gun. ElemenTag overcomes the main limitations of traditional traceability technologies (QR / barcodes, NFC, RFID, holograms): it is completely invisible to the naked eye, doesn’t alter the appearance nor the mechanical performance, can be fully embedded in the product or material, is extremely hard to replicate, is processing-resistant, has high-encoding capacity and a simple point-and-shoot type of detection that requires no technical competence.
