TagSpheres, the secret in-mass additive to prove components origins
TagSpheres is an invisible anti-counterfeiting solution to be embedded into the material of your products and particularly adapted to polymers, technical coatings and active ingredients.
It allows to prove without ambiguity that a product or component is a genuine one and supports you in eliminating illegitimate quality claims. Failures or premature breakages will no longer be attributed to your product in case of doubts about components origins or on the correct dosage of an ingredient.
