Optically Variable Colorants

Prizmieres' Optically Variable Colorants are based on the science of diffractive optical structures. The color viewed changes due to the type and amount of light striking the platelets, and the angle of view .

Precise technologies calculate the specific measurement of color travel thru the visible spectrum,ensuring consistency and authentication. (X-rite Multi Angle Spectrphotometer- MA 98)
( ASTM D 2244 )

Platlette particle size, and distribution, are continuously monitored, controlled and measured via exacting science .(Horiiba Lazer Particle Size Analyzer- LA -950 ) and ( Lab Jet Sieve )

Prizmieres' OVC's cannot be photocopied or scanned, nor can they be accurately replicated or reproduced. OVC's may be incorporated into paints, printing inks, plastics & coatings for vivid color travel effect, or as a security device and anti-counterfeiting measure on labels, money, credit cards, government issued identification cards...
