Fuel Authentication and Dilution Detection for Tax and Regulatory Compliance
Detect and prevent counterfeiting, dilution, and unauthorized distribution with carbon based taggants dispersed at trace levels in fuels and lubricants. Microtrace solutions also secure packaging for full supply chain authentication.
Authentication and Traceability from Source to Sale
Microtrace delivers covert taggant and QR code solutions to protect fuels and lubricants at every stage. From product-level marking to packaging authentication, we help safeguard product integrity, verify source, and defend against liability risks.
- Covert taggants for in-product authentication
- Secure packaging with field-verifiable identifiers
- Detection with mobile, field, or lab-based equipment
Liquid Marking with Molecular Taggant Systems
Our carbon-based Molecular Taggants enable high-sensitivity detection in fuels, oils, and lubricants at parts-per-billion (ppb) levels.
- Uniform dispersion in liquid hydrocarbons
- Yes/no verification and dilution quantification
- Detection with field kits or lab-based instruments
- Powered by Alerion™ Classification for confident analysis
Complete Authentication for Product and Packaging
Microtrace delivers multilayered security for both fuels and packaging. From trace-level in-product markers to mobile-verifiable packaging features, our technologies provide field-ready traceability at every stage.
In-Product Authentication
Covert chemical taggants enable direct marking of fuels and lubricants for verification with mobile or lab-based tools.
- Molecular Taggant™ – Carbon-based markers for
traceability at parts-per-billion (ppb) levels - DNA Taggants – Unique biological markers for
forensic-level validation - Alerion Classification Technology – Advanced
analysis of molecular signatures for confident
detection
Packaging & Platform Security
Packaging-level authentication provides a critical first line of defense and enables mobile validation across the supply chain.
The Summit™ Authentication Platform integrates:
- Unique identifiers: Spectral Taggant™ or Encrypted QR codes
- Flexible detection: mobile app, web plug-in, or
handheld spectrometer - Real-time results across the value chain
Taggant Options for Packaging:
- Spectral Taggant™ – Covert optical signatures for
secure, field-based detection - IR-to-IR Phosphors – Invisible identifiers triggered
and read via infrared light - Encrypted QR Codes – Copy-protected digital
identifiers for offline authentication - Microtaggant® Identification Particles – Microscopic
codes for lot-level traceability - Enhanced Phosphors – Multi-color responses for
visual verification - IR-Visible Phosphors – Overt features viewable
following infrared excitation for consumer-facing
applications
Protect Product Integrity. Secure the Supply Chain.
Microtrace authentication solutions are trusted in regulated fuel systems and extreme environments. Whether marking fuels, securing lubricant packaging, or building an end-to-end traceability platform, we help you implement systems that perform in the real world.
