admin “If you can dream—and not make dreams your master; Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it.” -Rudyard Kipling saying is the inspiration for Doug Blakeway, Founder &Chairman of the Board, Nanotech Security Corp.
Mr. Blakeway, a serial entrepreneur, and founder of numerous successful companies have founded and leads Nanotech Security Corp. The companies founded by Mr. Blakeway ranged from service-oriented firms to high tech electronics and wireless manufacturing organizations. Mr. Blakeway is a director of Kanzen Capital Corp., and Wireless Industry Partnership Connector Inc., as well as a member of Simon Fraser University (SFU) Surrey – Business Advisory Council, and an Entrepreneur-in-Residence at SFU Venture Connection.
The World of Nanoscience
Nobel Prize winner Dr. Horst Störmer said that the nanoscale is more interesting than the atomic scale because the nanoscale is the first point where we can assemble something, philosophizing this into advanced nano-optic technology Nanotech make products which are uniquely recognizable.
Nano-optics retain different forms and works on different techniques. These elements consist of numerous nanoscale structures created in regular patterns on or in a material. Nano –optic technology consists of an array of tiny holes, it can literally be stamped into anything–even currency and pills. In whatever form, the act of creating the nanostructured material is transformative. And the process yields a surface that reflects light from ultraviolet all the way into the far-infrared, or wavelengths outside what we can see, but which can easily be read by machines.
Nanotech Security Corp. research create and produce nano-optic structures and colour-shifting materials used in authentication and brand enhancement applications across a wide range of markets including banknotes, tax stamps, secure government documents, and commercial branding. The patented origination process makes all products by Nantotech virtually impossible to replicate or reverse engineer. Also, these are comprised purely of nanoscale holes in aluminum – no dyes or pigments are involved in making that environment-friendly.
KolourOptik: 3 Element Security Pyramid
[mks_col][mks_one_half]Nanotech’s KolourOptik security platform uses advanced nano-optics for the most sophisticated security authentication on the market – it transcends barriers found in conventional holograms. KolourOptik technology is the first nanotechnology to seamlessly integrate into the commercial manufacturing process. And it is the first to encompass the “3 Level Conventional Security Pyramid”, Level 1 – Overt, Level 2 – Covert and Level 3 – Forensic; all-in-one product.
[/mks_one_half][mks_one_half]We know a successful quest is made up of many little steps. My job is to implement that vision with practical action and rigorous execution[/mks_one_half][/mks_col]
Colour Shift: Ultimate Authentication Technique
Colour shift by Nanotech is a colour shifting optical thin film. It has been the standard for document security for over two decades, ultimate in security yet is very simple to use. It is also one of the most durable overt security features, with little to no loss in its characteristics when crumpled.
Colour Shift is very difficult to simulate. In addition to involving extremely sophisticated production equipment, technology is challenging to manufacture and requires deeply specialized knowledge. It has excellent compatibility for longer-lasting banknote substrates as its characteristics experience little to no loss with wear and tear to the paper or polymer.
M²: New Technology for the New Age
Nanotech’s latest M² nano-optic technology produces ultra-HD images in an ultra-thin format suitable for integration into stripes and other surface applied features. M²seamlessly combines programmable movement with colourful iconography without the need for lenses, mirrors or diffractive gratings. M² sets a new standard in the authentication. The complex nano-technology behind M² ensures the shim cannot be reverse engineered, providing the ultimate level of security. M² works under virtually any lighting condition with 180-degree viewing.
