VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 04, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Nanotech Security Corp. (TSXV: NTS) (OTCQX: NTSFF) (“Nanotech” or the “Company”), a leader in the development of secure and memorable nano-optic security features used in the government and banknote and brand protection markets, is pleased to announce its KolourDepth™ product was featured in BIN’s ‘Banknote Technology Report – 6’ as one of the new industry-leading security features for currency authentication.
The Banknote Technology Report by Banknote Industry News GmbH (BIN) is an annual industry report that details the latest technological developments from top global banknote security device manufacturers and is circulated to central banks and key decision makers in the banknote industry.Donald Scholz, Managing Director at BIN said, “When I saw KolourDepth samples for the first time, it was simple to trigger, and offered a high degree of freedom for design and customization. This type of innovation using novel technologies like nano-optics is exactly what the industry needs.” Titled ‘KolourDepth – A unique combination of multi-colour, 3D stereo depth and movement using Nano-Optics’, the article gives readers an insight into the combination of nano-scale plasmonic colouration and angular viewing of microstructures. This opens pathways to a variety of effects: static full colour imagery, simple colour-shifting films, complex 3D images, and movement that can be realized from a single layer of embossed aluminum-coated structures.

Based on Nanotech’s KolourOptik® nano-optic display technology, KolourDepth security foils and stripes deliver multiple colours and effects in a wide array of custom design options that capture and hold the user’s attention as they inspect and authenticate a banknote or government document. These security foils and stripes deliver enhanced security which are difficult to replicate due to Nanotech’s proprietary software algorithms and patented nanostructures, microstructures, and nano-fabrication techniques. KolourDepth is exceptionally thin (< 5 micron) and suitable for multiple application processes and substrates.Overt Banknote Security Features:Multiple 3D ElementsMultiple ColoursOmni-directional MovementOverprintingCovert Banknote Security Features:MicrotextNanotextNano-imageryMachine Readability“Multiple application types, proprietary and patented nano-fabrication techniques, high visibility and interactivity make KolourDepth products ideal anti-counterfeit security features for banknotes,” said Troy Bullock, President and CEO of Nanotech.
