Particular Materials srl

Elementag is the nanomarker that blends into any material or product, to make it traceable, authentic and to fight against its counterfeiting. Since 2017, at Particular Materials we have been synthesizing functional nanomaterials using our patented continuous flow process based on supercritical water. Elementag, our latest technology, represents a radical innovation for supply-chain traceability and anticounterfeiting. By using nanoparticles as inorganic fingerprints that can be applied to virtually any material or product, we can guarantee its authenticity in a quick and reliable way by scanning it with an XRF handheld gun. Elementag overcomes the main limitations of traditional track & trace technologies (e.g. QR / barcodes, NFC, RFID, holograms): completely invisible to the naked eye, doesn’t alter the appearance nor the properties of the traced item, fully embedded (not a removable and damageable tag or label) and processing resistant (guaranteeing end-to-end traceability).
