Through its security and surveillance divisions, Nanotech Security Corp. has been a leading innovator in the design and production of advanced banknote and commercial branding security and authentication products. Nanotech's KolourOptik® and Plasmogram™ products are nanotechnology based optical imaging product platforms originally inspired by the unique optical properties of the iridescent wings of the Blue Morpho butterfly. Our nano-optical products produce intense, high definition optically-variable images and colour-shift optical thin films.
