Sun Chemical's Verigard security product is a proprietary machine-readable covert taggant system used to protect some of the world's most recognized consumer products from counterfeiting and diversion. Verigard is Sun Chemical's highest level security system and authenticity is ensured by using the V400 handheld reader. Other covert, machine-readable authentication products are available such as inks or coatings to address counterfeit, diversion, and smuggling issues. Products yield a distinct "signature" and are detected by a small reading device.
