Patent · Tue Mar 26 00:00:00 EDT 2013

OSTI ID:1083021

Lewis, Linda A.; Allgood, Glenn O.; Smithwick, III, Robert W.

A taggant composition including a taggant material that is invisible in light of the visible spectrum and fluoresces under a non-visible excitation energy, a binder, and a solvent in which the taggant material and the binder are dissolved. The taggant composition can be printed or otherwise applied to a material such as fabric to provide a detectable and identifiable indicium. A method and apparatus for detecting and decoding the taggant indicium are also provided.
