A beam of invisible 365nm UV light shines on a blank label, and a bright, striking red glow instantly appears — this is no magic trick. It is the strongest technological shield protecting product credibility today, and the fulfillment of a childhood promise I’ve spent over 30 years keeping.

I still vividly remember that childhood afternoon. I took a 20-yuan note to buy a “fancy” toy and some candy from a street vendor, and came home with 10-yuan change. But my father told me the change was counterfeit. At that moment, anger, shame, and helplessness overwhelmed me, and I burst into tears. I hated the people who made counterfeit money with all my heart. A vague yet firm thought took root in my mind: I must do something in the future to leave no room for fraud.

Today, as the  ”365nm Organic UV Fluorescent Red Pigment” developed by the Topwell team is applied to products worldwide, I know that childhood oath is now illuminating reality in the form of technological light.

1 The Invisible Guardian: Ordinary in Daylight, Dazzling Under UV

The core of anti-counterfeiting technology lies in being easy to identify and hard to replicate. Our UV fluorescent pigment is the perfect embodiment of this concept.

Under ordinary natural or indoor light, it may appear as a nearly colorless mark or blend into the light-colored background of packaging, attracting no attention at all. This is its first line of defense — concealment.

However, when illuminated by a precisely calibrated 365nm UV flashlight (now widely available), a miracle happens in an instant. The hidden pigment is “awakened” by the UV light of a specific wavelength, emitting bright, vivid red fluorescence (with an emission wavelength of approximately 610–612nm).

This stark contrast from “completely invisible” to “vividly visible” creates the most intuitive and undeniable criterion for judging authenticity. This identification method requires no professional knowledge and is accessible to everyone — exactly the “truth-revealing mirror” I longed for as a child.

2 The Depth of Technology: More Than Just a Beam of Light

Behind that beam of red light lie rigorous technical specifications and sophisticated formula science. Our Y3A to Y3E pigment series each has its own strengths:

• Some models pursue ultimate brightness and color saturation, ideal for scenarios requiring strong visual impact.
• Others enhance solvent and temperature resistance, ensuring stable performance in complex ink systems and high-temperature processing.
• Still others are optimized for light aging resistance, guaranteeing that marks remain effective for years.

Even if counterfeiters understand the principle, they cannot replicate the exact raw materials and process formulas. This technological gap allows the product to be used not only in high-end scenarios such as currency anti-counterfeiting threads and passport visa pages, but also to meet diverse needs, including luxury packaging, premium wine labels, pharmaceutical seals, and certificate documents — forming a second solid line of defense.

3 The Wisdom of Application: Integrating into All Things, Safeguarding Trust

The best anti-counterfeiting seamlessly integrates into the product life cycle. With excellent compatibility, our UV fluorescent pigment is now safeguarding various industries:

• High-end anti-counterfeiting printing: Added in micro-doses to special inks to print invisible brand logos, exclusive patterns, or serial numbers. Both consumers and inspectors can verify authenticity on the spot with a UV light — a low-cost, high-efficiency solution.
• Industry and quality inspection: Added to plastic masterbatches or coatings, it enables the deduction of production processes by detecting the uniformity of fluorescence distribution, or supports non-destructive testing of precision parts to expose tiny cracks without hiding.
• Cultural and creative industries & consumer goods: From invisible murals in sci-fi theme parks and fluorescent makeup at music festivals, to “mystery ink” in children’s science toys — it creates surprises while conveying the concept of anti-counterfeiting.
