Protect your products with anti-counterfeit additives
In an era where counterfeit measures are becoming increasingly sophisticated, maintaining the integrity of your branded products is more challenging than ever. An anti-counterfeit additive, used in the manufacture of plastic components, is a powerful tool in the fight against the piracy of consumer goods, from electronic devices to luxury items.
Broadway’s innovative anti-counterfeit additive offers a discreet yet effective way to safeguard your products. Our colourless additive can be easily incorporated into your existing plastic manufacturing process, without affecting the appearance or quality of the final product. This flexibility allows our anti-counterfeit additives to be included in various applications, ensuring that the protection is as broad as it is effective.
Don’t play a game of chance with your products
How does Broadway’s anti-counterfeit additive work?
Our anti-counterfeit additive is detectable using specific tools like a laser pen or an acoustic detector. These devices are designed to identify the presence of our additive within the plastic, easily distinguishing authentic goods from counterfeit ones. For counterfeit items, the detectors quickly reveal the absence of the additive, providing a clear and immediate indication of a fake product.
This feature is particularly valuable for brands that utilise specific colour masterbatches, as it ensures that only genuine materials are used in production. By integrating this additive into your brand’s specified colours, you not only protect your product from counterfeiting but also obtain further assurance in maintaining the consistency and integrity of your brand’s visual identity.

Supply options
We understand that each manufacturer’s needs are unique. That’s why we offer our anti-counterfeit additive in various forms. You can choose a stand-alone additive masterbatch, which can be used alongside your existing colour masterbatch stock, or opt for a combined masterbatch that includes both the additive and your custom colour. This integrated approach simplifies the production process by reducing the number of components that need to be dosed during manufacturing.
