Counterfeits Drain Off Profits and Performance

The success of the energy industry depends on maintaining consistent quality of the fuel security throughout the global supply chain, particularly at the petrol station or other consumer POS.

Fuel Security is undermined by systematic piracy:

• Counterfeits of genuine products
• Dilution of the original product before it reaches the consumer
• Manipulation of fuel meters to inflate profits or evade taxes

Besides financial loss, these tactics may also result in poor product performance, damaged engines and malfunctioning fuel monitors.

In one country where Inksure tested its fuel security technology, piracy is costing the government six billion dollars a year.

Inksure's cutting-edge covert taggant technology has proven successful in tagging fuel products throughout the global supply chain, enabling brand protection and fuel security.

The Inksure Advantage: Taggant Technology

1. The cost-effective Inksure brand protection solution provides total fuel brand protection with a concentration of just one part taggant per million (ppm).
2. The lightweight tester performs field inspections instantly and accurately.
3. Only a teaspoon of fuel is needed for a complete fuel authentication, including the exact percentage of dilution.
4. Inksure fuel security additives are proven to be inert and do not affect engine performance.
5. When applied as a meter seal, the Inksure taggant will last for the life of the meter, and provide forensic-level evidence even if the meter is destroyed.

The Inksure Track Record

A successful pilot project, executed in a country with a population of 70 million, dissolved Inksure's fuel taggant in its gasoline, and demonstrated the efficiency of Inksure brand protection for fuel at one part per million. Laboratory tests showed that engine performance was unaffected by the Inksure taggant additive, even after more than 40,000 hours (the equivalent of 240 million kilometers).

Inksure specialists stand ready to advise you on the integration of FuelSure into your fuel supply, energy meters and energy products, for global brand protection.
