our technology

Aurora Materials develops next-generation fluorescent tagging technologies designed to provide unmatched security, authentication and tracking solutions to safeguard high value and mission critical assets. Our proprietary fluorescent nanocomposites generate unique, non-replicable optical signatures, enabling secure identification and traceability across global supply chains.

Our ‘SCLE’ (pronounced ‘scale’) tags exhibit tuneable optical properties, providing both covert and overt marking solutions for defence, aerospace and high-reliability industries - where safety, security and regulatory compliance is essential.

By embedding SCLE into coatings and materials, our nanocomposites exhibit a secure, non-replicable optical signature, directly integrated into critical components.

Each tag is engineered for extreme durability, capable of withstanding harsh environmental conditions across air, sea and land domains.

By combining our materials technology with a cryptographically secure databasing solution, we enable increased supply chain transparency for vetted users, through a decentralised network.

Key features:

  • High security optical signatures: SCLE tags are encoded in a self-assembly chemical process, resulting in a materials with a unique chemical composition, with each batch exhibiting a specific, non-replicable light signature.

  • Modular Optical Properties: Customisable across a wide range of colours and frequencies, including visible, UV, and infrared (IR) light, our materials can be tuned to meet specific mission requirements.

  • Robust and Durable: Impervious to commercial solvents, SCLE tags are stable in adverse conditions including high temperatures, saline and acidic environments. They are designed to withstand harsh conditions across air, sea and land domains.

  • Versatile Applications: Compatible with various substrates, including metals, plastics, and textiles.

  • Integrated Services: Signals management, databasing and compliance support towards export controls and the US DoD 4140.67 Counterfeit Prevention Policy.

  • Our technology enables the creation of billions of unique luminescent signatures, giving our security partners a near-infinite number of options for secure tagging tailored to their specific needs.

    From covert UV markers to visible IR tags, SCLE offers a flexible and innovative solution for safeguarding your assets.

  • SCLE nanocomposites are engineered to withstand extreme conditions even in intense heat and exposure, providing robust and long-lasting performance.

    Our tags seamlessly integrate with a wide variety of surfaces, ideal for defence, national security and high reliability applications.

  • Produced using a self-assembly process, SCLE tags are assymetric to replicate or reverse-engineer.

    All SCLE materials are produced in Australia, through our soverign manufacturing capabilities, in partnership with UNSW.

  • Our technology offers a cost-effective, cutting-edge alternative to existing solutions to safeguard your assets against counterfieitng, tampering and diversion.
