SigNature DNA has been created from modified, natural plant DNA. It’s an anti-counterfeit technology that provides forensic evidence of authenticity, via laboratory and expert witness, and it’s available via the Textile Centre of Excellence. The point of marker application will depend on your production/processing operation. Usually, you will be able to add SigNature DNA to your product at the yarn or fabric manufacturing stage (via a lick-roller or at a cloth finishing stage, for example) although we can advise you on the most cost-effective operation and discuss production tests.

From F1Q13 Results – Earnings Call Transcript

As we announced last year, we have begun marking metals with electric utilities and with large national railways in Europe. We expect this to be a growing market globally. We’ve also made great strides with textiles. Recently, we have begun with our partner, The Textile Centre of Excellence in Yorkshire to mark wool, yarn at the industrial level. This is quite an accomplishment and something we have worked towards for a number of years, being able to mark wool, yarn at the industrial level opens up the entire wool marketplace. And our partner located in the heart of this country is well positioned to help us, take advantage of this.

The new formulation we have developed, which allows us to mark wool at the industrial level can also be used to mark cotton. And we have therefore also begun marketing our services to UK cotton producers and to cotton producers abroad.

We’ve recently signed an agreement with the Scientific Society of the Egyptian Cotton Champions to start a pilot study to mark five tons of cotton at the ginning stage. This relationship has huge potential and we’re quite excited by the possibilities that represents. I will keep you updated as the study progresses.



Another exciting accomplishment in textiles is the recent successful completion of the feasibility study for a major producer at high performance, engineering compounds for the plastics side industry. We hope to be able to work with this company on a commercial scale as a result of our successful study.
