A: Microdots are tiny nickel particles, sized from 0.3 to 1 mm, with unique codes that can be read using a pocket microscope or mobile phone.
Q: How are microdots applied?
A: Microdots are brushed or sprayed onto various parts of the object to be marked, such as bicycles, motorbikes, electronics, and many others.
Q: How do microdots protect vehicles?
A: Thousands of microdots are applied throughout the vehicle to give it a second identity. It is impossible to remove all the microdots. Even if only one microdot is found, it allows authorities to identify the vehicle.
Q: What are the properties of nickel microdots?
A: Nickel microdots are versatile, durable, and secure. They can withstand harsh environmental conditions and high temperatures.
