Tag-Test-Track Masterbatch Systems to be
Unveiled at the Synthetic Yarn Fiber Association on October 27,
2017
Applied DNA Sciences, Inc. (“Applied DNA,” “the Company,”
NASDAQ: APDN), has signed a new CertainT® trademark license
agreement with Techmer PM (“Techmer”), a respected producer of
value added colors and additives for the plastic and fiber
industries, and a long standing customer of Applied DNA’s
SigNature® T molecular tags. Techmer’s mission is to provide its
customers with the best technical support in “problem solving
designs for modifying the properties of base polymers.” In the
complex world of sustainability, Techmer has embraced Applied DNA’s
CertainT platform as a means to prove sustainable sources and
ensure product integrity and supply chain transparency.
“Masterbatches” are concentrated additives used to impart
qualities or colors to compounded plastics. With the implementation
of the CertainT trademark on its SigNature T molecularly tagged PET
or recycled PET masterbatch, Techmer is now able to illustrate to
its customers, potential customers and downstream supply chain
partners the ability to forensically interrogate its high quality
source material in all phases of the manufacturing process – from
source masterbatch pellet to the end product, allowing Techmer to
differentiate itself in a dynamic market.
John Manuck, CEO, Chairman and founder of Techmer stated,
“Innovation through collaboration enables our company to partner
with state of the art companies such as Applied DNA. A successful
21st century company must be adept at applying new technology
through the supply train. Leveraging new ideas and applying design
concepts are vital to future growth. Customers want to know where
their products were designed and manufactured, and we want to be at
the forefront in reliably providing that information.”
“Our new CertainT collaboration with Techmer through increased
use of our tag in their masterbatch programs will immediately help
their customers,” said Dr. James Hayward, President and CEO of
Applied DNA. “By expanding our existing relationship to include
trademark licensing, Techmer highlights the growing awareness and
adoption of our CertainT platform with a public-facing trademark
that stands for authenticity, transparency and performance.”
Applied DNA Sciences and Techmer will be co-presenting at the
Synthetic Yarn Fibers Association Fall Conference in Charlotte,
North Carolina on October 27, 2017.
