KURZ Moves on With KINEGRAM DYNAMIC®

Foil and thin film technology company KURZ has been a pioneer in the use of diffractive optical anti-counterfeit features on banknotes since its earliest developments on the French franc, the Australian dollar and the Austrian shilling. Its acquisition of OVD Kinegram (OVDK) in 1999 added access to proprietary optical features to its existing strengths in materials technology. And now KURZ has made another ground-breaking step forward with OVDK to introduce its latest optical technology, KINEGRAM DYNAMIC®.

In its more than 30 years’ experience of making and applying diffractive materials to banknotes (and many other secure documents of value), KURZ has established a modular banknote protection strategy which takes into account, amongst others, the form factor (patch, stripe, embedded), the degree of metallisation (all the way to zero tolerance between the diffractive feature and the metal area – the so-called KINEGRAM ZERO.ZERO) and unique KURZ technologies (such as KINEGRAM REVIEW® technology shows different images when viewed from the front and from the reverse).
