Abstract
Vapor permeable microcapsules filled with volatile perfluoroalkyl pentafluorosulfide and used to tag articles for the detection thereof.
Claims4
The method of detecting an article which comprises associating therewith, as a tag, vapor permeable microcapsules containing volatile perfluoroalkyl pentafluorosulfide, vapors of which diffuse through the walls of the microcapsules and are emitted into the atmosphere surrounding said article, and detecting the presence of said vapors in said atmosphere and thus the presence of said article.
An article having associated therewith, as a tag, vapor permeable microcapsules containing volatile perfluoroalkyl pentafluorosulfide, vapors of which diffuse through the walls of said microcapsules into the atmosphere surrounding said article.
Explosives or explosive devices containing or having associated therewith, as a tag, vapor permeable micro-capsules containing volatile perfluoroalkyl pentafluoro-sulfide as a detection taggant.
