Dresden (euro adhoc) - November 28, 2008 - KSW Microtec AG successfully launched
Thinlam®, the contactless prelaminate for RFID card and government applications.
Thinlam® is the latest in a series of new products launched from KSW Microtec
this year, confirming the company´s position as dynamic innovator and setter of
standards in the RFID industry.

The new KSW Thinlam®, with a thickness down to 280µm, sets new standards for
card manufacturing. It enables manufacturers to produce HF and UHF RFID cards
with more layers, broadening the possibilities to integrate more security and
other high value features into cards. The exceptional thinness is achieved by
manufacturing the Thinlam® without chip modules - which also results in smoother
card surfaces and better printing outcome. Thinlam® maintains the highest
durability thanks to its unique patented chip connection technology. In
addition, due to the consistently reproducible antenna geometries, KSW Thinlam®
achieves tighter resonance frequency tolerances. Thinlam® can be manufactured on
PVC, Polycarbonate, PET or Teslin® and can also be used for transparent RFID
cards thanks to its excellent optical characteristics.

Thinlam® is the ideal solution for any contactless personal identification
application, where security, performance and design are important. Presented at
Cartes & Identification and at ID WORLD, it received great feedback from
partners, customers and visitors at both shows and is now available in volume
quantities.

Other major product introductions from KSW this year include the new eGO dual
frequency (HF/UHF) contactless transponder, the improved RFID-based VarioSens®
Label with integrated temperature sensor and the contactless payment RFID
sticker for mobile phones.

KSW combines in-depth technological expertise with the latest production
techniques and has established itself as one of the most efficient - and at the
same time most flexible - manufacturers of RFID components on the market. The
company maintains close relationships with its customers in order to provide the
highest quality RFID products that best suit the specific environments in which
they are used.
