HOSTAPHAN™ polyester films for security applications

A banknote is subject to very high requirements. It must be both durable and safe. These requirements are continually increasing to ensure security against counterfeiting.

HOSTAPHAN™ films are incorporated into banknotes in the form of security threads or used as transfer films for holograms that are transferred to banknotes. Thus, they contribute to increasing counterfeit protection.
