Pulp for banknotes

Long fiber annual plants, such as cotton, hemp, flax and sisal enable the production of especially robust and sophisticated papers as they provide very resistant cellulose with exceptional strength. Twin-screw processing is ideal for making these paper pulps because it ensures consistent quality and specific features to achieve the distinctive  “look-and-feel” that people expect. In addition, the extrusion process for banknotes makes it easier to include watermarks, security threads or chemical tracers at the papermaking phase to produce security banknotes that are difficult to counterfeit.
