Security Threads
There are two kinds of security threads. One is a thin aluminum coated and partly demetalized polyester film thread with microprinting which is embedded in the security paper as banknote or passport paper.
The other kind of security thread is the single or multicolor sewing thread made from cotton or synthetic fibers, mostly UV fluorescent, for the bookbinding of passport booklets.
