SECURITY DOCUMENT WITH THE SECURITY THREAD STORED IN IT AND METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION AND AUTHENTICITY TESTING OF THE SECURITY DOCUMENT.

摘要

In order to increase the protection of security documents such as ban notes, etc., against forgery, security threads are embedded in the document which have at least two areas extending in the longitudinal direction of the thread and differing in their physical properties. The thread is preferably a coextruded multicomponent synthetic thread whose individual components contain additives such as dyes or fluorescent substances and/or particles having electrical or magnetic properties. The testing of the authenticity of the security thread is directed toward the presence of these additives and their mutual geometrical distribution in certain areas of the security thread.
