Definitions
- Security paper incorporating conductive fibers detectable by microwave radiation and method of manufacturing such paper.
- the present invention relates to a security paper comprising electrically conductive fibers, detectable by microwave radiation and a method of manufacturing such paper.
- the invention relates to a security paper incorporating conductive fibers dispersed within the structure of the paper, the length of which is between 3 and 15 mm and the diameter is between 1 and 30 ⁇ m.
- the presence of the conductive fibers in the paper makes it possible to identify the latter by reflection of microwave radiation emitted by an appropriate device.
- Publication FR- ⁇ -2 425 937 discloses a process for manufacturing a security paper in which metal fibers are mixed with the mass of paper fibers before the sheets are formed.
- the fibers closest to the surface of the paper are thus visible to the naked eye when the paper is light in color and they detract from the aesthetics, which can even blur the impression.
- the fibers give the paper a mottled appearance that makes it look like recycled paper, which is widely available commercially and which counterfeiters can use to make fakes.
- a method which consists of incorporating the metal fibers no longer into the mass of the paper fibers before the sheets are formed but by deposition between two jets of paper then assembled to form a sheet in which the fibers are confined at mid-thickness, therefore masked by paper fibers and invisible in reflected light.
- a method requires the implementation of a relatively complex and expensive two-jet technology.
- the object of the invention is in particular to propose a new paper overcoming the drawbacks of known papers incorporating dispersed conductive fibers.

- the application of a masking coating on the metal can be carried out by various methods.
- the metallic fibers used to constitute the core of the conductive fibers are immersed in a bath of a reagent in a first chemical state, comprising in suspension particles of a pigment or in solution molecules of a dye, and causing the reagent to pass into a second chemical state in which it constitutes a binder serving to fix the pigment particles or the dye molecules on the fibers.
- said reagent is an amino polysaccharide hydrolyzed and a condensation reaction is carried out in contact with the fibers to fix particles of a pigment or molecules of a dye; in the case where the paper is white or slightly tinted, a pigment such as titanium dioxide is advantageously used.
- the metal fibers intended to constitute the core of the conductive fibers are coated with a layer of a metal by electrolytic deposition, the metal thus deposited giving the fibers a color close to the color of the paper.
- the metal used to coat the core of the conductive fibers is advantageously silver or aluminum which each present, after electrolytic deposition under appropriate operating conditions, a milky appearance.
- the metal deposited on the core of the conductive fiber is the same as that constituting the core of the conductive fiber.
- the metallic fibers intended to constitute the core of the conductive fibers are coated with a layer of an oxide or of a salt by electrolytic deposition, the presence of this oxide or of this salt giving the conductive fibers a color close to the color of the paper.
- nickel sulphate is advantageously deposited.
- the surface of the metallic fibers is oxidized, taking care that the presence of the oxide obtained gives the fibers a color close to that of paper.
