Widely recognized as a breakthrough in polymer substrate technology, POLYSECURE® SHIELD is the world's first polymer banknote substrate to integrate an optically variable (OVD) foil directly into the substrate itself – a significant step forward from traditional surface-applied features.

Polysecure® SHIELD, developed by Q&T Hi-Tech, marks a significant advance in polymer banknote technology by integrating security features directly into the banknote itself — marking a significant change from conventional polymer bases.

Polysecure® SHIELD raises the bar for durability, security, and design flexibility. By embedding advanced optical security features directly into the substrate, the technology eliminates key vulnerabilities of traditional surface technologies – providing a next-generation solution for central banks looking for strong, durable, and visually impactful banknotes.

What is particularly impressive is the durability and sustainability of the solution. While conventional OVD foils can quickly degrade due to abrasion, moisture, UV exposure or pollution, POLYSECURE® SHIELD preserves both the visual brightness and structural integrity of the voxels over time.

POLYSECURE® SHIELD also offers significant manufacturing advantages, including a flat surface that allows for full printability and seamless design integration. The technology is highly compatible with existing manufacturing processes, allowing central banks to adopt the technology without disrupting existing workflows.

At the recent Currency Conference in Bangkok, the technology attracted great interest from the industry due to its technical advantages. POLYSECURE® SHIELD technology was found to exceed all durability standards and represents a significant step forward in the development of secure, high-performance banknote substrates.

Feedback from Central Banks and independent experts on POLYSECURE® SHIELD technology has been overwhelmingly positive, highlighting both the innovative nature of the feature and the impressive speed with which the new product was developed and brought to market.
