Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of paper and more particularly that of banknotes.

- the paper is completely unstructured. It has numerous perforation points on the fatigue areas of the substrate subjected to repeated crumpling and folding. The internal structure of the note is severely dislocated; the fibers are untied and the result is an increase in the porosity of the sheet such that the thickness of the most degraded banknotes is almost doubled compared to the thickness original. The surface treatments or coatings disappear or fragment increasing the apparent porosity of the ticket surface.

- the measurements are carried out before and after 8 crumpling, carried out by a device of the IGT brand “NB S Crumbling Device”.
- a paper is produced from the base 2 to which a treatment B 'is applied.
- Treatment B ' corresponding to treatment B in which didecyl chloride dimethyl ammonium is replaced by silver chloride.
- the amounts of silver chloride and of 3-iodo-2-propynylbutyl carbamate in treatment B ' are determined so as to obtain, by dry weight relative to the fibrous substrate, 0.0036% of silver chloride and 0 , 15% of 3-iodo-2-propynylbutyl carbamate, ie a total of 0.1536% of biocide by dry weight relative to the fibrous substrate.
