According to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bankofengland.co.uk\/banknotes\/polymer\/Pages\/default.aspx\">bank\u2019s web site<\/a>, more plastic money is on the way; the\u00a0\u00a310 note will be issued in summer 2017 and the \u00a320 note by 2020.<\/p>\n<p>The bank boasts that polymer banknotes are more sanitary, last much longer, and are much more difficult to counterfeit than paper money, and they\u2019re not the first to have thought so. Polymer banknotes have been in use in Australia for decades and many other countries, including New Zealand, Canada, and Romania, rely on polymers for clean, recyclable, and easily verifiable currency. And apparently there is one more advantage to polymer banknotes if you\u2019re a vinyl record enthusiast\u2014<a href=\"http:\/\/www.plasticsnews.com\/article\/20161012\/BLOG08\/161019931\/money-money-money-and-music-music-music\">Plastics News<\/a> reports that someone discovered that the crisp, clean edges of the New Fiver can be used in place of a needle to play a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thermofisher.com\/blog\/materials\/welcome-back-vinyl-records\/\"> vinyl record<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Many banknotes are made from a\u00a0polymer\u00a0such as\u00a0biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP). The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polymersolutions.com\/blog\/canada-introduces-polymer-money\/\">Bank of Canada <\/a>makes its banknotes from\u00a0polyethylene terephthalate\u00a0(PET). PET is a strong, lightweight, transparent plastic commonly used to make drink bottles, cosmetic and food-grade packaging, and as a basic material for blood vessel implants.<\/p>\n<p>The process of fabricating polymer materials into currency starts with small polymer pellets that are melted and then stretched into a 5-story tall thin plastic \u201cbubble.\u201d At the bottom of the bubble, the polymer is cooled and gathered into rolls, where an infrared gauge checks that the polymer film has the correct thickness. The polymer sheets are wrapped into rolls, and then printed with the banknote design as well as security features that help to prevent counterfeiting. Watch this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polymersolutions.com\/blog\/plastic-money-gains-in-canada\/\">video<\/a> describing the polymer banknote manufacturing process.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thermofisher.com\/order\/catalog\/product\/PID10148801A\">Thickness sensors for web gauging<\/a> measure based on the absorption of light by the materials being scanned. Each material exhibits a unique light absorption characteristic and emits a signature waveform (spectra) as light passes through it. As material thicknesses change, the spectra will change throughout the infrared wavelength spectrum.<\/p>\n<p>Some sensors are designed to inspect the entire infrared spectrum to accurately measure thicknesses of both single layer and multilayer products. This technique enables the sensor to discriminate between different components even if they exhibit very similar IR absorption characteristics.<\/p>\n<p>Watch this video to see a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thermofisher.com\/order\/catalog\/product\/PID10123889B\">complete measurement and control system<\/a> for plastics films and packaging.<\/p>\n<p><em>Scroll down on page to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thermofisher.com\/order\/catalog\/product\/PID10123889B\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">watch the\u00a0<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thermofisher.com\/order\/catalog\/product\/PID10123889B\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">video<\/a>:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thermofisher.com\/order\/catalog\/product\/PID10123889B\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: left;border: 1px solid black;margin: 10px\" title=\"Plasticvideo to see a complete measurement and control system for plastics films and packaging.\" src=\"https:\/\/kapost-files-prod.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/direct\/1477491994-163-4110\/plasticvideo.jpg\" alt=\"video to see a complete measurement and control system for plastics films and packaging.\" width=\"200\" height=\"115\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thermofisher.com\/us\/en\/home\/global\/forms\/industrial\/web-gauging-ebook-registration-form.html?icid=CAD_MM_Gauging_FeaturedWebGaugingEBook_blog\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10208\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thermofisher.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/04\/CAD-Web-Gauging-eBook-E-Signature-Banner-700x125b.png\" alt=\"Download free web gauging ebook\" width=\"700\" height=\"125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/admin.acceleratingscience.com\/materials\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/04\/CAD-Web-Gauging-eBook-E-Signature-Banner-700x125b.png 700w, https:\/\/admin.acceleratingscience.com\/materials\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/04\/CAD-Web-Gauging-eBook-E-Signature-Banner-700x125b-300x54.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In September this year, the Bank of England issued the \u201cNew Fiver,\u201d a \u00a35 note made of polymer.
