As a global leader in the field of secure synthetic papers, PPG has earned the trust of governments that specify TESLIN® substrate for high-security credentials such as national identification cards, social security cards, drivers’ licenses and e-Passports. Contributing to the success of these programs, TESLIN substrate is a unique microporous material that delivers inherent security and exceptional durability in identity travel documents and other secure credentials.

Used in more than a billion secure credentials worldwide for more than 25 years, TESLIN substrate is a cost-effective material solution with proven field performance for state-of-the-art high-security document programs. Its superior flexibility and bondability, makes TESLIN substrate the perfect material to meet the high security and durability requirements of government (e)ID card programs and SMART cards.

TESLIN substrate is available with covert and forensic security features for program-specific substrate options, and offers tamper-evident security by permanently distorting if alteration is attempted.

TESLIN substrate is also used in the majority of biometric passports issued worldwide, remaining the ideal choice for producing e-Passport inlays. This is because it is formulated with a microporous matrix that cushions and protects electronics to significantly extend document service life.
