This paper introduces the Standardized Polymer Decontamination Protocol (SPDP), a proactive maintenance model designed for high-volume banking environments. It addresses the operational impediment of adhesive contamination on polymer currency, which causes mechanical failures in sorters and scanners. By implementing a supervised 70% isopropyl cleaning process at the point of entry, institutions can reduce technical service costs from 407. 00 per incident to 2. 50, projecting annual network savings of over 38M per 1, 000 branches.
