Description

Ink-jet ink composition and safe printing method
Invention field
The present invention relates to contain the ink-jet ink composition of tinting material or luminophor and energy active compound (for example sensitive materials).The ink-jet ink composition is used in stamped mark on the matrix, and energy following time that this mark is exposed to significant quantity changes, thereby for example makes tinting material change luminous or luminophor is changed.The invention still further relates to a kind of in matrix, for example carry out the composition and the method for security printing on metal, glass and the plastics, also relate to and a kind of luminophor (for example fluorescent chemicals) on the matrix can not be read out in colour-change, and then can check the composition and the method for this variation by vision.
Background of invention
For many purposes, printing ink is used for tagged items, for example, be used for determining its verity.This mark (for example, covert indicia) for example is used in the commodity that check will be sold on niche market.These marks are used for preventing to obtain higher profit by following manner: the commodity that will estimate to sell with lower price are with more high price sale.Covert indicia is used and is required this mark not seen by people's naked eyes usually, can not duplicate again after this mark is found simultaneously at all.Usually wish that after this security feature was understood, passivation had just taken place this security feature.For many reasons, this easy and predetermined passivation of mark is given in the security system that has this mark.At first, give this mark a bells and whistles---non-reproduction.Secondly, by passivation, after this mark was finished purposes in the secure network, it can not be transferred on other article or the position.The 3rd, the information that comprises in this mark is destroyed, and undelegated department can not understand or duplicate.
Passivation with security feature may be represented a kind of situation in the some kinds of situations.This situation for example is: these article of possessor of notice article can not be sold in specialized market.The Another reason that makes mark generation passivation is after article are converted to cash, makes these article no longer have value.
Also wish mark is used in production or the distribution condition to carry out process control.For example, can in central dispense equipment, carry out taxonomy of goods by reading identification marking with very high production rate.May also wish in process of production and will come with article difference through the article of a process through another process.Another example of process control is a process monitoring.For example, as the indicator on the product sealed vessel, so just make container be different from the container of disinfecting in a kind of general process control printing ink without this through disinfecting.These methods for example can be, and steam is induced or the method for ultraviolet induction.The color of ink indicia changes usually and the vision indication is provided: article have passed through this process.This visual monitoring may need the on-line operation personnel to come the on-line monitoring product.Therefore the progress that need indicate process with the printing ink and the mark of machine-can read.
Except the component that changes machine-can read, when not needing to read, also wish estimate the component that changes and be used for some application with machine.At present available can provide the mark system of range estimation and fluorescent flag all to need two kinds of independent printing ink, and every kind of printing ink has application apparatus separately.The printing ink that people wish to design a kind of multiple purpose that can be used for---for example colour-change and variations in light---, thus coloured component and fluorescent colorant (as, dyestuff) in unitary system, had simultaneously.Also wish two kinds of dyestuffs are changed simultaneously.So just can for example adopt mark on the jetted ink printing press at the production line that uses single application apparatus.People wish single liquid and single application apparatus are used in the security system structure very much, any forgery (breech) of total system---that is, is usurped liquid to other position---all can be discerned rapidly like this.
By luminous or have color marker can change in the process of Item Value or process status, require this mark not to be read.A kind of method of finishing this purpose is to fade, burn, and perhaps other passes through to apply the method that energy destroys this mark.Traditional dyestuff or pigment need not with the energy direct reaction that is applied.And the level of response between the used energy will depend on its intrinsic stability.When temperature was lower than about 600 ℃, many organic substances can decomposes.Many matrix, promptly plastics and paper are decomposing above beginning under about 150 ℃ temperature.The source of radiation that thermal source commonly used is made up of filament, this filament need feed electric energy and just can be heated.These thermals source are slow to the response of energy requirement, and operate with half-power ready mode usually in practice, and it can more promptly operate in this way.Owing to need to continue energy in ready mode, and the radiating calorific loss can cause inefficiency, and therefore for some automation processes, these equipment of the process of for example classifying on production line are also impracticable.People need that a kind of requirement is more low-yield to come operated system.
According to background technology, people have carried out providing prevailingly the trial of safety label, referring to for example, and United States Patent (USP) 6,441,380; 6,402,986; With 5,837,042.People need a kind of method that the distinctive mark can be provided, and require this mark to produce not can read phenomenon, also need a kind of being suitable in matrix, for example the inkjet ink composition that prints on the distinctive mark.

This luminophor can be coloured or colourless substance. In addition, this ink composite also can contain not luminescence colorant. In another embodiment, the invention provides a kind of ink composite that is applicable to ink jet printing, it comprises colouring agent, solvent and energy active compound. In energy lower time that this energy active compound is exposed to effective dose, can produce one or more active materials, and this active material can react with colouring agent in mark, thereby changes its a kind of or multifrequency nature. This colouring agent can be luminous or luminescent substance not.
When this energy active compound is exposed to lower time of energy of effective dose, it produces one or more materials, and this material reacts and then changes colouring agent and/or luminophor (for example luminescence colorant) and/or the feature of luminescence colorant not. Some contingent various reactions or effects have been described in signal among Fig. 1. For example, this reaction changes one or more characteristics or the character of colouring agent or luminophor, for example absorbs and/or emission characteristics. For example, in one embodiment, this reaction has changed absorbing wavelength. This reaction can change wavelength under the maximum intensity or the wavelength under the mean intensity. In one embodiment, this reaction can change emissive porwer or emission lifetime. When it changed emission wavelength, it can change the wavelength under the maximum emission intensity, perhaps changes the wavelength under the average emitted intensity. Emissive porwer is increased or reduce. When this reaction changes emission lifetime, emission lifetime is increased or minimizing. In one embodiment, this reaction changes the not Absorption Characteristics of luminescence colorant, for example, and absorbing wavelength or absorption intensity.

For example, this reaction can change the emissive porwer of luminescence colorant, perhaps changes the not absorbing wavelength of luminescence colorant. This reaction can change the not absorption intensity of luminescence colorant. This reaction can change the emission lifetime of luminescence colorant. This reaction can change the absorbing wavelength of luminescence colorant not or the absorption intensity of luminescence colorant not. If luminescence colorant and not luminescence colorant be present in simultaneously in the mark, then the change of luminescence colorant absorption characteristic also can not exert an influence to absorption or the emission characteristics of luminescence colorant. Can produce simultaneously luminous cancellation or luminous variation phenomenon, and one or more photochemistries can occur individually or simultaneously. Luminous and coloured component of the present invention can be same substance.
Following description is provided, and with it as definition. Luminously refer to any material owing to the excitation energy that absorbs photon, charged particle or chemical change form is launched visible or invisible radiation, but be not attended by high temperataure phenomena, the luminous fluorescence and phosphorescence that comprises. From energy point of view, fluorescence phenomenon is defined as the photon release phenomenon that electronics produces when the lowest vibration pattern of single line molecular-excited state transits to single line molecule ground state. According to the Laporte selection rule, transition is the phenomenon that produces relatively easily, and it can very rapidly occur after electron excitation. Therefore, excite and launch between the time interval---namely, decay time---very short, be generally 10-9-10 -7Second. When the transition in the phosphorescent glow is by three line molecular-excited states during to singlet, this phosphorescent glow can not be accepted by the Laporte rule, so phosphorescent glow is characterised in that and excites and the time interval between the emission is 10 again-5-10 1Second, but many hours phosphorescent glow of experience also is common for inorganic compound. Luminescence colorant of the present invention or compound can show fluorescence phenomenon or phosphorescent glow. Preferably, when using phosphorescent compound, it can produce luminescence phenomenon with rational quantum yield (that is,>0.1) under 40 ℃ room temperature. More preferably, when using phosphorescent compound, decay time is between 10-5-10 -2Between second. According to the present invention, term " colouring agent " refers to have any material of following characteristics: it is visible coloured or leuco-compounds, and its react or change after can become coloring matter.
Expand according to well-known McLaren, the fluorescent emission phenomenon (F) of the dilution fluorescent material that is recorded by spectrum relates to several parameters: F=K ε bcI, and wherein ε is molar absorption coefficient (extinction coefficient); is quantum efficiency; B is path; The constant of K for considering that all residue (supposing that it is what fix) equipment factors are established. This relational expression only has and could set up very rare fluorogen solution, and under higher concentration because several impact and untenable; For example, especially sample to the self-absorption phenomenon of fluorescent emission. is the ratio of utilizing emitted light quantum count and absorption optical quantum count, and it rule of thumb comes to determine usually. For being considered to epipolic most of molecule, is between 0.2-0.9. Quenching phenomenon can occur when decaying to ground state in (that is, non-phosphorescent intermediate state cross, intermolecular resonance energy transfer etc.) through non-radiative path when the excitation state electronics. Many common environment molecules can impel (comprising water and oxygen) generation of fluorescent quenching phenomenon. It should be understood that the present invention can adopt any mechanism in many known mechanism to operate, use so that fluorescence intensity weakens the degree to hope. Some fluorescence molecules are very responsive to pH. An one example is exactly fluorescein, and when its pH dropped to 7 from 9, quantum efficiency reduced by 0.2. McLaren expands and also can be used for phosphorescent compound as defined above, but decay time relatively lack (as, greater than 10-2Second). In the Electron Relaxation process, the solvable phosphorescence that decay time is long is known from experience the extensive impact that is subject to the intramolecule process.
The invention provides method and inkjet ink composition, it is by reacting with energy (for example, light) and making fluorescence labeling that reversible passivation occur. The present invention also will provide dyestuff (coloured or colourless) mixed provides visible indication in the prescription, can not be read (hereinafter being called cancellation) in order to represent this mark; Perhaps, it can affect with predictable, machine-readable form the photoluminescent property of mark.
According to an embodiment, the invention provides a kind of method and a kind of composition, it can make luminous (fluorescence) mark not be read, and also produces the colour-change that can discern by vision simultaneously.The method of this passivation security feature for example is that completely destroy falls this feature.Under the situation of luminous chemical dye or pigment, this may need to change or destroy the chemical ingredients that causes luminous effect.Therefore, thus being used to make the method for earth complex luminescent component passivation should be that initiating chamical reaction changes earth complex luminescent component or is decomposed into not luminous composition.Can comprise the use tinting material with the method for this variation of visual identification, and this tinting material carries out the visible colour-change being similar to make under the unreadable condition of luminescent marking.The method that realizes this process comprises comes in the colorant combination of outward appearance generation visual change under the described conditions.It can be dyestuff or pigment form, and can comprise in conjunction with any colour-change: a kind of color fade to distinct colors, colourless fade to coloured, or coloured fade to colourless.
If intention certain time after the date manufactured is used this printing ink, then require its component reasonably can keep stable in the time limit.If chien shih solid mark changes during after printing certain, then a kind of mode is that the potential reactive component is bonded in this mark, and energy apply this reactive component when this mark can be activated by selectivity.Can define energy according to radiation (electromagnetism) energy, it comprises all energy that limited by electromagnetic spectrum usually.Radiating capacity uses radiant flux density (unit is for joule/second square metre or be equivalent to watt/square metre) to describe usually, and it is to be applied to measuring of energy usage on the plane surface in the unit time.The Planck equation formula connects the photon of radiating capacity with the discontinuous energy of expression.Based on this relation, radiation flux can further be defined by certain wavelengths.
A kind of method that energy is applied on the mark matrix is the quantity of radiant energy that applies the UV-light form.Uv-radiation can be compared with the radiating capacity of other longer wavelength has some advantages.For example, some matrix, for example low melting point plastic can not stand the effect of infrared (heat) energy.Uv-radiation can typically refer to UVB or UVC radiation (about 200-350nm), and this ultraviolet ray can be effective especially.Chemical compound lot can be not destroyed after absorbing this regional energy; But, known specific light-sensitive compound absorb behind the described energy degradation rapidly and with medium in exist other more stable molecule react.Because this compound has reactivity to radiating capacity, therefore can select these compounds.In some applications, people wish to have the enhanced reactivity for the energy of given radiation power, and may wish to select the energy to given radiation power to have relatively poor reactive compound in some applications.
In order to improve the reactivity of mark of the present invention to the radiating capacity in the particular wavelength region, a kind of method commonly used is to select suitable light-sensitive compound.The selection of light-sensitive compound can be based on it to the intrinsic chemical reactivity of incident radiation energy and existing the going and finding out what's going on that distributes according to the spectral energy to source of radiation.For example, the known energy active compound of two classes is diaryl group iodized salt and triarylsulfonium salt.It is believed that diaryl group iodized salt is more stable than triarylsulfonium salt under the radiating capacity effect, and it can produce bigger free acid concentration under radiation.But, find that when similar sulfonium salt is compared reactivity mainly is controlled by the molar absorptivity of incident radiation power and this salt.For example, for mainly give off greater than the UV of 300nm can the conventional high-tension mercury vapor arc lamps, ((very a spot of specific absorbance>320nm) activity is littler than the mixing triarylsulfonium salt of equivalent for very a spot of specific absorbance>300nm) for the triphenyl sulfonium salt.For further improve salt pair than low-energy light (>320nm) reactivity can be used known photosensitizers, for example, anthraquinone or tonka bean camphor.
The another kind of method that is used to improve described labeled reactant is, a kind of energy source is provided, and it can transmit bigger radiant flux density in light-sensitive compound has the wavelength region may of strong absorption.For example, in the 300-400nm zone that portable low pressure mercury lamp (Spectroline ENF-260C) produces, the average flux density of transmission is 1 watt of/square centimeter order of magnitude.Electrodeless high voltage mercury lamp (for example, 300 watts of/inch ultraviolet curing unit that produced by fusion system (Fusion System)) can transmit with the radiant flux density that exceeds two or three orders of magnitude.Therefore, can estimate mainly have the energy active compound of absorption to react with back one energy according to different gamma flux density people with the faster speed that exceeds one or two order of magnitude in the 300-400nm wavelength region may.
The energy active compound can be exposed under the energy of any appropriate form.For example, energy may be the radiating capacity of visible light (400-700nm), UV, heat, IR (700-100000nm), X-ray, gamma-radiation, electron beam or its any combination.Optimized light source comprises following light source among the present invention: the most of active input of its emission can be uv-radiation.More preferably mainly launch UVB (280-315nm) or UVC (100-280nm) radiation and need not to launch UVA (315-400nm) radiating light source.Certainly, the present invention also allows to react with the light of any energy, and it comprises nearly UV, visible or infrared light.The example of UV light source includes but not limited to: excimer laser; Low pressure mercury lamp; High pressure (belt electrode or not electroded) mercury lamp; Ultrahigh pressure mercury lamp; High pressure xenon-mercury lamp; High pressure xenon lamp; Low-pressure sodium lamp; High-pressure mercury lamp; LED; Daylight; Diode laser; Low-pressure gaseous discharge lamp; With the swirl stabilization plasma lamp.As seen with the example of IR light emitter except that comprising those radiators that are listed as above, also have following radiator: black matrix light source, for example continuous wave halogen lamp; The halogen photoflash lamp; CO 2Laser apparatus; Incandescent light; Halogen incandescent lamp; With the fluorescent tube bulb.
Other suitable energy includes but not limited to those energy commonly used in the sterilizing process: promptly, and γ, X-ray or high-power electron beam.With regard to the electromagnetic spectrum energy of these light sources, it is normally defined wavelength all energy (that is, less than 10nm) less than UV energy wavelength.More commonly use the energy of electron-volt (eV) expression single particle.Suitably the eV of the energy is 100eV (X-ray)-greater than any value of 1MeV (gamma-radiation).The typical particle energy that obtains in the electron-beam sterilization system is between 80keV-12MeV.
Mark based on these compounds is heated the degradation or the cancellation that can cause luminous composition.Other energy also can be used to activate the component of this prescription.These energy include but not limited to electron beam and high energy excimer laser.
In one embodiment, the invention provides a kind of method and a kind of composition, it can make luminous (fluorescence or phosphorescence) mark not be read, and colour-change also takes place simultaneously, and this colour-change can be discerned by vision.More particularly the invention provides a kind of preparation and a kind of method, it relates to the photoinduction cancellation of using said preparation to promote fluorescence or phosphorescence reagent, also promotes the photoinduction of color to change simultaneously.
In one embodiment, the energy active compound is exposed to the material that the energy of significant quantity produced down and comprises acid.In another embodiment, this material comprises group.Energy active compound according to the present invention is a salt, and for example, this salt comprises the element that is selected from periodic table of elements V, VI or VII family.
In a specific embodiments, this salt is selected from the group of being made up of following material: diazonium salt, salt compounded of iodine, sulfonium salt, selenium salt, ammonium salt, oxidation sulfonium salt, haloid, phosphonium salt, arsenic salt and arbitrary combination thereof.
In specific embodiment, this energy active compound is selected from the group of being made up of following material: thiophene salt, silver salt, poly-borate metal salt, ferrocene salt, thiapyran salt, uranyl compound or salt, thallium salt and arbitrary combination thereof.In another embodiment, this energy active compound is selected from the group that following material is formed: sulfonation imide, diazomethane compound, triaizine compounds or derivatives thereof, sulfonated ester, two sulfones, sulfonation nitride, oxo sulfosalt, nitrosamine and halogenated compound, and arbitrary combination.In one embodiment, this energy active compound is selected from the group of being made up of following material: arone, quinone, transition metal complex, metal carbonyl complex, phosphine oxide, superoxide, S xO ySalt is wherein worked as x=1, then y=3,4 or 5; Work as x=2, then y=3,4,5,6,7 or 8; As x=n+2 (n>0), then y=6, and arbitrary combination.
Can use any suitable energy active compound that produces reactive materials.Be suitable for energy active compound used in this invention, for example light-sensitive compound comprises those absorb light or heat and the material that reacts by the generation free acid.Can carry out in the following manner by the process that produces free acid with light or thermal response: uses various can acting on become charged (ion) and not charged (nonionic) compound through organising, and can further organise become some kinds more specifically the compound of group carry out.
Be not the constraint of wishing to accept opinion or mechanism, but it is believed that under the situation of ionic acid generation body homolysis can cause producing short-life group that it extracts proton from other molecule that exists rapidly.Proton is transferred to rapidly in the anionic component of compound in quick Decomposition, thereby obtains metastable strong acid material.This material continues the reaction process that participation is caused by acid.Body takes place and all is made up of the strongly-acid leavings group that is connected on the carbon atom in most of nonionic acid.Photoinitiation causes going up generation protonation at certain point (for example, carbon atom) of molecule usually, intermolecular reorganization takes place rapidly subsequently, thereby produce reactive strong acid.Be noted that importantly that in any one mechanism as long as there is proton-accept part, then the energy active compound just all is consumed in and produces in the reactive materials.The example of preferred charging cpd is set forth below.

Most of commercially available tinting material all has enough stability to light and heat, thereby can stand the short-term time under the ambient lighting condition.To these tinting materials (dyestuff) apply heat or light time its be easy to decompose, but very high from the required energy of cost or safety perspective.An advantage of the invention is the reduction energy requirement, this energy requirement is to change tinting material to provide variation visible or that the machine detection obtains necessary with certain form.Also can produce this superiority by changing color, colour intensity, luminous energy or intensity.To the relatively stable dyestuff of direct acting heat or light can with effective other composition generation chemical reaction of absorb light or heat energy.After having applied light or heat, these light-sensitive compounds are tending towards producing the material of hyperergy---free acid or free electron (free radical), its very easily with medium in other composition react.Serve as a mark, ink composite of the present invention takes place effectively after via the reaction of luminous or coloured dyestuff and these photosensitive components and can detectedly change.
For luminous leucocompound, can change the absorption or the emission characteristic of luminous leucocompound with the reaction of active substance.Absorption characteristic is an absorbing wavelength, for example, and wavelength under the maximum strength or the wavelength under the average intensity.Reaction can change emission characteristic, for example, and emission wavelength, emissive porwer or emission lifetime.Emission wavelength can be the wavelength under maximum strength or the average intensity.This reaction can increase or reduce emissive porwer, perhaps prolongs or shorten emission lifetime.
Ink composite of the present invention comprises appropriate solvent, for example the mixture of organic solvent or one or more organic solvents.Preferably, this organic solvent is a volatile organic solvent.Volatile organic solvent is defined as the material that rate of evaporation is at least 0.2 times of n-butyl acetate (its rate of evaporation is 1.0).
Volatile organic solvent is selected from the group of being made up of following material usually: alcohol, ketone, cyclic ketones, ester, ether, and arbitrary combination.For example, organic solvent is selected from methyl alcohol, ethanol, n-propyl alcohol, Virahol, butanols, acetone, methylethylketone, vinyl acetic monomer, n-propyl acetate, Iso Butyl Acetate, pimelinketone and any arbitrary combination thereof.Preferred primary solvent is to have very big volatile solvent, thereby in the short moistening tag application time, for example 1 minute, preferably less than 10 seconds, is more preferably less than in 2 seconds and just can obtains dry mark from liquid state.These solvents include but not limited to methyl alcohol, ethanol, different/n-propyl alcohol, propyl carbinol, acetone, methylethylketone, vinyl acetic monomer, acetic acid different/n-propyl, pimelinketone or its mixture.In certain embodiments of the invention, if for example used mark is to be placed on the porous matrix, then can use solvent than low volatility.After having used this printing ink, be absorbed into along with solvent that mark will be dry in the hole of matrix.
Ink composite of the present invention can comprise one or more supplementary components, for example, and preferred one or more adhesive resins.In one embodiment, this adhesive resin is a thermoplastic resin.According to one embodiment of the invention, this adhesive resin is selected from the group that following material is formed: acid amides, urethane, ester, Resins, epoxy, ketone resin, vinylpyrrolidone copolymer, vinyl polymer, vinyl butyral multipolymer, acrylic resin, styrene/acrylic resin, celluosic resin, soluble cotton, resol, hydroxystyrene polymers, vinyl alcohol polymer, styrene and arbitrary combination thereof.
Select adhesive resin can give mark best functional performance based on it.But some resin can also be used to strengthen the reactivity of mark to light, and can not hinder the incident of light; Perhaps make mark keep stable to light by absorbing incident light.UV light had radioparent relatively preferably preferred resin for example for cellulose ester, as cellulose acetate, cellulose acetate butyrate and cellulose acetate propionate (various Mierocrystalline celluloses all can available from EastmanChemical Inc.).Absorb light and can reduce mark reactive preferred resin of light those materials that to a certain degree unsaturated structure (hydrocarbon) forms of for example serving as reasons.It comprises styrene resin (styrene acrylic resin, vinylbenzene allyl alcohol resin and polyhydroxystyrene resin); Resol; Phenoxy resin; Aromatic series polyketone resin; Aromatic urethane; And aromatic polyamide.
Ink composite of the present invention can comprise that also one or more are selected from the additive by following material: wetting agent, softening agent, Photoresist, tensio-active agent, moistening agent, thermo-stabilizer, sterilant, tackifier and conductive agent.
The printing ink of describing among the present invention can be used according to any suitable mode, preferably uses ink jet printing.Ink jet printing is a technique known, need not to make in this process to produce just to contact between printing device and the matrix of adhering to print character to finish printing.In brief, ink jet printing comprises following technology: droplet of ink stream is ejected on the surface, thereby and the position of regulating drop on this surface, forms the printed images of hope.This contactless typography is particularly suitable for character is applied on the matrix such as glass, metal or plastic containers.
Can use ink jet printing to print covert indicia.In following publication, can find the each side summary of ink jet printing: people's such as Kuhn Scientific American, April, 1979,162-178; With the Phys.Technol.. of Keeling, 12 (5), 196-303 (1981).Various ink discharge devices have been described: U.S. Patent No. 3,060,429,3,298,030,3,373,437,3,416,153 and 3,673,601 in the following document.
Usually, inkjet compositions will be used in the ink jet printing operation and then must satisfy some requirement.It relates to the consistency of viscosity, corrosion stability, solvability, component and the wetting properties of matrix.In addition, printing ink must be rapidly-dry and bear dirty, wear-resisting, can also can not stop up by nozzle, and with the minimum wash machine parts rapidly of just paying.The skilled formulator in this area can obtain the physical properties of the desirable liquid of ink jet process, for example, and viscosity, surface tension and stability of solution.
In one embodiment, the viscosity of ink composite of the present invention under 25 ℃ is about 1.6 centipoises (cps)-Yue 7 centipoises, and resistivity is about 2,000 Ω of about 50 Ω-cm--cm, and the velocity of sound is about 1100 meter per seconds-Yue 1700 meter per seconds.
The present invention can also use the system component that is applicable to continuous ink jet printing (CIJ) process.The printing ink that is used for CIJ need have 1000 little siemens orders of magnitude or bigger solution conductivity.Usually use the additional salt that dissolves in the printing ink carrier to reach this requirement.The add-on of this salt is generally about 0.5-3% weight of ink composite.In some embodiments, advantageously the energy active compound can provide the electroconductibility of hope, therefore needn't use the salt that improves electroconductibility.
According to one embodiment of the invention, this ink composite can be printed on instant dripping on the ink jet printer that prints (DOD).This ink composite viscosity of (usually 25-70 ℃) under the print engine service temperature be the about 300cps of about 3cps-, for example, is the about 120cps of about 4cps-at 25 ℃ times, and resistivity is greater than about 3k Ω-cm, and the surface tension under 25 ℃ is about 25-38 dyne/cm.Printing ink in this embodiment also must pass through long-term strict stability test, thereby guarantees not have in the work-ing life of printing ink the deposited phenomenon of ink component.In this embodiment, the boiling point of printing ink is higher than 200 ℃ usually.
Can use softening agent, for example, belong to the material of following chemical type: dibasic phthalic ester, alkoxyl group-phosphoric acid ester, acyclic polyester, epoxidized oil, dibasic ester and trimellitate.Also can add other modified component in ink composite, for example Photostabilised compound (more generally being called the UV blocker), thermo-stabilizer, moistening agent, sterilant and tackifier are in order to realize desirable functional property.White pigment dispersion (for example, the MICROLITH that in vinyl acetate/vinyl chloride copolymer, forms of titanium dioxide that adds about 15% weight of about 1- TMThe R-K dispersion) can improve various matrix, the sharpness of the mark on the especially translucent matrix.The moistening agent (for example, originating from the Unidyne NS-1603 of Daikin Industries) that can add about 2% weight of about 0.01-improves the printed dot size on the matrix, and regulates image intensity.In addition, can use the tackifier (for example, trialkoxy silane) of about 5% weight of about 0.01-to improve sticking power to some matrix.
Can also add other component and improve the printing press operability, for example, the wetting agent that adds about 0.5-about 10% can prevent that the printing ink in the printing press is dry too early.The example of wetting agent includes but not limited to glycol ether, esterification lactic acid salt, N-Methyl pyrrolidone, amyl acetate-n, propyl carbonate or methyl-sulphoxide.Can use defoamer about 0.1-about 2.0%, compatible with ink carrier (solvent) (for example, originating from the Tego Foamex N of Tego Chemie Service) to reduce the foam that produces in the CIJ printing press.
It in addition, use Photostabilised compound highly beneficial, because can prevent that the light of energy active compound and setted wavelength from undesirable reaction taking place.For example, can design such individual system, itself and ambient light do not react substantially and react with higher UV luminous energy.In this system, can use Photostabilised compound, its with the home light of 300-400nm (that is, containing UV light hangs down wavelength to about 300nm daylight) the similar energy area of energy in have significant absorption.In addition, can also use the energy active compound that between 250-300nm, has additional remarkable absorption.The existence of Photostabilised compound can consume the incident ambient light energy; But the high energy window still keeps, and wherein, the light (for example, 300nm or lower) with appropriate energy can be passed in the energy active compound by suitable light source.
The structure of Photostabilised compound is made up of light absorbing substructure, and especially this substructure is that aromatic series functional group-this functional group also can find in the energy active compound usually.But according to definition, effective Photostabilised compound does not produce the material that reacts with surrounding medium, as above-mentioned energy active compound.On the contrary, these materials absorb luminous energy usually and with this Conversion of energy for heat and can not be attended by the degradation of structure.For example, the most frequently used, be used in Photostabilised compound-p-methoxycinnamic acid octyl group ester in the protectiveness opalizer-be exposed to light following time the photoisomerization reaction takes place, it transforms back into more stable isomer again gradually when light source is removed then.The example of suitable Photostabilised compound is as follows:
The Photostabilised compound of table 18.

In another optional embodiment of above-mentioned prescription, luminophor and coloured component can be same substance.For example, luminophor and coloured dyestuff can be that the energy active compound is had reactive colored oxidation anthracene-radical dye (for example, the ocean alkali of solvent red 49, BASF production is red).With the shortwave light source, for example UVC reacts the color of dyestuff is changed fully---and fade to colourlessly from redness, and almost completely lose fluorescence.Should special combination make system simultaneously not readable for machine and people's naked eyes.The disappearance of marker color provides definite feedback to the viewer, and promptly this mark is invalid.In addition, owing to the printing ink with one-component is more cheap relatively on producing, so this embodiment is favourable.
In one embodiment, the invention provides a kind of ink composite that is applicable to ink jet printing, it comprises not luminescence colorant, solvent and energy active compound.The mark that is made by ink composite is exposed to the following time of energy of significant quantity, for example this not the absorbing wavelength of luminescence colorant change.Can use any not luminescence colorant discussed above.The example of this tinting material is a solvent orange 3.Can use any suitable energy active compound, for example tribromoethyl alcohol.
In yet another embodiment of the present invention, the light that only jetted ink preparation can be become with desired wavelength reacts.The visible colour-change can take place in the mark that is generated by described printing ink, and luminous reduces, the situation just as among the above-mentioned embodiment during with irradiate light.But this ink composite is compared with prescription before, more can prevent the reaction with surround lighting.This ink composite is made up of following ingredients: the 1) polar organic solvent of about 30-about 95% (for example, acetone), and preferably about 40-is about 75%, more preferably from about about 65% weight of 50-; 2) resin that dissolves in the printing ink carrier of about 1-about 30% (for example, Polyvinylpyrolidone (PVP)/vinyl acetate copolymer E-335, ISP Incorporated production); 3) the europium base phosphorescent coloring that dissolves in the printing ink carrier of about 0.01-about 10%, it is about 5% to be preferably about 0.1-, more preferably from about about 3% weight of 0.1-(for example, AMART dyestuff TMUR-3, Photosecure produces); 4) the coloured dyestuff of yellow azo-type of 0-about 10%, it is about 5% to be preferably about 0.01-, about 2% weight of 0.1-(for example, solvent yellow 56) more preferably from about, color fades to red-brown from yellow after itself and the strong acid generation protonation; 5) radiation has reactivity and dissolves in the printing ink carrier to UVC for the energy active compound of about 0.1-about 15%, this material, and it is about 10% to be preferably about 0.01-, more preferably from about about 5% weight of 0.1-(for example, tribromoethyl alcohol or hexabromocyclododecane); 6) about 5% conducting salt of about 0.5-, preferably about 0.5-is about 3%, about 2% weight of 0.8-(that is, the TBuA hexafluorophosphate) more preferably from about, it is dissolved in ink carrier and has good electrical conductivity therein; 7) the Photostabilised compound of UV of 0-about 15%, preferably about 0.1-is about 10%, more preferably from about about 6% weight of 0.5-(for example, octyl methoxycinnamate, the Escalol 557 that ISP Incorporated produces); 8) the white color divergence body of 0-15%, it is about 15% to be preferably about 5-, about 10% weight of more preferably about 5-(for example, the MicrolithR-K that produces of Ciba, it is the dispersion of titanium dioxide in vinyl acetate/vinyl chloride copolymer), it is used for improving the readability that is marked at various matrix; With 9) wetting agent of 0-about 25%, preferably about 0.5-is about 20%, about 10% weight of 0.5-(for example, acetic acid uncle amyl group ester) more preferably from about, it can prevent that the printing ink in the printing press is dry too early.
According to the prepared mark of ink composite embodiment of the present invention, for example CIJ printing ink has very short time of drying, usually less than 2 seconds, and various pore-free surfaces is all had good sticking power under the room temperature.In addition, in embodiments, it can wash by water.But, resin is changed into different resins by vinyl pyrrolidone/vinyl acetate, for example acrylic resin then can form the water-insoluble mark in a similar fashion.Color can become red-brown by yellow when the mark in the above-mentioned embodiment was subjected to the irradiation in UVC source.Except making the sample colour-darkening, luminous intensity can reduce greatly when dyestuff was subjected to the known radiation that excites in (excitation maximum of europium dyestuff is usually between 350-400nm) rate frequently.
Jetted ink only reacts with the light of desired wavelength in another embodiment of the invention, this embodiment is as follows: the 1) organic solvent of about 40-about 98%, and preferably about 60-is about 95%, more preferably from about about 95% weight of 70-, (for example, tripropylene glycol-monomethyl ether); 2) organic solvent that is used to change viscosity of 0-about 40%, preferably about 3-is about 15%, about 10% weight of 5-more preferably from about, (for example, triglycol); 3) the europium base phosphorescent coloring that dissolves in the printing ink carrier of about 0.01-about 10%, preferably about 0.1-is about 5%, about 3% weight of 0.1-more preferably from about, (for example, LUMILUX CD-331 dyestuff); 4) the coloured dyestuff of azo-type of 0-about 10%, preferably about 0.01-is about 5%, more preferably from about about 2% weight of 0.1-(for example, xanchromatic chrysolidineY alkali, it is easy to strong acid generation protonation to be become by yellow brown); 5) the energy active compound of about 0.1-about 15%, it can react and dissolve in the printing ink carrier under the UVC radiation, and it is about 10% to be preferably about 0.1-, about 5% weight of more preferably about 0.1-, (for example, tribromoethyl alcohol).This printing ink has the desired physical properties of operation in the DOD printing press: for example, viscosity is the about 30cps of about 3cps-under the service temperature (being generally 25-70 ℃) of printing press engine; For example, at 25 ℃ down under the about 120cPs of about 4-, resistivity is greater than about 3K Ω-cm, and is about 25-38 dyne/cm at 25 ℃ of lower surface tension force.The boiling point of this prescription is usually above 200 ℃.
Liquid viscosity properties-correcting agent can comprise any liquid of viscosity greater than 6cps.More preferably, thickening material comprises any liquid of viscosity greater than 20cps.More preferably this liquid thickener is got rid of the molecule of being made up of reactive functional groups again, and this reactive functional groups is epoxide group or unsaturated carbon group (for example, acrylate and vinyl).
Because above-mentioned prescription does not contain adhesive resin, therefore the printed images that obtains should be used in porous matrix, for example on the paper.But, can in DOD printing ink, comprise adhesive resin, also ruled it out not among the present invention.As mentioned above, when using the optical energy irradiation image of about 350-380nm, Stokes shift can take place in it in narrower about 600-630nm zone, thereby sends red light.When with ultraviolet ray, when especially wavelength was lower than this mark of rayed of about 300nm, visible variation-color can take place and become orange/brown by yellow in it.In addition, when by the rayed of about 350-380nm, the luminous intensity of this mark can reduce.
Colour-change of Miao Shuing and fluorescence losses degree depend on many formulation parameters herein, comprise the amount of energy active compound and the ratio between energy active compound and reactive tinting material and the luminophor.Other parameter comprises medium property and offsets the actual energy and the power output of light source.For example, when use is used for the portable 254nm light source of germ-resistant low power (for example can available from Spectroline Incorporated), the weight ratio of energy active compound and (combination dyestuff add luminophor) be 3 or bigger situation under, in several minutes, observe entire reaction and finish.Entire reaction is defined herein as whole visible conversion process---and the Chrysolidine Y basic dye of all yellow forms is converted into brown form, and almost whole fluorescence reduces to below 5 percent of initial value.Use more high-power light source, be similar to the high pressure mercury vapor arc lamps of buying, can make entire reaction realize faster rate by such as the such company of Fusion Systems Incorporated.This system reaches same level of response can be with the time of second order of magnitude or still less, so just can use this mark in high speed processes, for example on fabrication line the product of production is classified.An attendant advantages of this combination partner is that environment, indoor light are had relative satisfactory stability.Under these conditions, the sample that newly prints can be preserved several hours or several days, and color or luminous intensity almost do not change.
Be noted that importantly tinting material in above-mentioned example (that is ChrysolidineY alkali) and luminophor (that is LUMILUX CD-331 dyestuff) can react with energy active compound (that is tribromoethyl alcohol) simultaneously.In fact, the variation of the two all can make the whole luminous intensity of luminophor reduce.Under the situation of luminophor, luminescence phenomenon is directly by cancellation.In addition, the tinting material color fades to brown average energy corresponding to the light that absorbs by yellow increases.Under original state, the tinting material strong absorption produces the interior light of energy area (about 610nm) of luminescence phenomenon, therefore impels observable whole luminous intensity to reduce.
Term " machine-readable " is used to summarize the variation that how monitoring mark and energy react and produced in this article.The electronic measurement technique that is designed for variation of assessment luminous or colour-change has been arranged, and it can be suitably with in the present invention.Use any appropriate means can detect variation, for example, use photorectifier, photographic camera, ccd sensor, cmos sensor, spectrometer and colorimeter.
The present invention also provides a kind of method of differentiating matrix, and it comprises: (a) use ink composite of the present invention that a kind of discriminating mark is provided on matrix; (b) read this discriminating mark; (c) will differentiate that mark is exposed under the passivation energy of significant quantity producing certain material, this material and luminophor or tinting material and/or not the luminescence colorant reaction obtain discriminating mark after energy-exposure; (d) read discriminating mark after this energy-exposure.Be exposed to the passivation light source before or subsequently mark when comparing, read this discriminating mark and can be used for determining luminous intensity or wavelength change.Therefore, this reading device can be made up of the system that obtains illuminated message.The another kind of method of determining the exposure effect of discriminating mark is to measure to be exposed to before the passivation light source or the difference between the mark subsequently.The information that reads this discriminating mark and collected can comprise obtains image luminous or light-contrast base, thereby determines the information that typographic(al) mark contains in modes such as alphanumeric symbol, 1-D bar code, 2-D bar code, data matrix bar codes.Except the information that typographic(al) mark contains, can also determine to be exposed to before the passivation light source or luminous intensity subsequently or the ratio between the contrast gradient.These ratios can be used in the automatic algorithms, mark whether to expose or passivation in order to determine this.Can also use other method to determine to be used in and being marked at before the exposure or the situation after the exposure in this algorithm, and these methods also are not precluded within outside the scope of the present invention.The effect of reading can comprise measures luminophor or the luminescence colorant difference that changes and caused not.This variation can be spectrum change, for example, and absorbing wavelength, absorption intensity, emission wavelength, emissive porwer or emission lifetime.
The present invention also provides a kind of system of differentiating matrix, and it comprises: (a) ink composite of the present invention; (b) ink-jet printer; (c) matrix; (d) the passivation energy; (e) reading device.This reading device of said system can be made up of the secondary reading device of the device of detected electronically mark, excitation light source and possible direct this mark of affirmation.Excitation light source be likely xenon flash lamp or with other luminous light source of corresponding wavelength place, the excitation energy of luminophor zone.Particularly preferably be xenon flash lamp, because its energy that has very high radiation power output and consumption in broad potential excitation wavelength band is less relatively.In addition, these lamps are launched very high power and matrix is exposed under the destructive energy.Can comprise less important reading device in the main reading device, be used for confirming the reliability of this discriminating mark.For example, under the situation of drink pack, traditional bar-code reading device can read the UPC bar code on the packing, and confirms that it is to carry out mark by proper discriminating mark.In addition, the IR transmitter can be determined the shape section packed, and to from differentiating that the information that mark obtains compares to determine its character.This information can be used for also determining what kind of processing is system carried out according to passivation requirement and reading requirement to mark.
The present invention has also brought profitability for the process control under production or the distribution condition.When with the optical energy irradiation of another wavelength, luminescence colorant (for example, dyestuff) responds the visible or invisible light at the setted wavelength place of emission.Can select dyestuff, make its emission wish the light of intensity and energy, thereby available machines used read.Can select the emission light of can be well having an effect with photosensitive device.These systems can overcome and automatic bar code-relevant problem of the process that reads commonly used, for example, depart from, the interference of ambient lighting or the interference of matrix background color.Therefore because carrying out machine easily reads and can use luminescence colorant in automated procedure.For example, in central dispense equipment, can use very high reading rate to read the identification marking of article, thereby it is classified.In process of production, the present invention can come the article through a process with the article difference through another process.
Can use another example of process control of the present invention is process monitoring.The present invention has advantageously provided machine-readable printing ink, and it need not on-line operation person just can indicate the process process.Do not required visible indication in the present invention.Therefore, the present invention makes in the automation process and can use luminescent marking.
Single ink composite during the present invention advantageously provides a kind of multiple purpose that can be used for---for example, colour-change or luminous change---, it not only has coloured component but also has luminescence colorant in unitary system.In preferred embodiments, every kind of tinting material all has reactivity to other independent in system component, and therefore the chemical transformation of wishing takes place in two kinds of tinting materials simultaneously.Just can use single application apparatus like this on production line, for example ink-jet printer is used this mark.In the design of security system, wish very much to use single fluid and single application apparatus, any forgery of total system---that is, is usurped liquid to other position---all can be discerned rapidly like this.
As seen coloured component is exposed to the next meeting of energy and produces colour-change, and this colour-change can influence the intensity of luminous signal and/or the color of emission again.Can provide a kind of advantageous manner that is used for discernable marks article situation to the influence of intensity.For example, the color of visible coloured component migrates to redness by yellow, and the emissive porwer of earth complex luminescent component luminous in the ruddiness zone is descended.It is colourless that second colour-change of bringing out can cause visible component to be changed into by redness, recovers initial luminous.These change all is machine-can read, and therefore makes the present invention have availability in automation process.
Reactive systems of the present invention is favourable, and this is that this energy is used under the lower substrate temperature system is activated because it is compatible with the more effective energy.Photochromic marking takes place reversible change according to embodiments of the present invention.
In one embodiment, the present invention also provides a kind of ink composite, it comprises luminophor, not luminescence colorant and energy active compound, wherein reactive materials reacts (in mark) and makes not that the absorption or the emission characteristic of luminescence colorant change, thereby make the absorption of the not luminescence colorant after the change overlapping or consistent with the absorption or the emission characteristic of luminophor, for example, as shown in Figure 2.
The invention provides some advantages, for example mark is to the good sticking power of matrix, and this printing ink does not contain or do not contain substantially solvent, for example methylethylketone (MEK) or methyl alcohol in embodiments.Also cold-resistant the coagulating of this mark in the embodiment acts on.
