Definitions
- a common counterfeiting method uses both a strong oxidizing agent and a reducing agent, such as the potassium permanganate / sodium bisulfite system - preferably in the acidic range. Potassium permanganate quickly and completely discolors ink; the resulting manganese dioxide is then made colorless with bisulfite. Eraser water on this basis is available in the form of ready-to-use solutions in small bottles (e.g. “lnk Eradicator Les Siamoises X 2”. I. Herbin S.A., Paris).
- Suitable salts are, in particular, the alkali and alkaline earth salts, preferably the Na, K, Li, Mg, Ca or ammonium salts.
- the papers according to the invention are produced in such a way that the compound of the formula (I) is applied during or after paper manufacture by adding it to the pulp or by applying it to the paper surface or by an appropriate surface treatment.
- This compound is generally used in the form of the aqueous solution of its readily soluble salts, in particular alkali salts.
- the paper is normally sized in the pulp, e.g. B. with resin glue. However, you can also omit the paper pulp sizing completely or partially and combine the anti-counterfeiting reagent with an anionic surface sizing agent, possibly also using starch at the same time. This allows the solution of the reagent to penetrate deeper into the paper and, at the same time as the equipment, the sizing required for writing on the paper is achieved.
- Commercially available products are suitable as surface sizing agents, e.g. B. aqueous solutions or dispersions based on copolymers of maleic anhydride or their ammonium salts.
- the paper treated with compound (1) becomes distinctly yellow when spotted with a dilute potassium permanganate solution and also remains yellow when the dark brown manganese oxides formed on the paper are decolorized with a dilute solution of sodium bisulfite.
- the reagent can also be added to the paper pulp (i.e. the paper fiber suspension).
- the yield in paper can be improved by adding aluminum sulfate or cationic retention or fixing agents (e.g. based on polyacrylamide, polyamidamine or dicyandiamide formaldehyde).
- aluminum sulfate or cationic retention or fixing agents e.g. based on polyacrylamide, polyamidamine or dicyandiamide formaldehyde.
- 0.1-5% reagent (based on the paper pulp) is required for this production variant.

Description
Bei einer Reihe von Spezialpapieren, wie z. B. solchen für den Geldverkehr, Wertpapiere, Ausweispapiere und Dokumente, besteht großes Interesse, sie vor Fälschungen zu schützen. Insbesondere sollen derartige Papiere davor geschützt werden, daß man Handschriftzüge, die z. B. mit Tinte ausgeführt worden sind, durch Radieren entfernt.With a number of special papers, such as. B. those for money transactions, securities, identity papers and documents, there is great interest in protecting them from counterfeiting. In particular, such papers are to be protected from the fact that manuscripts such. B. have been done with ink, removed by erasing.
In der Patentliteratur ist eine größere Zahl von Möglichkeiten beschrieben worden, wie das Radieren mit Säuren, Laugen, Oxidationsmitteln, Reduktionsmitteln und organischen Lösungsmitteln dadurch erschwert werden kann, daß bei dieser Behandlung farbige Substanzen entstehen. Die meisten der vorgeschlagenen Substanzen reagieren auf Alkali, Säure oder Chlor (vgl. z. B. US-A-4 037 007, US-A-3 437 555 oder FR-A-2 365-656).A larger number of possibilities have been described in the patent literature as to how erasing with acids, alkalis, oxidizing agents, reducing agents and organic solvents can be made more difficult by the fact that colored substances are formed during this treatment. Most of the proposed substances react to alkali, acid or chlorine (see, for example, US-A-4 037 007, US-A-3 437 555 or FR-A-2 365-656).
Eine übliche Fälschungsmethode benutzt sowohl ein starkes Oxidationsmittel als auch ein Reduktionsmittel, wie beispielsweise das System Kaliumpermanganat/Natriumbisulfit - vorzugsweise im sauren Bereich. Kaliumpermanganat entfärbt Tinte schnell und vollständig ; das dabei auf dem Papier entstehende Mangandioxid wird anschließend mit Bisulfit farblos gemacht. Radierwässer auf dieser Basis sind in Form von gebrauchsfertigen Lösungen in Tüpfelfläschchen im Handel (z. B. « lnk Eradicator Les Siamoises X 2 ». I. Herbin S.A., Paris).A common counterfeiting method uses both a strong oxidizing agent and a reducing agent, such as the potassium permanganate / sodium bisulfite system - preferably in the acidic range. Potassium permanganate quickly and completely discolors ink; the resulting manganese dioxide is then made colorless with bisulfite. Eraser water on this basis is available in the form of ready-to-use solutions in small bottles (e.g. “lnk Eradicator Les Siamoises X 2”. I. Herbin S.A., Paris).
Ein Schutz vor dieser Fälschungsmethode ist besonders schwierig, da eine Substanz erforderlich ist, die farblos ist und mit Permanganat deutlich farbig wird, sich jedoch mit Bisulfit nicht wieder entfärben läßt.Protection against this counterfeiting method is particularly difficult since a substance is required which is colorless and becomes clearly colored with permanganate, but cannot be decolorized again with bisulfite.
Es wurde nun gefunden, daß auch diese Fälschungsmethode keine Chance hat, unentdeckt zu bleiben, wenn man ein Papier verwendet, das als Reagenz 2-(4'-Amino-3'-sulfophenyl)-6-methyl-benzthiazol-7-sulfonsäure (I) oder deren Salze enthält.It has now been found that this counterfeiting method also has no chance of remaining undetected if a paper is used which uses 2- (4'-amino-3'-sulfophenyl) -6-methyl-benzothiazole-7-sulfonic acid ( I) or their salts.
Geeignete Salze sind insbesondere die Alkali-und Erd alkalisalze, vorzugsweise die Na-, K-, Li-, Mg-, Ca- oder Ammoniumsalze.Suitable salts are, in particular, the alkali and alkaline earth salts, preferably the Na, K, Li, Mg, Ca or ammonium salts.
2-(4'-Amino-3'-sutfophenyt)-6-methyt-benzthiazo)-7-sulfonsäure ist bekannt.2- (4'-Amino-3'-sutfophenyt) -6-methyt-benzthiazo) -7-sulfonic acid is known.
Die Herstellung der erfindungsgemäßen Papiere erfolgt in der Weise, daß die Verbindung der Formel (I) bei oder nach der Papierfabrikation durch Zugabe in die Papiermasse oder durch Auftrag auf die Papieroberfläche oder durch eine entsprechende Oberflächenbehandlung aufgebracht wird.The papers according to the invention are produced in such a way that the compound of the formula (I) is applied during or after paper manufacture by adding it to the pulp or by applying it to the paper surface or by an appropriate surface treatment.
Der Einsatz dieser Verbindung erfolgt im allgemeinen in Form der wäßrigen Lösung ihrer leichtlöslichen Salze, insbesondere Alkalisalze.This compound is generally used in the form of the aqueous solution of its readily soluble salts, in particular alkali salts.
Diese Lösungen sind zwar in konzentrierter Form schwach gelb gefärbt, werden aber beim Verdünnen unter ca. 1 % praktisch farblos. Wenn man gemäß einer bevorzugten Herstellungsvariante die verdünnten Lösungen allein oder in Kombination mit einem Bindemittel auf weißes Papier aufträgt, ändert sich das Aussehen des Papieres praktisch nicht.Although these solutions are pale yellow in a concentrated form, they become practically colorless when diluted below approx. If, according to a preferred production variant, the diluted solutions are applied to white paper alone or in combination with a binder, the appearance of the paper practically does not change.
Als Bindemittel kommen z. B. Lösungen von Stärke oder Carboxymethylcellulose oder auch anionische Kunststoff-Dispersionen, z. B. auf Basis von Polymeren aus Butadien und Styrol oder Acrylsäureester, sowie Polyvinylalkohollösungen in Betracht.Z. B. solutions of starch or carboxymethyl cellulose or anionic plastic dispersions, for. B. based on polymers of butadiene and styrene or acrylic acid ester, and polyvinyl alcohol solutions.
Das Papier ist normalerweise in der Papiermasse geleimt, z. B. mit Harzleim. Man kann jedoch auch die Papiermasseleimung ganz oder teilweise weglassen und das Fälschungsschutz-Reagenz mit einem anionischen Oberflächenleimungsmittel kombinieren, evtl. auch unter gleichzeitiger Verwendung von Stärke. Hierdurch kann die Lösung des Reagenz tiefer in das Papier eindringen und es wird gleichzeitig mit der Ausrüstung die für das Beschreiben der Papiere notwendige Leimung erzielt. Als Oberflächenleimungsmittel kommen handelsübliche Produkte infrage, z. B. wäßrige Lösungen oder Dispersionen auf Basis von Copolymeren von Maleinsäureanhydrid bzw. deren Ammoniumsalzen.The paper is normally sized in the pulp, e.g. B. with resin glue. However, you can also omit the paper pulp sizing completely or partially and combine the anti-counterfeiting reagent with an anionic surface sizing agent, possibly also using starch at the same time. This allows the solution of the reagent to penetrate deeper into the paper and, at the same time as the equipment, the sizing required for writing on the paper is achieved. Commercially available products are suitable as surface sizing agents, e.g. B. aqueous solutions or dispersions based on copolymers of maleic anhydride or their ammonium salts.
Das mit der Verbindung (1) behandelte Papier wird beim Betüpfeln mit einer verdünnten Kaliumpermanganat-Lösung deutlich gelb und bleibt auch gelb, wenn die auf dem Papier entstehenden dunkelbraunen Manganoxide mit einer verdünnten Lösung von Natriumbisulfit entfärbt werden.The paper treated with compound (1) becomes distinctly yellow when spotted with a dilute potassium permanganate solution and also remains yellow when the dark brown manganese oxides formed on the paper are decolorized with a dilute solution of sodium bisulfite.
Zur Erzielung einer deutlich sichtbaren Gelfärbung ist je nach Aufnahmevermögen des Papiers eine Oberflächenbehandlung mit einer 0,01 bis 0,5 %igen Lösung des Fälschungsschutz-Reagenz nötig.To achieve a clearly visible gel color, depending on the absorption capacity of the paper, a surface treatment with a 0.01 to 0.5% solution of the anti-counterfeiting reagent is necessary.
Prinzipiell kann das Reagenz auch der Papiermasse (d. h. der Papierfaser-Suspension) zugesetzt werden. Hierbei ist jedoch damit zu rechnen, daß ein Teil des Produktes während der Papierherstellung ins Abwasser geht. Durch Zusatz von Aluminiumsulfat oder von kationischen Retentions- oder Fixiermitteln (z. B. auf Basis von Polyacrylamid, Polyamidamin oder Dicyandiamid-Formaldehyd) läßt sich allerdings die Ausbeute im Papier verbessern. Im allgemeinen werden für diese Herstellungsvariante 0,1-5 % Reagenz (bezogen auf die Papiermasse) benötigt.In principle, the reagent can also be added to the paper pulp (i.e. the paper fiber suspension). However, it can be expected that some of the product will go into wastewater during paper production. However, the yield in paper can be improved by adding aluminum sulfate or cationic retention or fixing agents (e.g. based on polyacrylamide, polyamidamine or dicyandiamide formaldehyde). In general, 0.1-5% reagent (based on the paper pulp) is required for this production variant.
Aus der US-A-2075538 war es bekannt, Sicherheitspapier unter Verwendung des Natrium- oder Ammoniumsalzes der Dehydrothiopara-toluidin-monosulfonsäure herzustellen. Derartige Papiere zeigen jedoch unter längerem Einfluß von Licht eine unerwünschte Verfärbung.From US-A-2075538 it was known to produce security paper using the sodium or ammonium salt of dehydrothiopara-toluidine monosulfonic acid. However, such papers show an undesirable discoloration under the long influence of light.
