Definitions
- the invention relates to a decorative sheet usable for the manufacture of laminated panels, this sheet further comprising recognition and security means.
- the invention further relates to a composition for printing such a sheet.
- laminates have been used as materials in homes and commercial and industrial premises. Typical applications of such laminates are the surface coating of walls, table tops, furniture and the like.
- the so-called high pressure laminates are produced from a core consisting of sheets impregnated with resin.
- the sheets are generally sheets of kraft paper which has been impregnated with a thermosetting resin and more particularly with a phenolic resin.
- the sheets are dried, cut, then stacked on top of each other.
- the number of sheets in the stack depends on the applications and can vary between 3 and 9, but can be higher.
- a decorative sheet which is generally a sheet of paper carrying a printed or light-colored pattern, and impregnated with a thermosetting resin which does not blacken with heat, for example melamine-formaldehyde resins, benzoguanamine-formaldehyde resins, unsaturated polyester resins.
- a protective cover sheet without a pattern and transparent in the final laminate, is placed above the decorative sheet. In terms of profession, this protective sheet is called "over-lay".
- the stack of impregnated sheets is then placed in a press fitted with a sheet giving the surface condition. The stack is then densified by heating and pressing to obtain a unitary structure.
- thermosetting resins are transformed into thermosetting form and an extremely hard material with a decorative effect is obtained.
- So-called low pressure laminates are produced in a similar manner to that of high pressure laminates, but the decorative sheet is laminated directly on a particle board or any other basic support.
- the decorative sheet is traditionally made in the following manner.
- a sheet of paper is made by draining on a flat canvas an aqueous suspension of cellulose fibers, long and / or short, bleached and / or unbleached, fillers, binders.
- the sheet thus formed is drained, pressed and dried to form a sheet of paper.
- This sheet is then printed.
- the impression usually made is a gravure printing, by means of engraved rollers.
- the engraving technique consists in making a drawing, for example reproducing a wood or a purely fancy artistic drawing.
- one to five separate and successive prints are made using one to five rolls.
- the invention therefore aims to solve this problem.
- Another problem that arises is the identification of the laminate manufacturer. Indeed, the decorative sheet manufacturer can sell the same authentic sheet to several laminate manufacturers. Each laminate manufacturer generally bears his mark on the laminate, by means of a more or less removable label. Again, there is the problem of identifying the manufacturer of a particular laminate. The invention aims to solve this second problem.
- An object of the invention is therefore to provide a decorative sheet for laminate panels, comprising means for recognizing the origin of the laminates.
- the invention relates to a sheet usable for the manufacture of laminated panels, intended to be subjected to the prolonged action of light, characterized in that it comprises an impression at least resistant to light, this impression having a first shade in natural light and a second shade, different from the first, in artificial light.
- the first design is invisible to natural light and the second design is visible to artificial light.
- natural light is meant a light source whose wavelengths are between 400 and 700 nanometers and by artificial light, a light source whose wavelengths are less than 400 nanometers and greater than 700 nanometers.
- pigments and dyes are luminescent. These materials are commonly called “phosphors". These pigments can be fluorescent or phosphorescent.
- the color sensation produced by conventional pigments or dyes which are not luminescent results from the selective absorption of wavelengths in the visible part of the spectrum. Wavelengths that are not absorbed are reflected or transmitted, which gives the sensation of color. This feeling of color is absent when there is no visible light source, because there is no energy to reflect or transmit.
- luminescent pigments do not reflect light, but they are themselves sources of light. They have the property of absorbing certain wavelengths, generally wavelengths less than 400 nanometers and invisible to the eye, and of transforming these wavelengths into visible wavelengths. The wavelengths thus emitted produce a sensation of color. When the emission of light continues for a non-negligible period of time, after the excitation energy source has been switched off, the material is said to be phosphorescent.
- Pigments based on zinc sulfide have been described in the Kirk-Othmer documenet: Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 3rd ed, volume 17. These pigments are described as chemically stable.
- Document EP-A-147252 describes a mixture of a luminescent substance and an anti-storage substance. Such a mixture can be used for marking documents to prevent counterfeiting, for example bank notes, fiduciary papers.
- the compositions can be introduced onto paper and can be introduced into printing inks. These inks are fatty inks, that is to say containing an oil and the printing is done by offset or intaglio. So far, the problem of marking heat-resistant sheets that can be used to decorate laminates has never been posed.
- Document AU-A-518,156 describes a sheet of paper comprising an at least light-resistant printing having a first light shade of wavelength between 400 and 700 nm and a second shade different from the first at the wavelength less than 400 nm, the impression being a heliographic impression. However, it is not a paper usable for the manufacture of laminates.
- Document DE-A-2 910 176 describes a method for characterizing disc packaging using fluorescent printing.
- GB-2,147,542 describes an article printed using fluorescent or synthetic material.
- EP 0253 543 describes a printing ink comprising a metallic compound, a luminescent compound and one or more inert compounds. Such ink is used for credit cards.
- an essential technical problem to be solved is the fact that the sheets are intended to be subjected to heat, for a period of several tens of minutes, or even several hours. Indeed, when it comes to laminate sheets, during densification, the sheet is subjected to temperatures of more than 100 ° C., for 20 minutes. Similarly, when manufacturing papers covered with metal or metallized, these papers are subjected to high temperatures, especially when hot stamping is carried out.
- Marking sheets for example for laminates, also poses different and additional problems of marking paper for banknotes and other security documents.
- the decorative sheets for laminates are necessarily impregnated with a thermosetting resin.
- the impregnated sheet is placed on a particle board or a stack of impregnated kraft paper sheets. Then we press the assembly against a sheet.
- a technical problem posed is that the prints must not transfer from the decorative sheet onto the sheet which must remain clean.
- a second technical problem to be solved is that during the impregnation, the decorative sheet passes
- thermosetting resin creeps under the action of heat and pressure and if it contains luminescent printing substances, these these flow together and cause smudging of the final impression.
- the luminescent substances used have a very good resistance to light.
- these sheets can be used for panels used as materials in homes and furniture tops and they are therefore intended to be subjected to the action of light for extended periods of time.
- the Applicant has tried many luminescent substances sold on the market and has been able to find that those which are well suited are mineral pigments. Indeed, organic molecules are very sensitive to external conditions and degrade easily in light, as well as in heat.
- the Applicant has been able to use mineral pigments having a very good resistance to light and resist high temperatures for long periods of time, namely temperatures above 100 ° C., preferably between 140 and 200 ° C., by example 140-150 ° C for at least 10 min to 2 hours, for example 20 to 30 minutes.
- luminescent substances used according to the invention such as zinc sulfides or their mixture with other metallic sulfides are resistant to heat, for periods of time of more than 10 min.
- the luminescent substances are pigments based on zinc sulfide in admixture with cadmium sulfide. These pigments can have a particle size of less than 40 micrometers.
- Pigments of zinc sulfide or zinc sulfide and cadmium which are activated by copper can be used. Their preparation method is known and is for example described in H.W. Leverenz, An introduction to luminescence of solids: S. John, Wiley & Sons, Inc. New York, Chapman & Hall Ltd London, 1950.
- Pigments based on zinc sulfide emitting in various wavelengths have been described in patent applications EP-A-34059, EP-A-78538, EP-A-91184 filed by the Japanese company KASEI OPTONIX. Pigments which are very suitable are also pigments based on zinc sulphide, manufactured by the German company RIEDEL DE HAEN.
- mixtures of luminescent substances can be used, provided that they are resistant to light, heat, pressure, as mentioned above.
- This mixture is applied to a sheet of white paper of 90 g / m2 by gravure printing.
- the cylinder was etched by electronic etching, the cells having a depth of 37 micrometers, the height of the frame being 190 micrometers, and the width of the frame being 210 micrometers.
- the size of the pigment particles is about 0.1 to 40 micrometers, which allows printing with such cells.
- This sheet is subjected to a temperature of 160 ° C. by placing it between two hot plates for 15 minutes. Then we illuminate the paper with UV rays. The blue print appears again.
- Example 2 The same mixture is made as in Example 1, but the mineral pigment is replaced by an organic pigment which is an N-substituted anthranilic acid of the type described in document DE-A-3225966.
- the fluorescent print no longer appears.
- Example 2 The same mixture is made as in Example 1, with pigments sold by the company OPTONIX, under different numbers.
- the resistance to daylight is 3 to 6 measured according to the Wool scale test and the resistance to ultraviolet rays is 5 to 6.
- the Wool scale test corresponds to standards NF T 51056 and NF T 51058. It consists in illuminating a sample comprising an impression with a Xenon lamp for 90 hours or 300 hours and in comparing the sample obtained with strands of wool with shades ranging from 1 to 8, the number 1 corresponding to color degradation, the number 8 corresponding to non-degradation.
- Paper is printed by heliography, using one to five color prints in the traditional way. This paper is then decorated and has this decorative aspect and visible by lighting in natural light. A heliography printing is then carried out by carrying out one to three prints using the ink mixtures of Examples 1 to 9.
- the initial design is not modified in natural light. When we illuminate the paper in ultra-violet light, the initial drawing disappears and it is the superimposed drawing that becomes visible.
- the invention relates not only to a means of marking and recognizing sheets subjected to temperature, and / or to pressure and to light, for long periods of time, but also relates to a new means of decorating these sheets.
- Polyvinyl chloride sheets can also be printed which are laminated to particle board by bonding and pressure. These plates used for furnishing must be resistant to light. It is also possible to print sheets of polyethylene, polypropylene, optionally coated and possibly impregnated with a resin.

Abstract
Description
L'invention concerne une feuille décorative utilisable pour la fabrication de panneaux stratifiés, cette feuille comportant en outre des moyens de reconnaissance et de sécurité. L'invention concerne en outre une composition pour imprimer une telle feuille.The invention relates to a decorative sheet usable for the manufacture of laminated panels, this sheet further comprising recognition and security means. The invention further relates to a composition for printing such a sheet.
On sait qu'il existe principalement deux sortes de panneaux stratifiés : les panneaux dits haute pression et les panneaux dits basse pression.We know that there are mainly two kinds of laminated panels: so-called high pressure panels and so-called low pressure panels.
Depuis de nombreuses années, on emploie des stratifiés comme matériaux dans les habitations et les locaux commerciaux et industriels. Des applications typiques de tels stratifiés sont le revêtement superficiel des murs , des dessus de table, des meubles et autres.For many years, laminates have been used as materials in homes and commercial and industrial premises. Typical applications of such laminates are the surface coating of walls, table tops, furniture and the like.
On produit les stratifiés dits haute pression à partir d'une âme constituée de feuilles imprégnées de résine. Les feuilles sont généralement des feuilles de papier kraft qui a été imprégné d'une résine thermodurcissable et plus particulièrement d'une résine phénolique.The so-called high pressure laminates are produced from a core consisting of sheets impregnated with resin. The sheets are generally sheets of kraft paper which has been impregnated with a thermosetting resin and more particularly with a phenolic resin.
Lorsque le papier kraft a été imprégné de résine, on sèche les feuilles, on les découpe, puis on les empile les unes sur les autres. Le nombre des feuilles de la pile dépend des applications et peut varier entre 3 et 9, mais peut être supérieur.When the kraft paper has been impregnated with resin, the sheets are dried, cut, then stacked on top of each other. The number of sheets in the stack depends on the applications and can vary between 3 and 9, but can be higher.
On place ensuite sur la pile de feuilles constituant l'âme, une feuille décorative qui est en général une feuille de papier portant un motif imprimé ou de couleur claire, et imprégnée d'une résine thermodurcissable ne noircissant pas à la chaleur, par exemple des résines de mélamine-formaldéhyde, des résines de benzoguanami- ne-formaldéhyde, des résines de polyester insaturé. En général, on place au-dessus de la feuille décorative, une feuille protectrice de recouvrement, dépourvue de motif et transparente dans le stratifié final. En terme de métier, cette feuille protectrice est appelée "over-lay". On place ensuite la pile de feuilles imprégnées dans une presse munie d'une tôle conférant l'état de surface. On densifie ensuite la pile par chauffage et pressage pour obtenir une structure unitaire.Then placed on the pile of sheets constituting the core, a decorative sheet which is generally a sheet of paper carrying a printed or light-colored pattern, and impregnated with a thermosetting resin which does not blacken with heat, for example melamine-formaldehyde resins, benzoguanamine-formaldehyde resins, unsaturated polyester resins. In general, a protective cover sheet, without a pattern and transparent in the final laminate, is placed above the decorative sheet. In terms of profession, this protective sheet is called "over-lay". The stack of impregnated sheets is then placed in a press fitted with a sheet giving the surface condition. The stack is then densified by heating and pressing to obtain a unitary structure.
Pendant la densification, les résines thermodurcissables sont transformées en forme thermodurcie et on obtient une matière extrêmement dure et ayant un effet décoratif.During densification, the thermosetting resins are transformed into thermosetting form and an extremely hard material with a decorative effect is obtained.
On produit des stratifiés dits basse pression de façon similaire à celle des stratifiés haute pression, mais on effectue la stratification de la feuille décorative directement sur un panneau de particules de bois ou tout autre support de base.So-called low pressure laminates are produced in a similar manner to that of high pressure laminates, but the decorative sheet is laminated directly on a particle board or any other basic support.
La feuille décorative est traditionnellement fabriquée de la manière suivante. On fabrique une feuille de papier en égouttant sur une toile plate une suspension aqueuse de fibres de cellulose, longues et/ou courtes, blanchies et/ou non blanchies, de charges, de liants. La feuille ainsi formée est égouttée, pressée et séchée pour formée une feuille de papier. Cette feuille est ensuite imprimée. L'impression faite habituellement est une impression par héliogravure, au moyen de rouleaux gravés. La technique de gravure consiste à effectuer un dessin, par exemple reproduisant un bois ou un dessin artistique purement de fantaisie. Puis on prend la photographie de ce dessin et à partir des films obtenus, on grave un ou plusieurs rouleaux d'impression. Chaque cylindre passe ensuite dans un bain d'encre, et les creux ou empreintes gravés dans le cylindre se remplissent d'encre qui est ensuite reportée sur le papier. On effectue en général de une à cinq impressions distinctes et successives à l'aide de un à cinq rouleaux.The decorative sheet is traditionally made in the following manner. A sheet of paper is made by draining on a flat canvas an aqueous suspension of cellulose fibers, long and / or short, bleached and / or unbleached, fillers, binders. The sheet thus formed is drained, pressed and dried to form a sheet of paper. This sheet is then printed. The impression usually made is a gravure printing, by means of engraved rollers. The engraving technique consists in making a drawing, for example reproducing a wood or a purely fancy artistic drawing. Then we take the photograph of this drawing and from the films obtained, we engrave one or more printing rollers. Each cylinder then passes through an ink bath, and the indentations or imprints engraved in the cylinder are filled with ink which is then transferred to the paper. Generally one to five separate and successive prints are made using one to five rolls.
On comprend que le procédé d'impression par héliogravure permet à partir d'un dessin d'imprimer une feuille de papier. Or, ceci pose un problème à l'imprimeur de la feuille décorative. En effet, si le dessin est un dessin original, créé par l'imprimeur, n'importe quel autre imprimeur, à partir d'une feuille décorative imprimée, peut faire prendre des photographies de cette feuille et faire graver des cylindres pour obtenir la même impression. Les contrefaçons peuvent donc être nombreuses et il n'est en général pas possible de les détecter ou d'avoir la preuve intangible qu'il s'agit de contrefaçons.We understand that the gravure printing process allows from a drawing to print a sheet of paper. However, this poses a problem for the printer of the decorative sheet. Indeed, if the drawing is an original drawing, created by the printer, any other printer, from a printed decorative sheet, can have photographs taken of this sheet and have cylinders engraved to obtain the same impression. Counterfeits can therefore be numerous and it is generally not possible to detect them or have intangible proof that they are counterfeits.
L'invention vise donc à résoudre ce problème.The invention therefore aims to solve this problem.
Un autre problème qui se pose, est l'identification du fabricant de stratifiés. En effet, le fabricant de feuille décorative peut vendre la même feuille authentique à plusieurs fabricants de stratifiés. Chaque fabricant de stratifié porte en général sa marque sur le stratifié, au moyen d'une étiquette plus ou moins amovible. Là encore, se pose le problème de l'identification du fabricant d'un stratifié particulier. L'invention vise à résoudre ce deuxième problème.Another problem that arises is the identification of the laminate manufacturer. Indeed, the decorative sheet manufacturer can sell the same authentic sheet to several laminate manufacturers. Each laminate manufacturer generally bears his mark on the laminate, by means of a more or less removable label. Again, there is the problem of identifying the manufacturer of a particular laminate. The invention aims to solve this second problem.
Un autre problème qui se pose est que les feuilles qui sont en général utilisées pour la fabrication de meubles sont soumises pendant des périodes prolongées à la lumière naturelle ou artificielle.Another problem which arises is that the sheets which are generally used for the manufacture of furniture are subjected for prolonged periods to natural or artificial light.
Un but de l'invention est donc de fournir une feuille décorative pour panneaux stratifiés, comportant des moyens de reconnaissance de l'origine des stratifiés.An object of the invention is therefore to provide a decorative sheet for laminate panels, comprising means for recognizing the origin of the laminates.
A cet effet, l'invention concerne une feuille utilisable pour la fabrication de panneaux stratifiés, destinée à être soumise à l'action prolongée de la lumière, caractérisée en ce qu'elle comporte une impression au moins résistant à la lumière, cette impression ayant une première teinte à la lumière naturelle et une seconde teinte, différente de la première, à la lumière artificielle.To this end, the invention relates to a sheet usable for the manufacture of laminated panels, intended to be subjected to the prolonged action of light, characterized in that it comprises an impression at least resistant to light, this impression having a first shade in natural light and a second shade, different from the first, in artificial light.
De préférence, le premier dessin est invisible à la lumière naturelle et le second dessin est visible à la lumière artificielle. Par lumière naturelle, on entend une source lumineuse dont les longueurs d'onde sont comprises entre 400 et 700 nanomètres et par lumière artificielle, une source lumineuse dont les longueurs d'onde sont inférieures à 400 nanomètres et supérieures à 700 nanomètres.Preferably, the first design is invisible to natural light and the second design is visible to artificial light. By natural light is meant a light source whose wavelengths are between 400 and 700 nanometers and by artificial light, a light source whose wavelengths are less than 400 nanometers and greater than 700 nanometers.
On sait en effet que certains pigments et colorants sont luminescents. Ces matériaux sont appelés communément "phosphores". Ces pigments peuvent être fluorescents ou phosphorescents. La sensation de couleur produite par les pigments ou colorants conventionnels qui ne sont pas luminescents résulte de l'absorption sélective des longueurs d'onde dans la partie visible du spectre. Les longueurs d'onde qui ne sont pas absorbées sont réfléchies ou transmises, ce qui donne la sensation de couleur. Cette sensation de couleur est absente lorsqu'il n'y a pas de source de lumière visible, car il n'y a pas d'énergie à réfléchir ou à transmettre.We know that certain pigments and dyes are luminescent. These materials are commonly called "phosphors". These pigments can be fluorescent or phosphorescent. The color sensation produced by conventional pigments or dyes which are not luminescent results from the selective absorption of wavelengths in the visible part of the spectrum. Wavelengths that are not absorbed are reflected or transmitted, which gives the sensation of color. This feeling of color is absent when there is no visible light source, because there is no energy to reflect or transmit.
Au contraire des colorants ou pigments conventionnels, les pigments luminescents ne réfléchissent pas la lumière, mais ils sont eux-mêmes des sources de lumière. Ils possèdent la propriété d'absorber certaines longueurs d'onde, en général les longueurs d'onde inférieures à 400 nanomètres et invisibles à l'oeil, et de transformer ces longueurs d'onde en longueurs d'onde visibles. Les longueurs d'onde ainsi émises produisent une sensation de couleur. Quand l'émission de lumière continue pendant une période de temps non négligeable, après l'extinction de la source d'énergie d'excitation, le matériau est dit phosphorescent. On a décrit des pigments à base de sulfure de zinc dans le documenet Kirk-Othmer: Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 3rd ed, volume 17. Ces pigments sont décrits comme stables chimiquement.Unlike conventional dyes or pigments, luminescent pigments do not reflect light, but they are themselves sources of light. They have the property of absorbing certain wavelengths, generally wavelengths less than 400 nanometers and invisible to the eye, and of transforming these wavelengths into visible wavelengths. The wavelengths thus emitted produce a sensation of color. When the emission of light continues for a non-negligible period of time, after the excitation energy source has been switched off, the material is said to be phosphorescent. Pigments based on zinc sulfide have been described in the Kirk-Othmer documenet: Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 3rd ed, volume 17. These pigments are described as chemically stable.
De nombreuses publications ont décrit la synthèse de tels matériaux luminescents.Many publications have described the synthesis of such luminescent materials.
On citera comme référence les publications suivantes : EP-A-15382, EP-A-21342, EP-A-123947.The following publications will be cited as references: EP-A-15382, EP-A-21342, EP-A-123947.
On sait par ailleurs, qu'il est connu d'introduire des pigments à l'intérieur du papier, notamment par les publications FR-A-2 478 695 et EP-A-226367. Ces pigments sont dispersés dans le papier et ce dernier est utilisé comme papier de sécurité pour chèques, billets de banque, etc.We also know that it is known to introduce pigments inside the paper, in particular by the publications FR-A-2 478 695 and EP-A-226367. These pigments are dispersed in the paper and the latter is used as security paper for checks, banknotes, etc.
Le document EP-A-147252 décrit un mélange d'une substance luminescente et d'une substance anti- stockes. Un tel mélange peut être utilisé pour le marquage de documents pour prévenir la contrefaçon, par exemple des billets de banque, papiers fiduciaires. Les compositions peuvent être introduites sur le papier et peuvent être introduites dans des encres d'imprimerie. Ces encres sont des encres grasses, c'est-à-dire contenant une huile et l'impression est faite par offset ou en taille douce. Or jusqu'à présent, le problème du marquage de feuilles résistant à la chaleur et pouvant être utilisées pour décorer des stratifiés n'a jamais été posé.Document EP-A-147252 describes a mixture of a luminescent substance and an anti-storage substance. Such a mixture can be used for marking documents to prevent counterfeiting, for example bank notes, fiduciary papers. The compositions can be introduced onto paper and can be introduced into printing inks. These inks are fatty inks, that is to say containing an oil and the printing is done by offset or intaglio. So far, the problem of marking heat-resistant sheets that can be used to decorate laminates has never been posed.
On a décrit dans le document AU-A-518 156 une feuille de papier comportant une impression au moins résistant à la lumière présentant une première teinte à la lumière de longueur d'onde comprise entre 400 et 700 nm et une seconde teinte différente de la première à la longueur d'onde inférieure à 400 nm, l'impression étant une impression heliographique. Cependant, il ne s'agit pas d'un papier utilisable pour la fabrication de stratifiés.Document AU-A-518,156 describes a sheet of paper comprising an at least light-resistant printing having a first light shade of wavelength between 400 and 700 nm and a second shade different from the first at the wavelength less than 400 nm, the impression being a heliographic impression. However, it is not a paper usable for the manufacture of laminates.
Le document DE-A-2 910 176 décrit un procédé pour caractériser des emballages de disques à l'aide d'une impression fluorescente.Document DE-A-2 910 176 describes a method for characterizing disc packaging using fluorescent printing.
Le document GB-2 147 542 décrit un article imprimé à l'aide d'un matériau fluorescent ou synthétique.GB-2,147,542 describes an article printed using fluorescent or synthetic material.
Le document EP 0253 543 décrit une encre d'impression comprenant un composé métallique, un composé luminescent et un ou plusieurs composés inertes. On utilise une telle encre pour les cartes de crédit.EP 0253 543 describes a printing ink comprising a metallic compound, a luminescent compound and one or more inert compounds. Such ink is used for credit cards.
Le document "Research Disclosure" n° 160, août 1977, HAVANT GB, page 60 an, décrit un document imprimé à l'aide d'une encre fluorescente et d'une encre non fluorescente.The document "Research Disclosure" n ° 160, August 1977, HAVANT GB, page 60 years, describes a document printed using a fluorescent ink and a non-fluorescent ink.
Aucun de ces documents ne décrit un papier imprimé à l'aide d'au moins une encre fluorescente, utilisable pour la fabrication de panneaux stratifiés obtenus par basse ou haute pression et soumis à des températures élevées lors de la stratification.None of these documents describes a paper printed using at least one fluorescent ink, usable for the manufacture of laminated panels obtained by low or high pressure and subjected to high temperatures during lamination.
Or, un problème technique essentiel à résoudre est le fait que les feuilles sont destinées à être soumises à la chaleur, pendant une durée de plusieurs dizaines de minutes, voire de plusieurs heures. En effet, lorsqu'il s'agit de feuilles pour stratifiés, lors de la densification, la feuille est soumise à des températures de plus de 100°C, pendant 20 minutes. De même, lorsque l'on fabrique des papiers recouverts de métal ou métallisé, ces papiers sont soumis à des températures élevées, notamment lorsqu'on effectue des dorures à chaud.However, an essential technical problem to be solved is the fact that the sheets are intended to be subjected to heat, for a period of several tens of minutes, or even several hours. Indeed, when it comes to laminate sheets, during densification, the sheet is subjected to temperatures of more than 100 ° C., for 20 minutes. Similarly, when manufacturing papers covered with metal or metallized, these papers are subjected to high temperatures, especially when hot stamping is carried out.
Le marquage de feuilles, par exemple pour stratifiés pose en outre des problèmes différents et supplémentaires du marquage de papier pour billets de banque et autres documents de sécurité.Marking sheets, for example for laminates, also poses different and additional problems of marking paper for banknotes and other security documents.
En effet, les feuilles décoratives pour stratifiés sont obligatoirement imprégnées d'une résine thermodurcissable. Lorsqu'on effectue la densification, on place la feuille imprégnée sur une panneau de particules ou une pile de feuilles de papier kraft imprégnées. Puis on presse l'ensemble contre une tôle. Or, un problème technique posé est que les impressions ne doivent pas se transférer depuis la feuille décorative sur la tôle qui doit rester nette.In fact, the decorative sheets for laminates are necessarily impregnated with a thermosetting resin. When densification is carried out, the impregnated sheet is placed on a particle board or a stack of impregnated kraft paper sheets. Then we press the assembly against a sheet. However, a technical problem posed is that the prints must not transfer from the decorative sheet onto the sheet which must remain clean.
Un deuxième problème technique à résoudre est que lors de l'imprégnation, la feuille décorative passeA second technical problem to be solved is that during the impregnation, the decorative sheet passes
dans un bain d'imprégnation. Les impressions ne doivent donc pas migrer dans le bain d'imprégnation et ne doivent pas le polluer. En effet, si la résine d'imprégnation est polluée par l'impression, lors de la stratification postérieure, la résine thermodurcissable flue sous l'action de la chaleur et de la pression et si elle contient des substances luminescentes d'impression, celles-ci fluent en même temps et provoquent un maculage de l'impression finale.in an impregnation bath. The impressions must therefore not migrate into the impregnation bath and must not pollute it. In fact, if the impregnation resin is polluted by printing, during the subsequent stratification, the thermosetting resin creeps under the action of heat and pressure and if it contains luminescent printing substances, these these flow together and cause smudging of the final impression.
Un autre problème technique à résoudre est que lorsque l'on frotte la feuille imprimée, il ne faut pas que la substance luminescente se détache. La résistance au frottement doit donc être élevée. En outre, l'impré- gnabilité de la feuille décorative doit être conservée.Another technical problem to be solved is that when the printed sheet is rubbed, the luminescent substance must not come off. The friction resistance must therefore be high. In addition, the impregnability of the decorative sheet must be preserved.
Enfin, il est essentiel que les substances luminescentes utilisées aient une très bonne tenue à la lumière. En effet, ces feuilles peuvent être utilisées pour les panneaux servant de matériaux dans les habitations et les dessus de meubles et ils sont donc destinés à être soumis à l'action de la lumière pendant des périodes de temps prolongées.Finally, it is essential that the luminescent substances used have a very good resistance to light. Indeed, these sheets can be used for panels used as materials in homes and furniture tops and they are therefore intended to be subjected to the action of light for extended periods of time.
La demanderesse a essayé de nombreuses substances luminescentes vendues dans le commerce et a pu constater que celles qui conviennent bien sont des pigments minéraux. En effet, les molécules organiques sont très sensibles aux conditions extérieurs et se dégradent facilement à la lumière, ainsi qu'à la chaleur.The Applicant has tried many luminescent substances sold on the market and has been able to find that those which are well suited are mineral pigments. Indeed, organic molecules are very sensitive to external conditions and degrade easily in light, as well as in heat.
La demanderesse a pu mettre en oeuvre des pigments minéraux ayant une très bonne tenue à la lumière et résistent à des températures élevées pendant des temps importants, à savoir des températures supérieures à 100°C, de préférence comprises entre 140 et 200°C, par exemple 140-150°C pendant au moins 10 mn à 2 heures, par exemple 20 à 30 minutes.The Applicant has been able to use mineral pigments having a very good resistance to light and resist high temperatures for long periods of time, namely temperatures above 100 ° C., preferably between 140 and 200 ° C., by example 140-150 ° C for at least 10 min to 2 hours, for example 20 to 30 minutes.
On a constaté de manière surprenante que des substances luminescentes utilisées selon l'invention telles que les sulfures de zinc ou leur mélange avec d'autres sulfures métalliques sont résistantes à la chaleur, pendant des prériodes de temps de plus de 10 min.It has surprisingly been found that luminescent substances used according to the invention such as zinc sulfides or their mixture with other metallic sulfides are resistant to heat, for periods of time of more than 10 min.
Plus préférentiellement, les substances luminescentes sont des pigments à base de sulfure de zinc en mélange avec du sulfure de cadmium. Ces pigments peuvent avoir une taille de particules inférieure à 40 micromètres.More preferably, the luminescent substances are pigments based on zinc sulfide in admixture with cadmium sulfide. These pigments can have a particle size of less than 40 micrometers.
On peut utiliser des pigments de sulfure de zinc ou sulfure de zinc et cadmium qui sont activés par du cuivre. Leur méthode de préparation est connue et est par exemple décrite dans H.W. Leverenz, An introduction to luminescence of solids : S. John, Wiley & Sons, Inc. New York, Chapman & Hall Ltd London, 1950.Pigments of zinc sulfide or zinc sulfide and cadmium which are activated by copper can be used. Their preparation method is known and is for example described in H.W. Leverenz, An introduction to luminescence of solids: S. John, Wiley & Sons, Inc. New York, Chapman & Hall Ltd London, 1950.
Des pigments à base de sulfure de zinc émettant dans diverses longueurs d'onde ont été décrits dans les demandes de brevet EP-A-34059, EP-A-78538, EP-A-91184 déposées par la société japonaise KASEI OPTONIX. Des pigments qui conviennent bien sont aussi les pigments à base de sulfure de zinc, fabriqués par la société allemande RIEDEL DE HAEN.Pigments based on zinc sulfide emitting in various wavelengths have been described in patent applications EP-A-34059, EP-A-78538, EP-A-91184 filed by the Japanese company KASEI OPTONIX. Pigments which are very suitable are also pigments based on zinc sulphide, manufactured by the German company RIEDEL DE HAEN.
Bien entendu, selon l'invention, on peut utiliser des mélanges de substances luminescentes, à condition qu'elles soient résistantes à la lumière, la chaleur, la pression, comme mentionné précédemment.Of course, according to the invention, mixtures of luminescent substances can be used, provided that they are resistant to light, heat, pressure, as mentioned above.
La description suivante, en regard des exemples, permettra de comprendre comment l'invention peut être mise en pratique.The following description, with reference to the examples, will make it possible to understand how the invention can be put into practice.
On mélange successivement 18,9 parties de pigment vendu par la société RIEDEL DE HAEN sous la référence Lumilux CD 704. Il s'agit18.9 parts of pigment sold by RIEDEL DE HAEN under the reference Lumilux CD 704 are mixed successively.
d'un sulfure de zinc.zinc sulfide.
9 parties d'eau9 parts of water
3 parties d'alcool, de préférence l'éthanol3 parts alcohol, preferably ethanol
8,8 parties de vernis ou liant pour encre 992209 vendu par SICPA 26,9 parties de vernis 991129 vendu par SICPA 33,5 parties d'un mélange éthanol (2/3) eau (1/3).8.8 parts of varnish or binder for ink 992209 sold by SICPA 26.9 parts of varnish 991129 sold by SICPA 33.5 parts of an ethanol (2/3) water (1/3) mixture.
On applique ce mélange sur une feuille de papier blanc de 90 g/m2 par impression par héliogravure.This mixture is applied to a sheet of white paper of 90 g / m2 by gravure printing.
Le cylindre a été gravé par gravure électronique, les alvéoles ayant une profondeur de 37 micromètres, la hauteur de la trame étant de 190 micromètres, et la largeur de la trame étant de 210 micromètres.The cylinder was etched by electronic etching, the cells having a depth of 37 micrometers, the height of the frame being 190 micrometers, and the width of the frame being 210 micrometers.
La taille des particules de pigment est d'environ 0,1 à 40 micromètres, ce qui permet l'impression avec de telles alvéoles. On obtient un papier qui est blanc à la lumière du jour, mais lorsqu'il est illuminé par des rayons ultra-violets, une impression bleue apparaît alors que le papier blanc devient brun car il ne réfléchit pas et ne transmet pas la lumière.The size of the pigment particles is about 0.1 to 40 micrometers, which allows printing with such cells. We obtain a paper which is white in daylight, but when it is illuminated by ultraviolet rays, a blue impression appears while the white paper becomes brown because it does not reflect and does not transmit light.
On soumet cette feuille à une température de 160°C en la plaçant entre deux plaques chauffantes pendant 15 minutes. Puis on illumine le papier par des rayons U.V. L'impression bleue apparaît de nouveau.This sheet is subjected to a temperature of 160 ° C. by placing it between two hot plates for 15 minutes. Then we illuminate the paper with UV rays. The blue print appears again.
On fait le même mélange que dans l'exemple 1, mais on remplace le pigment minéral par un pigment organique qui est un acide anthranilique N-substitué du type décrit dans le document DE-A-3225966. Lorsqu'on soumet le papier à la température de 200°C pendant 0,5 secondes, l'impression fluorescente n'apparaît plus.The same mixture is made as in Example 1, but the mineral pigment is replaced by an organic pigment which is an N-substituted anthranilic acid of the type described in document DE-A-3225966. When the paper is subjected to the temperature of 200 ° C for 0.5 seconds, the fluorescent print no longer appears.
On fait le même mélange que dans l'exemple 1, avec des pigments vendus par a société OPTONIX, sous différents numéros.
La tenue à la lumière du jour est de 3 à 6 mesuré selon le test de l'échelle de Laine et la tenue aux rayons ultra-violets est de 5 à 6.The resistance to daylight is 3 to 6 measured according to the Wool scale test and the resistance to ultraviolet rays is 5 to 6.
Le test de l'échelle de Laine correspond aux normes NF T 51056 et NF T 51058. Il consiste à éclairer un échantillon comportant une impression avec une lampe au Xénon pendant 90 heures ou 300 heures et à comparer l'échantillon obtenu avec des brins de laine comportant des teintes échelonnées de 1 à 8, le numéro 1 correspondant à la dégradation de teinte, le numéro 8 correspondant à une non dégradation.The Wool scale test corresponds to standards NF T 51056 and NF T 51058. It consists in illuminating a sample comprising an impression with a Xenon lamp for 90 hours or 300 hours and in comparing the sample obtained with strands of wool with shades ranging from 1 to 8, the number 1 corresponding to color degradation, the number 8 corresponding to non-degradation.
On imprime par héliographie un papier en effectuant de une à cinq impressions couleurs de façon traditionnelle. Ce papier est alors décoré et a cet aspect décoratif et visible par éclairage en lumière naturelle. On effectue ensuite une impression par héliographie en effectuant de une à trois impressions à l'aide des mélanges d'encre des exemples 1 à 9. Le dessin initial n'est pas modifié en lumière naturelle. Lorsqu'on éclaire le papier en lumière ultra-violette, le dessin initial disparaît et c'est le dessin superposé qui devient visible.Paper is printed by heliography, using one to five color prints in the traditional way. This paper is then decorated and has this decorative aspect and visible by lighting in natural light. A heliography printing is then carried out by carrying out one to three prints using the ink mixtures of Examples 1 to 9. The initial design is not modified in natural light. When we illuminate the paper in ultra-violet light, the initial drawing disappears and it is the superimposed drawing that becomes visible.
L'invention concerne non seulement un moyen de marquage et de reconnaissance de feuilles soumises à la température, et/ou à la pression et à la lumière, pendant des temps longs, mais concerne aussi un nouveau moyen de décoration de ces feuilles. On peut aussi imprimer des plaques de polychlorure de vinyle qui sont stratifiées sur des panneaux de particules par collage et pression. Ces plaques utilisées pour l'ameublement doivent être résistantes à la lumière. On peut aussi imprimer des feuilles de polyéthylène, polypropylène, éventuellement couchées et éventuellement imprégnées d'une résine.The invention relates not only to a means of marking and recognizing sheets subjected to temperature, and / or to pressure and to light, for long periods of time, but also relates to a new means of decorating these sheets. Polyvinyl chloride sheets can also be printed which are laminated to particle board by bonding and pressure. These plates used for furnishing must be resistant to light. It is also possible to print sheets of polyethylene, polypropylene, optionally coated and possibly impregnated with a resin.
