Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer mehrschichtigen Ausweiskarte. Derartige Ausweiskarten sind als Scheck- und Bankkarten oder als Zugangsberechtigungskarten für Mobilfunksysteme stark verbreitet. Sie bestehen aus mindestens einer Kartenkernschicht, die wenigstens auf einer Seite bedruckt ist, und einer auf der bedruckten Seite der Kartenkernschicht aufgebrachten Deckschicht. Diese Kartenschichten werden im Laminationsverfahren miteinander verbunden.The invention relates to a method for producing a multilayered Identification card. Such identification cards are as check and bank cards or as Access authorization cards for mobile systems widely used. they consist of at least one card core layer printed on at least one side and one on the printed side of the card core layer applied topcoat. These Map layers are bonded together using the lamination process.

Die Deckschicht, die meistens transparent ausgebildet ist, haftet über eine Klebebeschichtung auf der bedruckten Kartenkernschicht, und dient u.a. dem Schutz des Druckes sowie als Träger für zusätzliche Informationen, die z.B. im Thermotransferdruckverfahren aufgebracht werden.The cover layer, which is usually transparent, adheres via an adhesive coating on the printed card core layer, and serves i.a. the protection of the pressure as well as Carrier for additional information, e.g. applied by thermal transfer printing become.

Für die Kartenschichten - Kartenkernschichten wie auch Deckschichten - kommen verschiedene Materialien in Betracht: z.B. Polyvinylchlorid (PVC), Polycarbonat (PC), Acrylnitril-Butadien-Styrol (ABS), Polyethylenterephthalat (PET, PETG, PETF). Die Wahl der Materialien und damit der Kartenaufbau hängt von verschiedenen Faktoren ab. Diese Faktoren sind bspw.: die gewünschten mechanischen Eigenschaften der herzustellenden Ausweiskarte, das Verhalten bei hohen und niedrigen Temperaturen, die Frage der Bedruckbarkeit, die Frage der Laserbeschriftbarkeit sowie wirtschaftliche und ökologische Vorgaben.For the card layers - card core layers as well as cover layers - come various materials: e.g. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polycarbonate (PC), Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polyethylene terephthalate (PET, PETG, PETF). The vote The materials and thus the card structure depends on various factors. These Factors are, for example: the desired mechanical properties of the produced ID card, the behavior at high and low temperatures, the issue of Printability, the question of laser inscribability as well as economic and ecological Requirements.

Je nachdem, welcher Kartenaufbau gewählt wurde, sind unterschiedliche Laminationsparameter (Temperatur und Druck, Zeit) erforderlich. Diese hängen insbesondere davon ab, welches Material für die Kartenkernschichten verwendet wird.Depending on which card structure was chosen, are different Lamination parameters (temperature and pressure, time) required. These depend in particular depending on which material is used for the card core layers.

Nun ist es bekannt, auf die zu bedruckende Kartenkernschicht vor dem Bedrucken eine Klebebeschichtung (Haftvermittler, Haftgrund) aufzubringen, die eine bessere Haftung der Druckfarbe bewirken soll, d.h. das Bedrucken erfolgt auf einer klebebeschichteten Kartenkernschicht und nicht unmittelbar auf der Kartenkernschicht. Diese Vorgehensweise - das Bedrucken auf einer klebebeschichteten Kartenkernschicht - ist insbesondere beim sogennanten digitalen Druckverfahren auf Kunststoffolien notwendig. Beim digitalen Druckverfahren wird das auf die zu bedruckende Kunststoffolie aufzubringende Druckbild mit der Druckfarbe temporär, z.B. mit Hilfe von selektiven elektrostatischen Aufladungen, auf die Druckwalze aufgebracht. Dieses bspw. von Laserdruckern bekannte digitale Druckverfahren ist für die Bedruckung von Kunststoffolien für die Ausweiskartenherstellung erst seit kurzer Zeit bekannt. Die hierbei verwendeten Druckfarben und Druckparameter sind von den bisher klassischer Weise verwendeten Druckverfahren (Offset- und Siebdruck) in diesem Bereich verschieden, worin die Notwendigkeit für das Bedrucken auf einer klebebeschichteten Kartenkernschicht begründet liegt.Now it is known on the card core layer to be printed before printing Apply adhesive coating (primer, primer), the better adhesion of the To effect printing ink, i. the printing is done on a glue-coated Card core layer and not directly on the card core layer. This approach - printing on an adhesive-coated card core layer - is particularly useful in the so-called digital printing process on plastic films necessary. In the digital Printing method is the applied to the plastic film to be printed with printed image the ink temporarily, e.g. with the help of selective electrostatic charges, on the Applied pressure roller. This example. By laser printers known digital printing is only a short time ago for the printing of plastic foils for the Ausweiskartenherstellung Time known. The printing inks and printing parameters used here are of the hitherto Classically used printing process (offset and screen printing) in this area different, wherein the need for printing on a glue-coated Map core layer is justified.

Bei der Lamination einer derart aufgebauten mehrschichtigen Ausweiskarte tritt nun insbesondere bei höheren Laminationstemperaturen (> 120° C) folgendes Problem auf: Und zwar kommt es oberhalb einer bestimmten Laminationstemperatur in unverwünschter Weise zu einem Verzug (Verschiebung, Verschwimmen) der Klebebeschichtungen einschließlich der zwischen diesen eingeschlossenen Druckschicht gegenüber der Deckschicht und der Kartenkernschicht. Die herkömmlicherweise verwendeten Klebebeschichtungen bilden quasi einen Gleitfilm zwischen der Kartenkernschicht und der Deckschicht. Dieses Phänomen läßt sich auf die rheologischen Eigenschaften der verwendeten Materialien zurückführen.In the lamination of such a constructed multi-layer ID card now occurs especially at higher lamination temperatures (> 120 ° C) the following problem: And it comes above a certain Laminationstemperatur in unwanted Way to a delay (displacement, blurring) of the adhesive coatings including the pressure layer trapped therebetween to the cover layer and the card core layer. The conventionally used adhesive coatings form virtually a sliding film between the card core layer and the cover layer. This Phenomenon can be attributed to the rheological properties of the materials used traced.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine mehrschichtige Ausweiskarte der einleitend beschriebenen Art so herzustellen, daß der vorstehend beschriebene Verzug nicht auftritt.The object of the invention is to provide a multilayer identity card of the kind described in the introduction Manufacture type so that the delay described above does not occur.

Erfindungsgemäß werden Klebstoffbeschichtungen verwendet, die mindestens einen Zusatzstoff enthalten, der die Reibung zwischen der Deckschicht und der Kartenkernschicht erhöht, wodurch die Ausbildung eines Gleitfilms verhindert wird. Als hierfür besonders wirksam haben sich die Zusatzstoffe Silica (SiO2), Silikate und Calciumcarbonat (CaCO3) erwiesen. Das Fließverhalten der Klebebeschichtung läßt sich so bei der weiteren Verwendung unter Druck und Temperatur im Laminationsverfahren günstig beeinflussen. According to the invention, adhesive coatings are used which contain at least one additive which increases the friction between the cover layer and the card core layer, whereby the formation of a sliding film is prevented. The additives silica (SiO 2 ), silicates and calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ) have proved to be particularly effective for this purpose. The flow behavior of the adhesive coating can be favorably influenced during further use under pressure and temperature in the lamination process.

Bei den Klebstoffbeschichtungen selbst handelt es sich vorzugsweise um einen thermoplastischen Klebstoff, z.B. auf der Basis von Polyamiden, Polyestern oder Polyurethanen oder deren Copolymeren. Dabei wird in einer Ausführungsform den Klebstofformulierungen nur Silica oder nur Silikat oder nur Calciumcarbonat als Zusatzstoff beigement. In einer alternativen Ausführungsform ist es vorgesehen, in die Klebstofformulierungen ein Gemisch aus zwei oder mehreren Zusatzstoffen einzuarbeiten. Die Oberflächen der verwendeten Zusatzstoffe können außerdem chemisch modifiziert sein, wodurch bspw. die Einbettung der Zusatzstoffe in das Material der Klebstoffbeschichtung verbessert wird. So ist es bspw. bei der Verwendung von Silica (SiO2) als Zusatzstoff vorgesehen, Silica mit unterschiedlichen Silanbeschichtungen einzusetzen.
Als Silica kommen die natürlich vorkommenden Silica, wie Sand, Quarz oder Quarzit, oder die synthetischen Silica in Betracht.The adhesive coatings themselves are preferably a thermoplastic adhesive, for example based on polyamides, polyesters or polyurethanes or their copolymers. In one embodiment, only silica or only silicate or only calcium carbonate as additive is added to the adhesive formulations. In an alternative embodiment, it is intended to incorporate into the adhesive formulations a mixture of two or more additives. The surfaces of the additives used can also be chemically modified, which, for example, the embedding of the additives is improved in the material of the adhesive coating. For example, when using silica (SiO 2 ) as an additive, it is intended to use silica with different silane coatings.
As silica, the naturally occurring silica, such as sand, quartz or quartzite, or the synthetic silica come into consideration.

Als Silikat wird vorzugsweise Talkum verwendet. Als Calciumcarbonat kommen die natürlichen Calciumcarbonate, wie Kreide oder Kalkstein, oder die synthetisch gefällten Calciumcarbonate in Betracht.As the silicate, talc is preferably used. As calcium carbonate come natural calcium carbonates, such as chalk or limestone, or the synthetically precipitated ones Calcium carbonates into consideration.

Der Gewichtsprozentanteil der Zusatzstoffe an den Klebstoffbeschichtungen beträgt mindestens 0,1% und höchsten 60%.The percentage by weight of the additives in the adhesive coatings is at least 0.1% and highest 60%.

Die verwendeten Zusatzstoffe haben eine vergleichsweise große Oberfläche bezogen auf ihr Gewicht. Die Kettenmoleküle der Klebstoffbeschichtungen werden durch die Zusatzstoffe in ihrer Beweglichkeit beeinträchtigt. Außerdem kommt es zu einer Anlagerung von Polymersegmenten der Klebstoffbeschichtung an die Oberfläche der Zusatzstoffe, wodurch auch benachbarte Polymersegmente der Klebstoffbeschichtung hinsichtlich ihrer Beweglichkeit eingeschränkt werden. Insgesamt kann man sagen, daß durch die Anwesenheit der Zusatzsoff die Rheologie der Klebebeschichtung mit Blick auf die Laminationstemperatur dahingehend verändert wird, daß die Viskosität der Klebstoffbeschichtung in für den vorliegenden Verwendungsfall positiver Weise erhöht wird. The additives used have a comparatively large surface area based on it Weight. The chain molecules of the adhesive coatings are protected by the additives in impaired their mobility. In addition, it comes to an attachment of Polymer segments of the adhesive coating to the surface of the additives, thereby also adjacent polymer segments of the adhesive coating in terms of their Mobility are restricted. Overall, one can say that by the presence the Zusatzsoff the rheology of the adhesive coating with a view to the lamination temperature is changed so that the viscosity of the adhesive coating in for the present use case is positively increased.

Anhand der beiden Zeichnungen soll die Erfindung nachfolgend veranschaulicht werden. Es zeigt:

In Fig. 1 sind die zu laminierenden Kartenschichten - zur Verdeutlichung beabstandet voneinander - zwischen den Laminationsblechen (2) einer Laminationspresse dargestellt. Der Kartenaufbau besteht aus zwei jeweils einseitig bedruckten, klebebeschichten Kartenkernschichten (1A,1A*) und zwei klebstoffbeschichteten Deckschichten (1B,1B*), die den bedruckten Kartenkern (1) in "Sandwich-Bauweise" zwischen sich einschließen. Die hinsichtlich dem der Erfindung zugrunde liegenden Problem kritische Grenzfläche (Deckschicht/Kartenkernschicht) ist hier also zweimal vorhanden.In Fig. 1, the card layers to be laminated are spaced apart for clarity from each other - between the lamination sheets (2) of a lamination press shown. Of the Card construction consists of two adhesive layers, each printed on one side Card core layers (1A, 1A *) and two adhesive-coated cover layers (1B, 1B *), the sandwich the printed card core (1) sandwiched between them. The in terms of the problem underlying the invention critical interface (Cover layer / card core layer) is here twice.

Zur Herstellung des erfindungsgemäß laminierten Kartenkörpers wird in bekannter Weise bevorzugt die sogenannte Mehrfachnutzenfertigung - im Unterschied zur Einzelkartenfertigung - eingesetzt, wodurch der Durchsatz gegenüber der Einzelkartenfertigung sehr viel größer ist. Bei der Mehrfachnutzen-Fertigung werden für jede Kartenschicht Mehrfachnutzen-Bogen (bedruckte Kartenkernschicht-Bogen, klebstoffbeschichtete Deckschicht-Bogen) mit jeweils einer Vielzahl von Einzelelementen zur Herstellung einer Vielzahl von laminierten Kartenkörpern eingesetzt. Für diesen Zweck weisen die bedruckten Kartenkernschicht-Bogen eine Vielzahl identischer Druckbilder auf - Nach der Lamination werden die Einzelkartenkörper durch Ausstanzen aus dem Bogen erhalten. Sowohl in der Einzelkartenfertigung als auch in der Mehrfachnutzen-Fertigung sind die Schichten bzw. Bogen passgenau vor der Lamination übereinanderzulegen. Für das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren macht es keinen Unterschied, ob Einzelkartenfertigung oder Mehrfachnutzen-Fertigung durchgeführt wird.For the production of the inventively laminated card body is in a known manner prefers the so-called multiple-use production - in contrast to Single card production - used, whereby the throughput opposite the Single card production is much larger. In the multi-benefit manufacturing are for each Card Layer Multi-Benefit Sheet (Printed Card Core Sheet Sheet, adhesive-coated cover sheet) each having a plurality of individual elements for Production of a variety of laminated card bodies used. For this purpose the printed card core layer sheets have a multiplicity of identical printed images on them, After lamination, the individual card bodies are punched out of the sheet receive. Both in the single card production as well as in the Mehrfachnutzen production are superimpose the layers or sheets precisely before the lamination. For the inventive method makes it no difference whether single-card production or Multiple benefit manufacturing is performed.

In Fig. 2 ist der Ausschnitt (A) aus Fig. 1 vergrößert dargestellt. Man erkennt die Klebstoffbeschichtung (1B0) auf der Deckschicht (1B) sowie die Klebstoffbeschichtung (1A0) und die Druckfarbschicht (1A1) auf der Kartenkernschicht (1A). In den Klebstoffbeschichtungen (1B0, 1A0) befinden sich nun die Zusatzstoffe (Z), die verhindern, daß sich während der Lamination zwischen der Deckschicht (1B0) und der Kartenkernschicht (1A) ein Gleitfilm ausbildet.2, the detail (A) of FIG. 1 is shown enlarged. You recognize that Adhesive coating (1B0) on the topcoat (1B) and the adhesive coating (1A0) and the ink layer (1A1) on the card core layer (1A). In the Adhesive coatings (1B0, 1A0) are now the additives (Z), which prevent that during lamination between the cover layer (1B0) and the card core layer (1A) forms a lubricating film.

Die Dicke der Druckfarbschicht (1A01) beträgt bspw. zwischen 2µm und 10 µm. Die Dicke der Deckschicht (1B) - ohne Klebstoffbeschichtung (1B0) - beträgt bspw. zwischen 40µm und 50µm. Die Dicke der Klebstoffbeschichtung (1B0) auf der Deckschicht (1B) liegt zwischen 0,1 bis 20 µm. Die Dicke der Klebebeschichtung (1A0) auf der Kartenkernschicht (1A) liegt zwischen 0,1 und 10 µm. Die Dicke der Kartenkernschicht (1A) selbst beträgt ca. 300 µm.The thickness of the ink layer (1A01) is, for example, between 2 .mu.m and 10 .mu.m. The fat the cover layer (1B) - without adhesive coating (1B0) - is, for example, between 40 .mu.m and 50 .mu.m. The thickness of the adhesive coating (1B0) on the cover layer (1B) is between 0.1 to 20 μm. The thickness of the adhesive coating (1A0) is on the card core layer (1A) between 0.1 and 10 μm. The thickness of the card core layer (1A) itself is about 300 μm.

Der Verfahrensablauf zur Herstellung der mehrschichtigen Ausweiskarte ist nun wie folgt: In einem 1. Schritt wird die unbedruckte Kartenkernschicht (1A) bereitgestellt. Dann wird in einem 2. Schritt auf diese Kartenkernschicht (1A) die Klebebeschichtung (1) mit den Zusatzstoffen (Z) vollflächig aufgebracht. Dabei wird die Klebebeschichtung (1A0) vorzugsweise in flüssiger Form mittels Walzen gleichmäßig auf der Kartenkernschicht (1A) verteilt. Nach dem Trocknen und Aushärten der Klebebeschichtung (1A) erfolgt dann in einem 3. Schritt das Bedrucken dieser klebebeschichteten Kartenkernschicht (1A) im digitalen Druckverfahren. Anschließend wird dann in einem 4. Schritt die Deckschicht (1B) bereitgestellt, auf der sich ebenfalls eine Klebebeschichtung (1B0) mit Zusatzstoffen (Z) befindet. Dabei wird zur Herstellung dieser klebebeschichteten Deckschicht (1B) die Klebebeschichtung (1B0) vorzugsweise in flüssiger Form mittels Walzen gleichmäßig auf der Deckschicht (1B) verteilt und anschließend getrocknet und ausgehärtet. In einem 5. Schritt werden die Kartenschichten (1B, 1A, 1B*, 1A*) positionsgenau übereinandergelegt und schließlich im letzten Schritt in eine Laminationspresse gebracht, wo sie unter Druck und Wärme miteinander verbunden werden.The procedure for producing the multi-layered ID card is now as follows: In a first step, the unprinted card core layer (1A) is provided. Then it will be in a second step on this card core layer (1A), the adhesive coating (1) with the Additives (Z) applied over the entire surface. The adhesive coating (1A0) is thereby preferably in liquid form by rolling evenly on the card core layer (1A) distributed. After drying and curing of the adhesive coating (1A) is then in a third step, the printing of this adhesive-coated card core layer (1A) in the digital Printing process. Then, in a fourth step, the outer layer (1B) which also has an adhesive coating (1B0) with additives (Z). located. In this case, to produce this adhesive-coated cover layer (1B) the Adhesive coating (1B0) preferably in liquid form by means of rollers evenly on the Cover layer (1B) distributed and then dried and cured. In a 5th step the card layers (1B, 1A, 1B *, 1A *) are superimposed exact position and finally brought into a lamination press in the last step, where they are under pressure and Heat are connected with each other.

Anstatt eine klebebeschichtete Deckschicht zu verwenden, kann auf die bereits bedruckte Kartenkernschicht auch in einem separaten Schritt nur eine Klebebeschichtung mit Zusatzstoffen (Z) aufgebracht werden und anschließend darauf dann eine Deckschicht ohne Klebebeschichtung aufgebracht werden. Auch in diesem Fall erfolgt das Aufbringen der Klebebeschichtung vorzugsweise in flüssiger Form (z.B. als lösungsmittelhaltige Klebstofforumilierung oder als wäßrige Dispersion) mittels Walzen gleichmäßig auf die bedruckte Kartenkernschicht.Instead of using an adhesive-coated topcoat, the already printed on Card core layer also in a separate step only an adhesive coating Additives (Z) are applied and then then a topcoat without Adhesive coating can be applied.
