Definitions

  • the invention relates to transfer films for the application of a at least one lacquer layer and a heat-activatable adhesive layer are formed Decorative layer arrangement on a substrate according to the preamble of claim 1 and with a process for their production.
  • the Security elements very often by means of a transfer film, for example one Hot stamping foil
  • the decorative layer arrangement forming the security element usually at least one layer of paint and one layer of a includes heat-activated adhesive that connects the actual Lacquer layer representing security element or arrangement of lacquer layers with the substrate, for example a bank note, a check, an identification paper or a credit card.
  • the security element is transferred to the Document machine.
  • the processing of transfer foils prepares mostly so-called hot stamping foils, few problems if the machines are trained accordingly.
  • the decorative layer arrangements of hot stamping foils have only one small thickness. They essentially consist of only a few layers of paint. This small thickness of the security elements has the advantage that when the Security elements only arranged in a certain area of the document there are no fundamental differences in thickness in the document. Such differences in thickness could make stacking problematic. On Another advantage of using decorative layer arrangements of several Lacquer layers as security elements is that such layer arrangements are not mechanically very stable. Therefore, when trying to use a security element deducting from the document, it is almost certain to assume that the Security element from the various layers of paint is destroyed, so that the Counterfeiting or attempted counterfeiting can be easily identified.
  • a security element could be customized before being applied to a document. This Possibility is particularly desirable for personal documents. Then it could a security element can be used, which is attached to the Document with personal data of the holder of the document, for example a photo, name or birthday etc. has been individualized.
  • Heat transferable labels are known from US Pat. No. 5,932,319. Here is the Formed such that on a carrier film, for example in the form of a Paper web, a wax release layer is present. On this wax release layer are then successively a protective lacquer layer, a Decorative lacquer layer and an adhesive applied. When transferring the label from Carrier film softens the wax layer due to the action of heat, so that the Decorative layer then made of protective lacquer layer, decorative lacquer and adhesive easily from that Loosen the paper carrier and transfer it to the substrate to be decorated.
  • DE 30 22 744 C2 discloses a transfer film according to the preamble of Claim 1 known, in which one with a carrier for the decorative layer arrangement Plastic film laminated paper web is provided.
  • the invention is based on the object of creating a transfer film, by means of which a security or decorative element can be transferred, the structure of the decorative layer arrangement is basically one in itself known hot stamping foil corresponds, the application of the Decorative layer arrangement on the substrate, for example a document, too should be possible without extensive mechanical equipment.
  • a transfer film is used to achieve this object proposed, which has the features of claim 1.
  • a transfer film is thus proposed in which the Base film siliconized from a surface facing away from the carrier film Paper web is formed, with its siliconized surface on a carrier film, e.g. releasably adheres to a backing paper.
  • a carrier film e.g. releasably adheres to a backing paper.
  • a security element is then used consisting of base film, carrier film and decorative layer arrangement from the carrier film solved and transferred accordingly to the intended substrate.
  • This transfer of individual elements can thereby advantageously be facilitated be that the base film with the carrier film and the decorative layer arrangement in a plurality of label-like individual elements is divided, with several such individual elements arranged on a carrier film web removable from this are.
  • the division is expediently such that the individual elements by Punching or perforation of the base film, carrier film and decorative layer arrangement are formed along their intended peripheral edges, the carrier film not is divided.
  • a particularly advantageous embodiment of the transfer film according to the Invention is designed such that the decorative layer arrangement is transparent and which serves to fix the decorative layer arrangement on the substrate
  • Adhesive layer by means of a printer for example a laser or Thermal printer, is printable.
  • a printer for example a laser or Thermal printer
  • the transfer film for example, by printing the adhesive layer Individualization done.
  • the personal data side of a passport containing a transfer sheet gem. to secure the invention, the basic information already in the factory production of the transfer film in a corresponding Printing process, e.g. between individual layers of the Decorative layer arrangement can be attached while the personal data, e.g.
  • Adhesive layer can be printed using a suitable printer. After this individualizing printing, the transfer film is then printed with the Adhesive layer placed on the substrate and by heat and optionally Pressure attached to the substrate.
  • This embodiment has the advantage that the individualizing information through the decorative layer arrangement of the Transfer film are covered, i.e. a change is not possible without at the same time damage the decorative layer arrangement. If you try that Subtract the decorative layer arrangement from the substrate in order to customize the Changing data can be expected to destroy the decorative layer arrangement become.
  • a further improvement of the transfer film acc. the invention in the sense of a Securing is possible according to the invention in that the decorative layer arrangement at least one on a surface with an optical diffraction and / or holographically effective structure provided replication lacquer layer.
  • Diffraction-optical or holographically effective structures are in themselves of Hot stamping foil decorative layer arrangements formed security elements generally known and therefore do not need to be explained in more detail.
  • the diffraction-optical or holographically effective structure is covered by a reflective layer, generally a vapor-deposited metal layer, and is therefore more visible in incident light.
  • the diffraction-optical and / or holographically effective structure carries a transparent layer of a material whose refractive index is significantly higher than that of the transparent replication lacquer layer.
  • the decorative layer arrangement remains transparent, so that the substrate and any markings provided between the substrate and the decorative layer arrangement can still be seen, for example a print on the adhesive layer of the decorative layer arrangement.
  • the material layer which increases the visibility of the optically active structure is expediently produced by providing, for example, vapor deposition, a layer of ZnS, TiO 2 , SiO or a material which is similar in terms of refraction.
  • the marking can advantageously be formed by printing inks that are only recognizable when illuminated with light of predetermined wavelength ranges. If one speaks of two "adhesive layers", it is not at all required that the two layers of adhesive are assembled and assembled in the same way are. Rather, it is thought in particular of the case that - of the carrier film Seen here - the first layer of adhesive is an adhesion promoter layer, which ensures that the Adhesion to the evaporated, the visibility of the diffractive structure improving layer is particularly good. It would also be conceivable that there is only one layer of adhesive, then in the printing process generated marking directly on the structure-improving visibility Layer should be present.
