Definitions

  • the invention relates to a security element for security papers, banknotes, identity cards or the like, as well as a security paper and a value document with such a security element. Furthermore, the invention relates to methods for producing the security element or the security paper and the value document with such a security element.
  • a security thread is proposed in EP 0 330 733 A1, which can be checked both visually and by machine.
  • a translucent plastic film is coated with metal and this coating is provided with cutouts in the form of characters or patterns.
  • the security thread contains coloring and / or luminescent substances in the areas congruent with the cutouts, as a result of which the characters or patterns differ in color contrasting from the opaque metal coating under suitable lighting conditions.
  • An aluminum layer is preferably used as the metal layer.
  • This security thread is embedded in so-called “window security thread" in security paper, ie it is virtually woven into the paper during the formation of the security paper, so that it is freely accessible at regular intervals on the surface of the paper and only completely in the intermediate areas Paper is embedded.
  • This security thread already meets a very high security standard.
  • the continuous metallic coating enables the electrical conductivity to be checked mechanically, while the recesses serve as a visual authenticity feature that can be recognized by the viewer in transmission.
  • the thread has an additional feature that is not readily recognizable by the viewer, namely the luminescence in the area of the cutouts, which is also mechanical is verifiable.
  • the metallic gloss of the window areas is particularly striking. This gloss can be imitated by simply gluing on aluminum foil elements. In the case of a fleeting inspection only in incident light, such counterfeits could therefore be considered real banknotes.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of proposing a security element as well as a security paper and a value document which has increased security against forgery in comparison with the prior art.
  • the security element has at least two metal layers of different colors, which are arranged on the same surface of the security element and preferably directly adjoin one another at least in some areas.
  • the optical impression of such a security element can be imitated, if at all, only with very great effort, in particular if the differently colored metal layers are applied in complicated patterns, which may also be intertwined.
  • a multicolored metallic image motif can be created, which is composed of differently colored metals.
  • the metal layers are preferably arranged on a plastic layer that is part of the security element.
  • the metal layers also do not have to be arranged in one plane of the security element, but can at least partially overlap. be arranged to each other.
  • the visible color impression can be varied via the layer thickness of the metal layers. If at least the layer thickness of the upper layer is chosen so thin that it is translucent, the viewer perceives the mixed color of the two metal layers.
  • the two metal layers can also be arranged one over the other over a large area, recesses being made in regions in the upper metal layer by additional measures, in which the lower metal layer is visible. If the lower metal layer also has interruptions, which are preferably arranged offset to the cutouts in the upper layer, and if the security element is arranged in such a way that it can be observed on both sides, two differently colored metal layers can be perceived from both sides.
  • three and more metal layers can also be arranged one above the other and exposed in certain areas by special measures.
  • not all metal layers necessarily have to be arranged on the same surface of the security element.
  • not all metal layers have to have a different intrinsic color.
  • the color impression can also be determined by printing on a transparent printing ink.
  • the metals can be, for example, aluminum, chromium, nickel, copper, gold, silver or other “non-ferrous metals” or colored metal alloys.
  • Metallic-looking compounds such as gold-colored titanium nitride can also be used.
  • Another way to increase the security against counterfeiting is to use metals with different physical properties, in particular to use their different magnetic or electrical properties.
  • metals with different physical properties for example, iron and aluminum differ in both their color and their magnetic properties. This difference can be measured and therefore serves as a verifiable authenticity feature.
  • the security against counterfeiting can be further increased if the metal layers have cutouts in the form of alphanumeric characters, patterns, logos or the like.
  • the security element can be a security thread which consists of a self-supporting plastic film to which the differently colored metal layers are applied.
  • This security thread can be at least partially incorporated into a security paper or security document.
  • the plastic film of the security element can also be provided with diffraction structures in the form of a relief structure.
  • the diffraction structures can be any diffraction-optical structures, such as holograms or grating structures (e.g. Kinegramme®, pixelgrams) or the like.
  • the security element can also be designed as a transfer element. This variant is particularly advantageous if the security element is arranged completely on the surface of the security paper or value document.
  • the layer structure of the security element is prepared on a carrier film, usually a plastic film and then transferred in a hot stamping process in the desired outline contours to the security paper or value document.
  • a diffraction structure can of course be integrated into the layer structure of the security element.
  • the security element can have further security features, such as a thin-layer structure, a printed image or the like.
  • the security element is arranged on the surface of the security paper or value document, it can have any outline structures, such as round, oval, star-shaped, rectangular, trapezoidal or stripe-shaped outline contours.
  • the security paper or value document to which the security element is applied has a continuous opening.
  • the security element is arranged in the area of the opening and projects beyond it on all sides.
  • the security element can be checked from the front and the back.
  • the different metals are also recognizable from both sides and are absolutely "congruent”. Imitation of the color effect in this embodiment is therefore particularly difficult or completely impossible.
  • the use of the security element according to the invention is not limited to the area of security documents.
  • the security element according to the invention can also be used advantageously in the field of product security for counterfeiting security of any goods.
  • the security element can have additional anti-theft elements, such as a coil or a chip. point. The same applies to the security paper or value document provided with such a security element.
  • the metal layers are preferably applied using a vacuum evaporation system, the individual metallic areas being produced in each case using masks. If more than two metal layers are used, individual ones of the metal layers can be produced by printing on metallic effect colors or colors containing metallic pigments.
  • the cutouts in the respective metal layers are preferably produced with the aid of a washing process, as described in WO 99/13157, to which reference is expressly made here.
  • the security elements are prepared as a security film that has several uses of the security element.
  • the base material forms a self-supporting, preferably transparent plastic film. In the case of security threads or labels, this plastic film corresponds to the plastic layer of the security element according to the invention. If the security elements are removed from an embossing film, the plastic film forms the carrier material of this transfer material, to which the plastic layer is applied, for example in the form of a lacquer layer. Diffraction structures can be embossed into this lacquer layer or, in the case of security threads or labels, into the plastic film.
  • the plastic layer of the security element according to the invention is preferably printed in gravure in the form of the later cutouts.
  • a printing ink with a high pigment content is used for this, which forms a porous, raised ink application.
  • the differently colored metal layers are then, if necessary, evaporated onto the printed plastic layer with the aid of masks.
  • the paint application and the metal layer above it are washed out with a Liquid, possibly combined with mechanical action, removed.
  • a water-soluble printing ink is preferably used, so that water can be used as the liquid. This process is therefore very environmentally friendly and does not require any special protective measures.
  • This method also has the advantage that the cutouts for both or more metal layers are produced in one operation. The washing out can be supported by mechanical means, such as a rotating roller, brush or ultrasound.
  • etching techniques are much more complex, but in principle it is also possible.
  • the metal layers are first deposited on the plastic layer and then the entire surface, except for the areas to be removed, is printed with a protective lacquer layer.
  • the entire security element layer structure is then passed through an etching bath in which the uncovered areas are detached from the plastic layer. If different etching baths are necessary for the different metals, the process of masking or immersion in an etching bath must be repeated with different etching solutions. Neutralization and cleaning baths must be provided between the individual etching baths so that the chemicals in the individual baths are not contaminated.
  • Another possibility is to generate the cutouts in the metal layers by means of electrolysis.
  • the metal layers are first deposited on the plastic layer and then a passivation layer is printed on the remaining metallic areas.
  • the security element layer structure is finally passed through an electrolysis bath in which the metal layer is used as the cathode.
  • the electrolyte solution to be used as well -Voltage must be matched to the metals used.
  • the principle of this method is known to the person skilled in the art and is explained in more detail, for example, in WO 00/02733, to which reference is likewise expressly made here.
  • Luminescent substances, liquid-crystalline substances, metallic printing inks or metal bronzes can be arranged in the intermediate areas free of metal layers and serve as a further authenticity feature.
