Auf diese magnetische Beschichtung kann das erfindungsgemäße Sicherheitselement, die erfindungsgemäße beugungsoptisch wirksame Struktur aufgebracht werden.The inventive security element, the diffraction-optically effective structure according to the invention can be applied to this magnetic coating.
Die erfindungsgemäße beugungsoptische Struktur ist in einen strahlungshärtbaren, vorzugsweise UV-härtbaren Lack eingebracht, der Additve enthält, die die Oberfläche des Lacks elektrostatisch ausrüsten.The diffraction-optical structure according to the invention is introduced into a radiation-curable, preferably UV-curable lacquer which contains additives which electrostatically equip the surface of the lacquer.
Zur Herstellung der erfindungsgemäßen beugungsoptisch wirksamen Struktur wird vorerst ein Trägersubstrat in einem Beschichtungsverfahren wie beispielsweise einem Siebdruck-, Tiefdruck- oder Flexodruckverfahren mit einem strahlungshärtbaren Lack beschichtet. Die Beschichtung kann selektiv oder vollflächig erfolgen.For the production of the structure according to the invention which has an optical diffraction effect, a carrier substrate is initially included in a coating process such as, for example, a screen printing, intaglio or flexographic printing process coated a radiation-curable varnish.

So kann beispielsweise ein Photoinitiator bei einer Wellenlänge von 200 bis 400 nm aktivierbar sein, der zweite Photoinitiator dann bei einer Wellenlänge von 370 bis 600 nm aktivierbar. Zwischen den Aktivierungswellenlängen der beiden Photoinitiatoren sollte genügend Differenz eingehalten werden, damit nicht eine zu starke Anregung des zweiten Photoinitiators erfolgt, während der erste Photoinitiator aktiviert wird. Der Bereich, in dem der zweite Photoinitiator angeregt wird, sollte im Transmissionswellenlängenbereich des verwendeten Trägersubstrats liegen. Für die Haupthärtung (Aktivierung des zweiten Photoinitiators) kann auch Elektronenstrahlung verwendet werden.The radiation-curable lacquer can be, for example, a radiation-curable lacquer system based on a polyester, an epoxy or polyurethane system which contains one or more different photoinitiators known to the person skilled in the art, which can optionally initiate curing of the lacquer system to varying degrees at different wavelengths. Thus, for example, a photoinitiator can be activated at a wavelength of 200 to 400 nm, the second photoinitiator then activatable at a wavelength of 370 to 600 nm. Sufficient difference should be maintained between the activation wavelengths of the two photoinitiators to prevent over-excitation of the second photoinitiator while the first photoinitiator is activated. The region in which the second photoinitiator is excited should be in the transmission wavelength range of the carrier substrate used. For the main curing (activation of the second photoinitiator) also electron radiation can be used.

Die Abformung der Oberflächenstruktur, also der Diffraktions-, Beugungs- oder Reliefstruktur erfolgt beispielsweise bei kontrollierter Temperatur mittels einer Matrize oder unter Verwendung einer Prägeform in die strahlungshärtbare Lackschicht. Gegebenenfalls kann die Lackschicht durch Aktivierung des ersten Photoinitiators bis zum Gelpunkt vorgehärtet sein und sich zum Zeitpunkt der Abformung in diesem Stadium befinden.

The appearance, as well as the mechanical, physical and chemical properties and resistances of the diffractive optical effective layer are not affected.
In einer weiteren Ausführungsform kann die magnetische Beschichtung nicht auf dem Träger des Wertdokuments, der Smartcard etc. oder der Verpackung aufgebracht sein, sondern direkt auf der beugungsoptisch wirksamen Struktur und mit dieser dann auf den Träger des Wertdokuments, der Smartcard, etc. oder die Verpackung transferiert werden.In a further embodiment, the magnetic coating can not be applied to the support of the value document, the smart card, etc. or the packaging, but directly to the structure which has an optical diffraction effect and then to the support of the value document, the smartcard, etc. or the packaging be transferred.
Die erfindungsgemäßen Sicherheitsmerkmale werden gegebenenfalls nach entsprechender Konfektionierung (beispielsweise zu Fäden, Bändern Streifen, Patches oder anderen Formaten) daher als Sicherheitselemente auf Datenträgern, insbesondere Wertdokumenten wie Ausweisen, Karten, Banknoten oder Etiketten, Siegeln und dergleichen, aber auch in Verpackungsmaterial für sensible Güter, wie Pharmazeutika, Kosmetika, Datenträger, elektronische Bauteile und dergleichen verwendet.The security features according to the invention, where appropriate after appropriate fabrication (for example into threads, strips, patches or other formats), can therefore be used as security elements on data carriers, in particular value documents such as identity cards, cards, banknotes or labels, seals and the like, but also in packaging material for sensitive goods. such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, data carriers, electronic components and the like.
