Definitions

  • the invention relates to a security element that can be verified without tools.
  • WO 2004/014663 A is a process for the production of counterfeit-proof identification features consisting of at least one layer reflecting electromagnetic waves, a spacer layer and a layer formed by metallic clusters, whereby a layer reflecting electromagnetic waves on a partial or full surface and then one or more partial and/or full-surface layers are applied to a carrier substrate polymeric layers of defined thickness are applied, whereupon a layer formed from metallic clusters, which is produced by means of a vacuum technology process or from solvent-based systems, is applied to the spacer layer.
  • the identification feature shows different colors or color effects depending on the viewing angle.
  • the object of the invention was to provide a security element that can be easily and reliably verified at any time by untrained persons without technical aids and still ensures a very high level of protection against forgery.
  • the subject matter of the invention is therefore a security element having a transparent carrier substrate and a color change element consisting of a layer that reflects electromagnetic waves, a spacer layer and a layer formed from metallic clusters, the layer reflecting electromagnetic waves being at least partially on the transparent carrier substrate as a line grid and partially as a full-area layer of one or more dissimilar metals as defined in claim 1.
  • the carrier foils preferably have a thickness of 5-700 ⁇ m, preferably 5-200 ⁇ m, particularly preferably 5-50 ⁇ m.
  • the color change element is preferably an analog WO 2004/014663 A manufactured element consisting of an electromagnetic wave reflecting layer, a spacer layer and metallic cluster layer.
  • the layer reflecting electromagnetic waves consists of one or more different metals such as aluminum, gold, chromium, silver, copper, tin, platinum, nickel, palladium, titanium and their alloys, e.g. nickel/chromium, copper/aluminum and the like.
  • the layer that reflects electromagnetic waves is applied at least partially in the form of a line grid, for example in the form of letters, characters, guilloches, patterns, symbols and the like, with the metallization appearing translucent in this area.
  • the grid has about 40-200, preferably 60-120, particularly preferably 70-90 l/cm.
  • the metallization is applied over the entire surface and is therefore opaque.
  • the fully metallized areas can consist of the same metal or of 2 or more different metals.
  • the layer that reflects electromagnetic waves can be applied in certain areas in the form of a line grid or in the other areas over the entire surface using known methods such as spraying, vapor deposition, sputtering, printing (gravure, flexo, screen, digital printing), varnishing, roller application methods, or Metallization and subsequent demetallization processes and the like can be applied.
  • the subsequent polymer layer or layers can also be applied over the whole area or partially.
  • the polymer layers consist, for example, of paint or lacquer systems based on nitrocellulose, epoxy, polyester, rosin, acrylate, alkyd, melamine, PVA, PVC, isocyanate or urethane systems.
  • This polymeric layer essentially serves as a transparent spacer layer.
  • the polymeric layer can be applied by any desired coating method such as brushing, painting, pouring, spraying, printing (screen printing, gravure printing, flexographic printing, or digital printing methods) or roller application methods.
  • a layer formed from metallic clusters is then applied to the polymeric layer.
  • the metallic clusters can consist, for example, of aluminum, gold, palladium, platinum, chromium, silver, copper, nickel and the like or their alloys, such as Au/Pd or Cr/Ni.
  • This cluster layer can be applied by sputtering (for example ion beam or magnetron) or evaporation (electron beam or thermally) from a solution or by adsorption.
  • the color change is also visible in the areas in which the layer reflecting electromagnetic waves is in the form of a grid. In transmitted light, however, a contrast can be seen in this area and the patterns, grids, letters, characters, symbols and the like become visible.
  • This provides a security element that can be verified easily, quickly and reliably under any lighting conditions, even by untrained people. At the same time, due to the complexity of the layer structure, the security element can hardly be forged.
  • a diffractive layer can also be present on the carrier substrate, which can preferably be embossed in a radiation-curable lacquer.
  • the radiation-curable lacquer can, for example, be a radiation-curable lacquer system based on a polyester, an epoxy or polyurethane system which contains 2 or more different photoinitiators familiar to the person skilled in the art, which can initiate curing of the lacquer system to different extents at different wavelengths.
  • one photoinitiator can be activated at a wavelength of 200 to 400 nm, and the second photoinitiator can then be activated at a wavelength of 370 to 600 nm.
  • the range in which the second photoinitiator is excited should be in the transmission wavelength range of the carrier substrate used.
  • E-beam radiation can also be used for the main cure (activation of the second photoinitiator).
  • a water-dilutable lacquer can also be used as the radiation-curable lacquer. Polyester-based paint systems are preferred.
  • the surface structure is molded, for example, at a controlled temperature using a matrix or using an embossing mold in the radiation-curable lacquer layer, which has been pre-cured to the gel point by activation of the first photoinitiator and is at this stage at the time of molding. If a water-dilutable, radiation-curable lacquer is used, pre-drying can optionally be carried out beforehand, for example using IR radiators.
  • the security element according to the invention can therefore be used as a security feature in data carriers, in particular documents of value such as ID cards, cards, banknotes or labels, seals and the like, but also in packaging materials for sensitive goods, if appropriate after appropriate packaging (e.g. into threads, tapes, strips, patches or other formats). , such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, data carriers, electronic components and the like are used.
  • the security element according to the invention can be at least partially embedded in the document of value or the packaging or applied thereto.
  • the security element can also bridge a gap in the substrate (document of value or packaging) or be applied in register with a transparent area present in the substrate.
