Definitions

  • the invention relates to a security element for value documents, such as banknotes, securities and the like, which consists of a plastic film laminate and has an integrated authenticity check.
  • Security elements for value documents, banknotes or securities are known. These security elements have a wide variety of security features and can be applied to the value documents or completely or partially embedded in the substrate of the value documents.
  • Applied security elements generally have less protection against counterfeiting because they are easily accessible on the surface of the value document and tampering is easier to perform.
  • the object of the invention was to provide a security element which has absolute protection against counterfeiting and is visually recognizable on the surface of a value document.
  • the invention therefore provides a security element according to claim 1.

  • Base and cover layers are laminated against each other to form a laminate in such a way that they are connected to one another in strip form at least at their longitudinal edges. Between these laminated longitudinal edges, an open channel is created, which opens up a multitude of possibilities for integrating security elements.
  • At least one of the mutually laminated films or one of the substrates already has one or more security features.
  • security features in the form of characters, structures, lines, symbols, texts, forms and the like come into question as security features.

  • a partial metal layer can also be applied, whereby the partial application can take place by means of an etching process (application of a full-area metal layer and subsequent partial removal by etching) or by means of a demetallization process.
  • a solvent-soluble ink (optionally in the form of an inverse coding) is applied, then, optionally after activation of the carrier substrate by a plasma or corona treatment, the metallic layer is applied, whereupon the soluble ink layer Treatment with a suitable solvent, including the existing metallization in these areas is replaced.
  • Paramagnetic, diamagnetic and also ferromagnetic materials such as iron, nickel and cobalt or their compounds or salts (eg oxides or sulfides) or alloys of rare earth metals such as cobalt / samarium alloys may be used to impart a magnetic property.

  • both the metallic conductive layer and the metallic or metallic appearing coating can be used. Furthermore, it is also possible to use a high refractive index (HRI) layer, ie a layer having a higher refractive index than that of the lacquer forming the optically active layer, as a reflection layer.
  • HRI high refractive index

If the optically active layer is arranged on the cover foil, the reflection layer can be arranged for example on the sliding element, or the sliding element consist of a metal foil.
  • features that exhibit different color effects may also be applied.
  • These features then consist of at least one electromagnetic wave reflecting layer, a spacer layer and a layer formed by metallic clusters or a metallic thin film, wherein the layers can be arranged on the different components of the security element (base, cover, and / or sliding element) and only show the desired color shift effect after assembling all components.
