Definitions
- the invention relates to a multi-layer transparent security film, a portion of the security film and a use of the section.
- Packaging especially packaged goods, containers and doors, flaps and the like should often - at least temporarily - be protected against unauthorized opening.
- a seal which consists of a section of adhesive film provided on one side with an adhesive.
- the seal may be attached with its sticky side across an opening of the article or else passed around a package or container to be sealed and adhered to itself.
- Such a seal usually changes visually when you open it; after that, for example, it is torn or plastically deformed. The changes are irreversible, so that a manipulation attempt is clearly detectable.
- Such security systems for detecting unauthorized opening are known from the prior art.
- EP 1 403 190 A2 describes a tamper-evident seal in the form of a section of an adhesive tape provided at least partially on one side, which is guided around an object to be sealed and adhered to itself with the existing adhesive, the adhesive tape having a splittable carrier, see above that when breaking the tamper-evident seal by pulling on both ends of the section, the carrier irreversibly splits.
- EP 0 770 251 B1 describes a transparent multilayer film which is particularly suitable for protecting data on documents.
- the multilayer film comprises a cover layer, a damagable layer which is irreversibly damaged upon separation of the multilayer film, an adhesion-regulating material partially patterned between the layers, and an adhesive layer for bonding with a substrate.
- the adhesion forces between the various layers and the cohesive force of the damagable layer are adjusted to destroy or irreversibly deform the damagable layer in the regions complementary to the pattern of adhesion-regulating material.
- the patent uses the term "destroyed" in connection with the damageable layer so that the layer is irreversibly damaged, for example, by a brittle fracture or by tearing across the layer, in any case such that a continuous layer does not persist
- a multilayer transparent security film having the features of claim 1, a portion of such a security film and a use of such a portion for closure of a package, a container, a door, flap or the like.
- the multilayer transparent security film according to claim 1 is adhered to a substrate, which may be the surface of a package, a container, a door or a flap, and comprises the following layers: an outer carrier layer, a release lacquer layer, a partially applied release lacquer layer and an at least partially applied adhesive layer for bonding to the substrate.
- a substrate which may be the surface of a package, a container, a door or a flap
- the carrier layer lies on the outside, that is, on the side facing away from the substrate.
- the separating lacquer layer is usually applied over the entire surface.
- the partially applied release lacquer layer is advantageously applied in the manner of a pattern or a lettering.
- the adhesion forces between the individual layers and the cohesive force of the release lacquer layer are now set as follows: The adhesion between the carrier layer on the one hand and the release lacquer layer and optionally the release lacquer layer on the other hand, the adhesion between the adhesive layer on the one hand and the release lacquer layer and the substrate on the other hand are larger optionally, the cohesive force of the release varnish layer, the cohesive force of the release varnish layer is greater than the adhesion force between the release varnish layer and the release varnish layer, and the adhesion force between the release varnish layer and the release varnish layer may be greater than the adhesion force between the release varnish layer and the adhesive layer.
- the security film separates by a cohesive fracture, which runs essentially horizontally through the release lacquer layer.
- the security foil either separates along an adhesion break between the release lacquer layer and the release lacquer layer or, if appropriate, between the release lacquer layer and the adhesive layer.
- the security film of the invention it turns out that a high-contrast tamper evidence is obtained when the security film separates, although the security film does not comprise a pigmented or colored print layer. Without a pigmented or colored layer, the transmission of the security film according to the invention is markedly higher-as a rule more than 95%-than the transmission of security films with pigmented or colored layers, which is usually below 75%.
- the side of the carrier layer which is remote from the surface of the security film, roughened.
- the cohesive fracture runs substantially horizontally through the release lacquer layer
- the surface of the cohesive failure that runs on the side of the support layer shows points where small tips of the cohesive fracture run along the cohesive fracture Carrier layer protrude, the surface is thus a little rougher and the areas of such a cohesive fracture become even cloudier. Strictly speaking, this is a mixed fracture, because most of the two surfaces are exposed by a cohesive failure, but at the points where protrude small tips of the support layer, it is an adhesion break.
- Another advantage of a roughened side of the carrier layer, which faces away from the surface of the security film is that a release lacquer layer adheres better to the carrier layer.
- a surface can roughen by mechanically or chemically processed.
- a chemical treatment is, for example, an etching by an acid or a lye.
- a release lacquer layer with a release lacquer which is uncrosslinked and therefore has a low cohesive power.
- additional color features in addition to a high-contrast tamper evidence in the form of blunt and transparent areas.
- a partially applied opaque layer in the security film is suitable.
- the opaque layer may be a lettering disposed between the layers such that a first portion of the opaque layer remains on the backing of the security film and a second portion of the opaque layer remains on the adhesive layer of the security film as the security film separates.
- the separating lacquer layer is preferably either applied over the entire surface of the carrier layer, then release lacquer layer and adhesive layer can touch each other, or the release lacquer layer is applied over the entire surface of the adhesive layer, then carrier layer and release lacquer layer can touch each other. In both cases, the full-surface job simplifies the manufacturing process. If the release coating layer is applied over the entire surface of the carrier layer, it is particularly easy to partially apply an additional opaque layer and position, for example, that a pattern formed by the opaque layer is destroyed when opening a security film by parts of the pattern on the Part of the security film remaining on the substrate, and other parts of the pattern are on the part of the security film, which is separated from the substrate.
- the release coating layer is applied over the entire surface of the adhesive layer, so the safety film when opening separates according to experience particularly reliable and precise in the manner provided. In addition, remain after the separation of the security film no open adhesive surfaces. Thus, the attempt to seal the security film unnoticed again after a separation would be further complicated.
- the security film may comprise an at least partially applied UV protective layer.
- the UV protective layer is usually located between the adhesive layer and the remaining layers of the security film.
- the UV protective layer is applied before the adhesive is applied to the security film.
- the adhesive can be added in a hot melt or wet coating process, without the aqueous release coating by the action of heat when applying a hot melt adhesive or through the Dissolving with water from a water-based dispersion adhesive loses its good separation properties. If no additional UV protection layer is provided on the security film, it is advisable to conceal the adhesive.
- a security film according to the invention can be processed further, in which they are cut to size, for example as a tape, as a strip or label. Which form of section you choose depends on the application.
- a strip is advantageous for the sealing of a door or flap.
- a label that allows labeling or, if the portion of the security film is also intended to seal the package, a tape that is wrapped around the package and glued to itself.
- the adhesive layer is partially applied in such a way that one surface of the portion of the security film remains uncoated by adhesive.
- This surface is preferably sized so that the fingers of a hand through the
- the adhesive-free surface fulfills the function of a handle for easy gripping of the portion.

- 4 shows a schematic cross section of a closed security film with opaque layer and UV protective layer
- FIG. 5 shows a section of a schematic cross-section of a closed security film with a roughened carrier layer, which represents the boundary region between the carrier layer and release lacquer layer,
- FIG. 6 shows the detail from FIG. 5 after the security film has separated by a mixed fracture, which runs essentially as cohesive fracture horizontally through the release lacquer layer,
- Fig. 7 in the left half of the sheet three schematic plan views of a security film of FIG. 1 from top to bottom in each case closed, in just over half open and in resealed state, and in the right half of the sheet from top to bottom in each case the corresponding cross sections the security foil,
- Fig. 8 analogous to Fig. 7 in the left half of the sheet three schematic plan views of a security film of FIG. 2 from top to bottom in each case closed, in just over half open and in resealed state, and in the right half of the picture from above below each of the corresponding cross sections of the security film.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic cross-section of a closed security film with a carrier layer 1, a release lacquer layer 3 partially applied thereon, a release lacquer layer 2 applied over its entire surface and an adhesive layer 4 applied over its entire surface.
- the adhesive layer 4 provides the connection to a substrate 5 which may be, for example, the surface of a package, a container, a door or a flap.
- the security film of Fig. 1 is in the closed, that is in the intact and non-separated state.
- FIG. 2 shows a schematic cross section of a closed security film with an opaque layer.
- the security film differs from the security film in Fig. 1 in that the release coating layer 2 over the entire surface of the Carrier layer 1 and not as in Fig. 1 over the entire surface of the adhesive layer 4 borders.
- an opaque layer 7 is applied partially, which is located either between the release lacquer layer 2 and the release lacquer layer 3 or between the release lacquer layer 2 and the adhesive layer 4.
- FIG. 3 shows a schematic cross section of a closed security film with UV protection layer.
- the security film differs from the security film in FIG. 1 in that the entire surface is provided with a UV protective layer 6 between the release lacquer layer 2 and the adhesive layer 4. With the aid of the UV protective layer 6, it is easily possible to add the adhesive required for the adhesive layer 4 in a hotmelt or wet coating process.
- FIG. 4 shows a schematic cross section of a closed security film with opaque layer and UV protective layer.
- the security film differs from the security film in FIG. 2 in that, in addition, a UV protective layer 6 is provided which borders the adhesive layer 4 on the side of the adhesive layer 4 facing away from the substrate 5 over its entire surface.
- FIG. 5 shows a schematic section of a closed security film with roughened carrier layer 1, which represents the boundary region between carrier layer 1 and release lacquer layer 2.
- the carrier layer 1 is roughened on its side facing away from the surface of the security film and adjoins the release lacquer layer 2 with this roughened side.
- Fig. 6 shows the detail of Fig. 5, after the security film has separated by a mixed fracture, which runs essentially as a cohesive failure horizontally through the release lacquer layer 2.
- the surface of the mixed fracture which runs on the side of the roughened carrier layer 1, shows points at which some tips of the carrier layer 1 protrude from the surface of the release lacquer layer 2. Exactly at these points would be precise to speak of an adhesion break between the carrier layer 1 and release lacquer layer 2, but because these places together make up a small - measured on the entire surface of the composite fracture - small area or possibly not occur, the surface as well as her opposite surface referred to in this context as a cohesive failure.
- Fig. 7 shows in the left half of the sheet three schematic plan views of a security film according to FIG.
- the middle plan view shows in both the part of the security film left on the substrate 5 and on the part of the security film which is separated from the substrate 5 a checkerboard pattern of rough-surfaced areas 2a exposed by cohesive failure and transparent Fields 2b with a smooth surface, exposed by an adhesion break.
- the surface of the part of the security film remaining on the substrate 5 is the surface of a continuous release varnish layer 2 which is respectively smooth and smooth in checkerboard-type panels 2a and 2b.
- the surface of the part of the security foil which is separated from the substrate 5 is a checkerboard pattern of transparent panels 3b of a smooth-faced release lacquer layer 3 and of cloudy panels 2a of a rough-surfaced release lacquer layer 2.
- the lower plan view shows the resealed security foil with a checkerboard pattern of almost transparent fields 13, ie where the surfaces of an adhesion fracture, namely the surface of a release lacquer layer 2 and the surface of a release lacquer layer 3, meet again, and from cloudy fields 12, so there, where the surfaces of a cohesive fracture, namely the surfaces of two release lacquer layers 2, meet.
- Smooth, transparent fields are shown mottled in FIGS. 7 and 8, respectively, and rough, cloudy fields are each shown in white.
- FIG. 8 shows analogous to FIG. 7 in the left half of the sheet three schematic plan views of a security film according to FIG. 2 from top to bottom in each case closed, in just over half open and in resealed condition, and in the right half of the image from top to bottom in each case the corresponding cross sections of the security film.
- an opaque layer 7 is partially applied, in the form of four digits one, two, three and four. The position of the opaque layer 7 within the layer sequence of the security film can be seen in each of the three cross sections of the right half of the sheet.
- the middle section shows the opened one Security film partially separated by an adhesion break and partly by a cohesive failure.
- the opaque layer 7a is either in the part of the security film remaining on the substrate 5, between the release varnish view 2 and the adhesive layer 4, or the opaque layer 7b is in the part of the security film which is separated from the substrate 5 between the release varnish layer 2 and the release varnish layer 3.
- the backing layer may comprise a paper, a thermoplastic film or a laminate of at least one of the two components.
- thermoplastic material may comprise polyethylene, in particular HDPE (high density polyethylene), polyester, in particular PET (polyethylene terephthalate), PP (polypropylene) and PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and is preferably monoaxially or biaxially oriented.
- Monoaxially stretched PP is characterized by its very high tensile strength and low elongation in the longitudinal direction and is used for example as a carrier material for so-called "strapping tapes."
- the carrier layer is transparent, preferably with a transmission rate of more than 95% in that for the human eye
- the reciprocal of the transmission rate is logarithmically related to the optical density of a carrier layer and can be determined by Lambert-Beer's law if the optical density of a carrier layer is known.
- the carrier layer often a laminate based on PET, is generally between 20 and 100 ⁇ m, preferably between 30 and 50 ⁇ m thick.
- the surface of a backing layer may be roughened by being chemically treated, for example, etched by a strong acid or alkali.
- a strong acid or alkali for example, an oxidizing acid such as chromosulfuric acid or potassium permanganate in combination with sulfuric acid in question.
- PET films are often etched with trichloroacetic acid or with potassium hydroxide solution.
- the Italian companies Coveme SPA and Polifibra SPA treat film surfaces with trichloroacetic acid accordingly. Coveme distributes one Both sides treated film under the trade name Kemafoil® HPH 100.
- the trichloroacetic acid is used very concentrated and acts on the film surface for a long time. In a continuous etching process, therefore, the web speed of the film surface to be etched is low and is about 30 to 50 meters per minute, and the drying temperature is only slightly higher than 100 ° C.
- the ester groups are hydrolyzed on the surface, resulting in polar hydroxyl, carboxyl and carboxylate groups.
- the film surface thus provides a better bonding substrate for most release coatings and release coatings, which are also polar.
- the etching process destroys the crystallinity in the near-surface region of the film. The result is a clear roughening of the surface.
- the term surface roughness refers to the height deviations of the actually measured interface from an ideally smooth averaged boundary plane.
- the measured values can be evaluated, for example, with the average roughness, an average value of the height deviations, or the square roughness, an averaged scattering of the height deviations.
- the average surface roughness of the carrier film is approximately 2 ⁇ m and is in the range between 1.5 and 2.5 ⁇ m, preferably in the range between 1.8 and 2.2 ⁇ m.
- a roughened and thus enlarged film surface usually serves to strengthen the composite to a pressure-sensitive adhesive or laminating adhesive.
- Another significant effect of the roughened film surface in the context of the present invention is the increased light scattering at a boundary to air or other materials with densities greatly different from the film density. In this way, strong contrasts arise between these boundary regions and those boundary regions in which the roughened film surface is adjacent to materials which have a density similar to the film density and in which the light scattering is very low.
- the roughened film surface only adjoins materials which have a density similar to the film density, so that no contrasts occur.
- both types of boundary regions occur, so that an opened section of a security film according to the invention can be clearly distinguished from an unopened section. Release coating layer
- the release lacquer comprises transparent, water-based, solvent-based and UV-curing, that is to say ultraviolet curing, clearcoats which can be applied to the support material by different printing methods, such as flexo, offset, screen, tampon and inkjet printing.
- silicone-containing substances can be added to the release lacquer, which reduce its surface energy.
- the application weight of the release lacquer is preferably 1 to 7 g / m 2 . Release varnish layer
- a release coating materials are particularly low cohesion, especially printable or squeegee, water-based or solvent-containing substances.
- a low cohesion can be achieved by a high content of fillers, for example barium sulfate, kaolin, talc or chalks, which are advantageously added as colloidal filler dispersions having particle sizes of less than 1 ⁇ m, in order to preserve the highest possible transparency of the release coating.
- fillers for example barium sulfate, kaolin, talc or chalks, which are advantageously added as colloidal filler dispersions having particle sizes of less than 1 ⁇ m, in order to preserve the highest possible transparency of the release coating.
- examples of such a release varnish are resin dispersions, acrylate dispersions or polymer dispersions in general and solvent-containing polymer solutions whose polymeric binder components are preferably low molecular weight and uncrosslinked and thus have a very low cohesion. Particularly good results can be achieved with an aqueous dispersion of wax
- UV protective layer water-based or solvent-containing, UV-curing lacquers are used.
- the paints can be applied for example by a printing process or by a doctor blade method.
- adhesives come essentially all known adhesives with high bond strength on a substrate, such as a primer to be packaged, in Question, such as synthetic rubber, natural rubber and Acrylatklebmassen. These may be adhesive mass solutions, dispersions or hotmelts.
- the application rate of the adhesive to the printed substrate is preferably 15 to 60 g / m 2 , more preferably 20 to 30 g / m 2 .
- the adhesive layer is matched to the release coating layer in that the adhesion force between the release lacquer layer and the adhesive layer is less than the adhesion force between the release lacquer layer and the release lacquer layer.
- Particularly suitable for this purpose are polar adhesives having a moderate bond strength to steel between 1.5-4 N / cm, which are laminated onto the printed substrate.
- UV-curing printing inks or printing inks are suitable. Preference is given to using UV-curable printing inks, as produced by Flint, Zeller + Gmelin or Siegwerk.
