Abstract

The present invention relates to the sealing of plastic inscriptions that have been, preferably indirectly, produced by means of a laser on the plastic surface.

Description

The sealing of plastic inscriptions
Technical field
The present invention relates to utilizing laser instrument on frosting the preferably sealing of the plastic inscriptions that produces indirectly.
Background technology
Utilize the laser beam of various wavelength, for good and all mark and engrave material and product.
Term " engraves the process that tags that " is intended to represent utilize any kind of laser hereinafter, promptly engraves mark, coding etc.
The " color laser engraves " and is used to represent to use all colours and achromatic pigment or dyestuff (all colors comprise black, white and all tones of gray) engraving plastics.
Mark and/or engrave by the effect of laser energy is undertaken
Material from (directly engrave) on one's body or
2. engraving on the medium, this medium is transferred on the material that will engrave from the outside and (engraves indirectly).
Therefore, in the method for engraving 1) in, metal, for example, irradiation reflects various temper colors to laser, and timber becomes dead color (carbonization) in irradiation area, and plastics, and for example, PVC has shallow or dark-coloured variable color (foaming, carbonization), and this depends on coloring plastic.
In plastics, these effects often are enhanced by adding laser-sensitive pigment or cause.Shortcoming generally is, only can realize that " color " is white and black or various grey and bleaching tone, and laser-sensitive pigment must be added into whole plastic material in masterbatch.
In the method for engraving 2) in, to engrave medium be to contact with the material that will engrave with this if hit with the laser beam of wavelength (for example IR laser) if having suitable energy, engraves medium so and be transferred on the material and be fixed on it.Material can use suitable colour and achromatic pigment or dye mixture, suspension, and paste or laser film or band engrave indirectly.Like this, the colour of high-contrast and black/white engrave becomes possibility.The amount that engraves actual required laser-sensitive pigment this significantly less than, for example, the situation (engraving method 1) that masterbatch adds, or in some occasion, do not need.
The medium that engraves that comprises frit or frit precursor and laser energy absorption agent is well known to a person skilled in the art, adds inorganic and organic pigment according to required color in described medium, metal oxide, organic metal material or metal dust.Such technology for example is described in WO 99/16625, and US 6,238,847, and US 6,313, and 436 and WO 99/25562.
Pigment and/or dye mixture are being applied directly to and will are for example passing through to spray, brush, disseminate, electrostatic charging etc. and on the medium that engraves, or be administered to support base material, as band, on film or the analog after, use essential laser energy (1-30W power output, cw pattern) or laser energy density (100W/cm 2-3GW/cm 2, pulse mode) shine and engrave.Like this, can engrave glass, pottery, metal, stone, plastics and composite.This method that engraves for example is disclosed in WO 03/035411, WO 03/080334 and WO 03/080335.
EP 1279517 A1 and DE 19942316 A1 have described the laser-sensitive mixture of the color laser mark that is particularly useful for plastics and the glass pigment that engraves and plastics granula.
The major defect that the indirect laser of the plastics that produce according to these technologies engraves is to engrave local pigment or dye strength very high in the zone, and this often causes unintelligible the engraving of bluring, and it is frosting afterwards (effloresce) or bleeding also.Under the situation of using organic pigment or dyestuff, situation is especially true.
Although 〉=0.5% (at organic pigment) and 〉=the maximum pigment concentration of 2% (at inorganic pigment) is used for the conventional painted of plastics, for example, according to WO 99/16625 in addition the pigment concentration in the plastic areas that engraves of laser far above 20%.
Decide according to plastics that engrave and later serviceability temperature, this painted excessively pigment or dye migration of causing is to frosting, so-called frosting.
If contact with other material and excessive pigment or dyestuff are transferred in this process in these materials if engrave, then use the term bleeding.
This crosses the painted feasible cleaning and the drying steps that need carry out in addition subsequently, and this is undesirable or unacceptable technically, especially for the online production technology that engraves with production as final processing step.
In addition, engrave in use, for example because ambient influnence etc. and bleeding or frosting or fade.
For some occasion, as food, drug packages, toy, the engraving of medical product etc., so bleeding or engraving at all of frosting can not be used.
Summary of the invention
Therefore purpose of the present invention is to realize having the high rim definition and the laser non-blooming, not bleeding of the plastics of the high patience of ambient influnence is engraved, and wherein laser engraves on frosting, preferably produces indirectly.
Astoundingly, have been found that using laser instrument to carry out the frosting of coloured plastics that engrave or bleeding engraves the zone by sealing in engraving operating process and be inhibited.Sealing use preferred glass transition temperature 〉=90 ℃, especially the hyaline layer of 100 to 120 ℃ polymer carries out.This polymeric layer can be used as individual course and uses or surround and therefore seal colouring agent.
The present invention relates to a kind of with plastics the permanent and coloured method that engraves in wearability ground, it is characterized in that colouring agent and/or absorbent (laser-sensitive pigment) bleeding or the frosting in the plastic inscriptions zone engraves the zone and prevent by engraving in technology self process or sealing this laser with transparent polymer immediately after this.
Compared with prior art, the salient point of the method according to this invention is following characteristics:
-pigment or dyestuff defile and/or later bleeding/frosting is prevented
-engrave in reality that undesirable cleaning is unnecessary after the technology
-the color fastness that engraves in the use afterwards is guaranteed.
The polymeric layer that is used to seal can be administered to and engrave, and engraves with laser in this first step in one-step method and carries out, or carry out in two-step method.Coating systems shown in Fig. 1-12 has been proved suitable especially.
Use the plastic inscriptions of laser instrument preferably to be undertaken, for example be described in WO99/16625 or unpub DE 10352857 by engraving indirectly.Plastics utilize laser energy to be engraved by coloured by engraving medium and introducing in the plastic basis material.Engraving medium peels off and joins to enduringly subsequently equally by on the frosting warm and therefore local softening from support membrane.
