Abstract

A heat-sensitive recording sheet having a substrate with a heat-sensitive recording layer which contains color formers and color acceptors which react with one another under the action of heat. In order to permit the detection of counterfeited documents without the additional use of aids such as UV lamps or chemicals, present in the heat-sensitive recording layer, as a security element, are pressure-sensitive microcapsules which contain one or more color formers in a solvent. The color formers react with the color acceptors, forming a color, after destruction of the microcapsules.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen wärmeempfindlichen Aufzeichnungsbogen, der ein Substrat, eine auf einer Seite des Substrates aufgebrachte wärmeempfindliche Aufzeichnungsschicht, die zur Erzeugung eines Schriftbildes unter der Einwirkung von Hitze miteinander reagierende Farbbildner und Farbakzeptoren enthält, und ein Sicherheitselement aufweist.The invention relates to a heat-sensitive recording sheet, the one Substrate, a heat sensitive applied to one side of the substrate Recording layer used to create a typeface under the influence contains heat-reactive color formers and color acceptors, and has a security element.

Wärmeempfindliche Aufzeichnungsbogen sind seit längerer Zeit bekannt. Überwiegend werden diese Materialien zur Aufzeichnung von Fernkopien verwendet, die über öffentliche Fernsprechnetze - sogenanntes Telefaxverfahren versandt werden. Ein an Bedeutung zunehmendes Einsatzgebiet für wärmeempfindliche Aufzeichnungsmaterialien lag in letzter Zeit in der Verwendung als Kassenbons, Parkzettel von Parkautomaten, Eintritts - und Fahrkarten sowie Belegen bei Glücksspielen aller Art.Heat-sensitive recording sheets have been known for a long time. Most of these materials are used to record remote copies, over public telephone networks - so-called fax procedure to be dispatched. An increasingly important area of application for heat-sensitive Recording materials have been in use lately as receipts, parking tickets from parking machines, entrance tickets and tickets as well Evidence of all kinds of games of chance.

Zur Vermeidung bzw. Erkennung von Fälschungen wurden in der Vergangenheit bereits verschiedene Lösungen vorgeschlagen. Insbesondere wurde der Einsatz von unter ultravioletter Bestrahlung fluoreszierenden Fasern vorgeschlagen, die dem Papierfaserstoff vor der Blattbidung in geringer Menge zugemischt werden. Entsprechende Vorschläge finden sich für nicht dem Gebiet der wärmeempfindlichen Aufzeichnungsmaterialien zuzurechnende Papiere in der AT E 37053 B und gemäß der DE 19501289 A 1 für ein wärmeempfindliches Aufzeichnungspapier.Various solutions have already been proposed in the past to avoid or detect counterfeits. In particular, the use of fluorescent fibers under ultraviolet radiation has been proposed, which are admixed in a small amount with the paper pulp prior to sheet forming. Corresponding proposals can be found for papers not to be classified in the field of heat-sensitive recording materials in AT E 37053 B and according to DE 19501289 A1 for a heat-sensitive recording paper .

Mikrokapseln wurden auch bereits zur Verwendung bei der Herstellung von wärmeempfindlichen Aufzeichnungsbogen vorgeschlagen. Die bekannten Vorschläge betreffen vorwiegend die Verbesserung der Lagerbeständigkeit und die Entwicklung von gleichzeitig druck- und wärmeempfindlichen Aufzeichnungsmaterialien, die zudem noch eine wärmeempfindliche Bildübertragung ermöglichen.Microcapsules have also been used in the manufacture of heat-sensitive recording sheet proposed. The known suggestions mainly concern the improvement of shelf life and the Development of pressure and heat sensitive recording materials, which also enable heat-sensitive image transmission.

Aus der DE-35 04 730 C 2 ist ein wärmeempfindliches Bildübertragungs-Aufzeichnungsblatt bekannt, das auf der einen Seite seines Trägers eine wärmeempfindliche Aufzeichnungsschicht und auf der anderen Seite eine wärme- und druckempfindliche Bildübertragungsschicht aufweist. In der wärme- und druckempfindlichen Bildübertragungsschicht sind Mikrokapseln, die einen farblosen Farbbildner in einem nichtflüchtigen Lösungsmittel sowie Mikrokapseln, die einen Farbakzeptor in einem nichtflüchtigen Lösungsmittel enthalten, angeordnet. Ebenfalls in der Bildübertragungsschicht liegt ein fester, farbloser, Elektronen abgebender Farbbildner und ein fester, farbloser, Elektronen annehmender Farbentwickler sowie ein Wachs vor. Legt man das wärmeempfindliche Bildübertragungs-Aufzeichnungsblatt auf ein einfaches Blatt Papier und läßt auf die wärmeempfindliche Aufzeichnungsschicht einen Thermokopf einwirken, entsteht auf der wärmeempfindlichen Aufzeichnungsschicht eine Abbildung und auf dem einfachen Papier entsteht durch Wärmeübertragung das Abbild der Aufzeichnung. Durch Druck auf das wärmeempfindliche Bildübertragungs-Aufzeichnungsblatt läßt sich zusätzlich ein Abbild auf dem einfachen Papierblatt erzeugen.From DE-35 04 730 C 2 a heat-sensitive image transfer recording sheet is known which has a heat-sensitive recording layer on one side of its support and a heat and pressure-sensitive image transfer layer on the other side. Microcapsules containing a colorless color former in a non-volatile solvent and microcapsules containing a color acceptor in a non-volatile solvent are arranged in the heat and pressure-sensitive image transfer layer. Also in the image transfer layer is a solid, colorless, electron-donating color former and a solid, colorless, electron-accepting color developer and a wax. If the heat-sensitive image transfer recording sheet is placed on a simple sheet of paper and a thermal head is applied to the heat-sensitive recording layer, an image is formed on the heat-sensitive recording layer and the image of the recording is formed on the plain paper by heat transfer. By printing on the heat-sensitive image transfer recording sheet, an image can also be formed on the simple paper sheet.

Der Gedanke, bei einem wärmeempfindlichen und wärmeübertragbaren Aufzeichnungsblatt zusätzlich eine gewisse Druckempfindlichkeit einzustellen, wird in der DE-36 01 525 A 1 in der Weise aufgegriffen, daß nur ausgewählte Stellen in der wärmeübertragbaren Schicht druckempfindlich ausgebildet sind, indem diese Stellen Farbbildner und Farbentwickler enthalten, wobei wenigstens eine dieser Komponenten in Mikrokapseln enthalten ist. The idea of additionally setting a certain pressure sensitivity in a heat-sensitive and heat-transferable recording sheet is taken up in DE-36 01 525 A 1 in such a way that only selected locations in the heat-transferable layer are designed to be pressure-sensitive in that these locations contain color formers and color developers. wherein at least one of these components is contained in microcapsules.

Während bei den beiden vorstehend genannten Vorschlägen die Aufgabe in der Entwicklung eines wärmeempfindlichen, mit einer Bildübertragungsschicht versehenen und gleichzeitig druckempfindlichen Papiers besteht, sieht die DE-37 04 627 A 1 bei einem wärmeempfindlichen Aufzeichnungsmaterial, bei dem die Farbreaktion zwischen einer Diazoverbindung und einer zugehörigen Kupplungskomponente erfolgt, vor, daß mindestens eine der beiden Reaktionskomponenten in einer Mikrokapsel enthalten ist, um auf diese Weise die Lagerbeständigkeit des unbeschriebenen Materials und die Sensibilität zu verbessern.While in the two above-mentioned proposals the task is to develop a heat-sensitive paper provided with an image transfer layer and at the same time pressure-sensitive, DE-37 04 627 A1 sees a heat-sensitive recording material in which the color reaction between a diazo compound and an associated coupling component takes place before that at least one of the two reaction components is contained in a microcapsule in order to improve the shelf life of the blank material and the sensitivity.

Die DE-39 38 978 A 1 offenbart ein Zweifarben - Aufzeichnungsmaterial, bei dem nacheinander auf einen Träger eine an sich bekannte wärmeempfindliche Farbbildungsschicht und eine lichtempfindliche, wärmeempfindliche Farbbildungsschicht aufgebracht sind, die Mikrokapseln enthält, in denen ein Leukofarbstoff und ein Fotooxidationsmittel enthalten sind und ein Reduktionsmittel in der lichtempfindlichen, wärmeempfindlichen Farbbildungsschicht vorliegt. Die Bilderzeugung der lichtempfindlichen, wärmeempfindlichen Aufzeichnungsschicht erfolgt durch Erhitzen mit einem Heizblock und anschließende Bestrahlung mit einer Ultrahochdruck-Quecksilberlampe. DE-39 38 978 A 1 discloses a two-color recording material in which a heat-sensitive color-forming layer known per se and a light-sensitive, heat-sensitive color-forming layer which contains microcapsules in which a leuco dye and a photo-oxidizing agent are contained and a are applied successively to a support Reducing agent is present in the light-sensitive, heat-sensitive color formation layer. The photosensitive, heat-sensitive recording layer is formed by heating with a heating block and subsequent irradiation with an ultra-high pressure mercury lamp.

Die JP 08 300 810 A offenbart ein wärmeempfindliches Aufzeichnungsmaterial, das außer der auf seiner Frontseite angebrachten wärmeempfindlichen Beschichtung eine auf der Vorderseite seines Trägers angebrachte Schicht aus Farbbildnern und Akzeptoren vorsieht, welche Fälschungsversuche auf der Frontseite des wärmeempfindlichen Aufzeichnungsmaterials sichtbar machen sollen. Mindestens einer der Reaktionspartner ist eingekapselt. Die aus Farbbildnern und Akzeptoren bestehende Schicht ist mit einer nicht näher offenbarten Polyolefinharzschicht abgedeckt, auf der ein transparentes oder lichtdurchlässiges Papier angeordnet ist. Nachteilig bei diesem Vorschlag ist neben dem komplizierten Aufbau des Aufzeichnungsmaterials, daß sich das durch die versuchte Fälschung entstehende Bild nicht deutlich genug von dem auf der Frontseite durch Wärme erzeugten Bild abhebt. JP 08 300 810 A discloses a heat-sensitive recording material which, in addition to the heat-sensitive coating applied to its front, provides a layer of color formers and acceptors applied to the front of its support, which attempts to make counterfeiting visible on the front of the heat-sensitive recording material. At least one of the reactants is encapsulated. The layer consisting of color formers and acceptors is covered with a polyolefin resin layer, not disclosed in any more detail, on which a transparent or translucent paper is arranged. A disadvantage of this proposal, in addition to the complicated structure of the recording material, is that the image created by the attempted forgery does not stand out clearly enough from the image produced by heat on the front side.

Gegenstand der US-A-5,401,060 ist ein mittels Laserdrucker beschreibbares Dokumentenpapier. Zum Zweck seines Authentizitätsnachweises ist auf dem Dokument ein lokal begrenzter Auftrag einer Streichfarben- oder Druckfarbenkomposition vorgesehen, die einen Farbentwickler und einen in Mikrokapseln enthaltenen Farbstoffvortäufer aufweist. Unter dem Einfluß von Druck brechen die Mikrokapseln auf und setzen so den in ihnen enthaltenen Farbstoffvorläufer frei, der unter dem Einfluß gleichzeitig auf das Dokument einwirkender Hitze mit dem Farbentwickler unter Ausbildung einer Farbe reagiert. Als Variante dieses bekannten Dokumentenpapiers sieht die US-A-5,395,138 eine Streichfarben- oder Druckfarbenkomposition vor, bei der der in Mikrokapseln enthaltene Farbstoffvorläufer unter die Kapseln zerstörendem Druck ohne den zusätzlichen Einfluß von Wärme mit dem Farbentwickler reagiert. Da das mit der Streichfarben- oder Druckfarbenkomposition beaufschlagte Authentizitätsnachweisfeld druckempfindlich ist, müssen bei diesem bekannten Dokumentenpapier das Authentizitätsnachweisfeld und der normal zu beschriftende Nutzungsbereich räumlich getrennt sein.The subject of US-A-5,401,060 is a document paper which can be written on by means of a laser printer. For the purpose of proving its authenticity, a locally limited application of a coating or printing ink composition is provided on the document, which has a color developer and a dye precursor contained in microcapsules. The microcapsules break open under the influence of pressure and thus release the dye precursor contained therein, which under the influence of heat simultaneously acting on the document reacts with the color developer to form a color. As a variant of this known document paper, US-A-5,395,138 provides a coating color or printing ink composition in which the dye precursor contained in microcapsules reacts with the color developer under the capsule-destroying pressure without the additional influence of heat. Since the authenticity proof field charged with the coating color or printing ink composition is sensitive to pressure, the authenticity proof field and the normal use area to be labeled must be spatially separated in this known document paper.

Einen Aufzeichnungsbogen mit mehreren Beschichtungen, die räumlich begrenzt auf sich unterscheidenden Feldern aufgetragen und teilweise druckempfindlich und teilweise wärmeempfindlich ausgebildet sind, schlägt die EP-A-0 623 909 vor. Der bekannte Aufzeichnungsbogen soll verschiedenfarbige Schriftbilder durch die Verwendung von Kombinationen verschiedener Farbstoffvorläufer und Farbakzeptoren in den unterschiedlichen Beschichtungsfeldem ermöglichen. Die vielfarbigen Schriftbilder auf dem bekannten Aufzeichnungsbogen sollen übersichtliche und eine nutzungsorientiertere Verwendung von Formblättern oder Labels ermöglichen, ohne daß Farbdrucker benutzt werden müssen. Die Verwendung dieses bekannten Aufzeichnungsbogens als wärmeempfindlicher Aufzeichnungsbogen mit Sicherheitselement wird nicht offenbart. EP-A-0 623 909 proposes a recording sheet with a plurality of coatings which are applied to different fields in a spatially limited manner and which are partially pressure-sensitive and partially heat-sensitive. The known recording sheet is intended to enable typefaces of different colors by using combinations of different dye precursors and color acceptors in the different coating fields. The multi-colored typefaces on the known recording sheet are intended to enable clear and more user-oriented use of forms or labels without the need for color printers. The use of this known recording sheet as a heat-sensitive recording sheet with a security element is not disclosed.

Insbesondere sind holzfreie Streichrohpapiere oder solche mit einem geringen Anteil an Holzstoff geeignet. Vor Auftrag der wärmeempfindlichen Aufzeichnungsschicht können die Substrate noch mit einem Vorstrich mit einer flächenbezogenen Masse von 3 bis 12 g/m2 versehen werden. Die wärmeempfindliche Aufzeichnungsschicht wird geeigneterweise mit einer flächenbezogenen Masse im Bereich von 3 bis 6 g/m2 aufgetragen. Die flächenbezogene Masse des fertiggestellten wärmeempfindlichen Aufzeichnungsbogens beträgt 48 bis 268 g/m2, vorzugsweise 73 bis 168 g/m2.Coating base papers with a mass per unit area of 45 to 250 g / m 2, preferably 70 to 150 g / m 2, are suitable as substrates. Wood-free coating base papers or those with a low proportion of wood pulp are particularly suitable. Before the heat-sensitive recording layer is applied, the substrates can also be provided with a primer with a mass per unit area of 3 to 12 g / m 2 . The heat-sensitive recording layer is suitably applied with a mass per unit area in the range from 3 to 6 g / m 2 .

Das Gewichtsverhältnis von temperaturempfindlichen Komponenten und druckempfindlichen Komponenten in der getrockneten Aufzeichnungsschicht beträgt 3,5 : 1, was bedeutet, daß in der wärmeempfindlichen Aufzeichnungsschicht 22 Gew.-Teile Mikrokapseln enthalten sind. Durch Druckeinwirkung eines Metallstempels entsteht auf der Vorderseite ein Stempelabdruck, der die Echtheit des eingesetzen Papiers dokumentiert.A pigmented primer of 4 g / m 2 is applied to a wood-free paper with a mass per unit area of 76 g / m 2 and dried. The dried precoat is coated with a coating color to form a heat-sensitive recording layer which, in addition to the color formers and color acceptors required by means of heat to form an image, also contains microcapsules with a color former composition dissolved in solvent. The application weight is otro 5 g / m 2 . The weight ratio of temperature sensitive components and pressure sensitive components in the dried recording layer is 3.5: 1, which means that 22 parts by weight of microcapsules are contained in the heat sensitive recording layer. The effect of a metal stamp creates a stamp on the front that documents the authenticity of the paper used.
