Definitions
- Security element having a masking structure containing a mixture of nanometric charges
- the present invention relates to security elements, especially those for secure documents.
- “Secure document” means a means of payment, such as a bank note, a check or a restaurant ticket, an identity document, such as an identity card, a visa, a passport or a passport. driver's license, a lottery ticket, a ticket, a tax stamp or stamp, or a ticket for cultural or sporting events.
- a security thread into a paperboard substrate.
- This yarn is introduced totally in the paper or alternatively at least partly on the surface of the paper, especially in window.
- This thread usually includes a text that appears in transmitted light, sometimes called CLEARTEXT *. Except for any windows, it is preferable that the wire is not visible in reflection, so as not to detract from the aesthetics of the document and not to hinder the visibility of the impressions carried by the substrate. This also provides additional security, the wire and its text being little or not visible in reflected light and visible in transmitted light.
- a first solution is to use a highly reflective wire, by depositing a relatively large thickness of metal, to obtain a high optical density.
- metal layers for example of aluminum, of low optical density.
- a second solution is to apply a masking layer on the wire.
- a masking layer consisting of titanium dioxide, zinc oxide or other particles makes it possible to make the back of the white wire matte, decreasing the metallic appearance of the wire.
- These layers are generally thin and do not allow to hide optimally a security thread.
- increasing the thickness of such layers affects the visibility of CLEARTEXT ® in transmitted light.
- US 2010/0213698 A1 discloses a solution of this type.
- the masking layer has light scattering properties similar to those of paper. If the masking layer evenly covers one side of the wire, its opacity reduces the visibility of the text in transmitted light. It is possible to deposit the masking layer only on the metal, but this complicates the manufacturing process. In addition, the masking layer can screen UV and thus oppose the use of luminescent layers. within the wire.
- a third solution for reducing the visibility of the yarn consists in producing a masking layer in the form of a semi-reflecting, continuous or raster metal layer.
- the disadvantage of this solution is to reduce the visibility of the text.
- FR 2 871 174 discloses a document comprising an information vector and a band masking element.
- US 2002/0056758 discloses an opaque protective layer affixed to both sides of a magnetic layer.
- This opaque layer may contain iridescent pigments.
- An alternative is to print the yarn with an opaque ink, for example containing titanium dioxide, which does not pass UV radiation, or optically variable pigments.
- US 2008/0030020 discloses a security document comprising a semi-reflective coating comprising iridescent pigments, such as mica-based particles, which are micrometric, non-nanometric particles.
- iridescent pigments such as mica-based particles, which are micrometric, non-nanometric particles.
- such pigments have a relatively high opacity.
- US 2010/0213698 A1 discloses a security element.
- US 2005/0151368 A1 discloses a layer of silica associated with other layers so as to constitute an interference structure.
- US 5,876,068 discloses a reflective metal layer applied over the entire surface of the wire.
- a metal layer covered with a thin layer of white masking or comprising a matting agent makes it possible to operate certain detectors on a paper machine, in particular detectors for reversing the security threads.
- the thin masking layer makes the wire more visible in reflection.
- increasing the thickness of the masking layer reduces the visibility of CLEARTEXT ® in transmitted light.
- a security element preferably in the form of a security thread, for a secure document, comprising:
- a masking structure for reducing the visibility of a surface of the element when it is present within the document or on its surface, the masking structure comprising a mixture of at least two nanometric charges.
- the security element may be less visible in the zone or zones where its visibility would be detrimental to the appearance of the document, because of the presence of the masking structure, which for example extends to less a whole face of the element.
- nanometric charges By “at least two nanometric charges” is meant in particular nanometric charges of different natures.
- nuclear charge is meant a charge of one or more powdery compounds whose average size D50 is between 1 nm and 1000 nm.
- at least one of the charges consists of a single particulate material, preferably transparent to UV radiation.
- the two charges may each consist of a single particulate material, these materials being different.
- the security element may comprise at least one luminescent agent and at least one of the nanometric charges is at least partially, preferably totally, transparent to UV radiation, in particular UV radiation useful for luminescence.
- the nanometric charge at least partially transparent to UV is present in a mass quantity of between 20 and 80%, better still between 30 and 70% and even more preferably between 40 and 60%, relative to the mass of the masking. All weights and weights are expressed in sec unless otherwise stated.
- Nanometric fillers such as silica, titanium dioxide, calcium carbonate, barium sulfate, and zinc oxide can be used.
- the nanoscale size of said at least two charges makes it possible to increase the scattering of light within the masking structure.
- Such charges diffuse wavelengths corresponding to the visible light, which makes it possible to obtain a masking effect of the security element located beneath the masking structure.
- one of the, more preferably both, nanometric fillers has a dimension D50 of between 30 and 1000 nm, more preferably between 30 and 500 nm, more preferably between 50 and 300 nm.
- Said at least two nanometric charges preferably differ at least in their refractive index.
- said at least two nanometric charges differ in their refractive index by at least 0.5, and more preferably by at least 0.8.
- the Applicant estimates that the mixture of the said at least two nanometric charges of different refractive indices makes it possible to amplify the diffusion phenomenon because the nanometric charge of a lower refractive index refracts little the incident light which runs through then a larger optical path and further penetrates within the masking structure, while the nanoscale load of higher refractive index increases the number of diffusions within the masking structure. This provides a large penetration and a significant diffusion of light within the masking structure, thus masking said security element in reflection without the masking structure is opaque, which would adversely affect the visibility of the security element in transmitted light.
- the masking structure is preferably in the form of a single masking layer, comprising said mixture of at least two nanometric charges.
- At least one of the nanometric fillers comprises colloidal silica (silicon dioxide), in particular pyrogenic silica, and is better composed of fumed colloidal silica.
- colloidal silica sicon dioxide
- a nanometric charge comprising silica is advantageous because it has the advantage of not absorbing the UV radiation useful for luminescence, which makes it possible to produce the security element with one or more luminescent layers, in particular fluorescent under UV.
- One of the nanometric charges of the mixture, and preferably the colloidal silica may be present in a mass quantity of between 20 and 80%, better still between 30 and 70%, and still more preferably between 40 and 60% relative to the mass of the mixture.
- the colloidal silica preferably has a D50 dimension of between 30 and 1000 nm, more preferably between 30 and 500 nm, more preferably between 50 and 300 nm.
- the security element may comprise as titanium dioxide nanoscale in the masking structure.
- the amount of titanium dioxide is sufficiently small not to excessively absorb the UV radiation and to allow the use within the security element of at least one luminescent compound, especially fluorescent under UV (365 nm) for example applied by printing or mixed with the masking layer or with a varnish or an adhesive of the security element.
- Titanium dioxide is preferably of anatase nature, because it then has the advantage of having a lower UV absorption compared to titanium dioxide of rutile nature.
- the anatase titanium dioxide is in particular at least partially transparent to UV, and in particular transparent over at least one wavelength range of the UV range.
- the other of the nanometric charges of the mixture may be present in a mass quantity of between 1 and 40%, better still between 2 and 30%, and even more preferably between 3 and 15% relative to the mass. the masking structure.
- the titanium dioxide preferably has a D50 dimension of between 30 and 1000 nm, more preferably between 30 and 500 nm, more preferably between 50 and 300 nm.
- said at least two nanometric fillers are respectively colloidal silica, preferably fumed, and titanium dioxide, preferably anatase.
- the colloidal silica induces a greater scattering of the light in the short wavelengths (blue) and one thus obtains a predominantly red-orange color in transmission (thus in specular reflection if the particles are placed on an at least partially reflective layer).
- Titanium dioxide makes it possible to modify the path of light by increasing the diffusion within the masking structure, which brings greater opacity and thus reduces the red-orange reflective appearance produced by the colloidal silica.
- the masking structure further comprises a multilayer interference pigment.
- the multilayer interference pigment has the particularity of preferentially selecting certain wavelengths in reflection and in transmission.
- a blue iridescent pigment reflects in the specular direction (angle of reflection equal to the angle of incidence) more blue wavelengths than the others.
- the color obtained is then complementary to the color in reflection, that is to say red-orange.
- the multilayer interference pigments may be relatively transparent, because they are not very absorbent, and consequently a layer of multilayer interference pigment will have, in diffuse reflection (in all other directions other than the specular direction) the same color as in transmission (complementary to the color in specular reflection).
- the layer of blue indescent pigment spread on a white paper will give a red-orange color.
- multilayer interference pigment is intended to mean a pigment producing a color by an interference phenomenon by virtue of a succession in the path of light of at least two different refractive index materials.
- a multilayer interference pigment is still sometimes referred to as "nacre" in the case of layers deposited on a platelet-based base.
- a multilayer interference pigment is different from a liquid crystal, which can also generate a color by an interference phenomenon due to its intrinsic structure.
- the color associated with the light scattering by the nanometric charges and that related to the diffuse reflection by the multilayer interference pigment it is possible, by additive synthesis, to obtain colors, a color substantially similar to that of the substrate, for example white, by suitably choosing the color of the pigment and the color of the load; preferably, a blue, green or blue-green multi-layer interference pigment, or a mixture of green and blue pigments, is combined with the nanometric fillers.
- the combination of the pigment and the nanometric charges enhances the diffusion of incident light within the masking structure, and decreases the reflective visibility of the security element. This combination also makes it possible to limit the proportion of the nanometric filler having the highest refractive index, in particular titanium dioxide, and thus to limit the opacification in transmitted light and, where appropriate, the absorption of UV.
- the multilayer interference pigment according to the invention comprises a transparent base, preferably mineral, coated with at least one layer of a refractive index material different from that of the base.
- the pigment can have a platelet base, preferably of mica or glass.

- the multilayer interference pigment may be non-goniochromatic, and may comprise for example only one layer coating a base.
- the mass quantity of multilayer interference pigment relative to the mass of the masking structure is preferably between 1 and 40%, better still between 2 and 30%, and more preferably between 5 and 15%.

- the thickness of the masking structure can be between 2 and 30 microns, better between 5 and 20 microns, more preferably between 8 and 13 microns.
