Definitions

  • the invention relates to methods of producing a multi-layered value document substrate, value document substrates obtainable by the method and value documents, in particular banknotes, having such a value document substrate.
  • Value documents within the meaning of the invention include banknotes, stocks, bonds, certificates, vouchers, checks, air tickets, high-quality entrance tickets, labels for product security, credit or debit cards, but also other forgery-prone documents, such as passports, ID cards or other identity documents.
  • Value documents in particular banknotes, are usually made of paper substrates which have special security features, such as a security thread at least partially incorporated into the paper and a watermark, and which are usually made of cotton fibers.
  • special security features such as a security thread at least partially incorporated into the paper and a watermark
  • cotton fibers which are usually made of cotton fibers.
  • Paint finishes have the disadvantage that, although the pollution is reduced, the mechanical properties are hardly improved.
  • reinforcing fibers have an advantageous effect on the mechanical resistance, the degree of contamination is rather greater due to the higher porosity of the paper, so that additional coatings must be applied.
  • plastic banknotes An overview of plastic banknotes can be found eg in the article EL Prime, DH Solomon: "Australia's Plastic Banknotes: an effective weapon against counterfeiting", Angewandte Chemie, 2010, Volume 122, pages 2-13 , Polymer substrates used in plastic banknotes have the disadvantage, among other things, that paper watermarking is not readily possible compared to paper substrates. Although it is possible to produce a watermark-like appearance by printing technology. For the viewer, however, big differences to a real watermark are recognizable.
  • the document WO 2004/028825 discloses a method of making a multi-ply value document substrate having at least one paper strip embedded between at least one watermark and comprising: a) providing a first film web and a second film web; b) embedding the paper strip, which is watermarked, between the first film web and the second film web; c) the trimming of the composite obtained in step b).
  • the invention has for its object to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art.
  • the counterfeit protection of polymer substrates used in plastic banknotes should be increased.
  • a watermarked paper strip is embedded between two film webs.
  • individual paper patches each provided with at least one watermark, are embedded between two film webs.
  • the step of embedding the paper strips or the paper patches can in particular be carried out directly after an extrusion process, by which the film webs are provided.
  • the step of embedding may take place in an operation subsequent to the extrusion process, for example in a laminating step.
  • polyurethane adhesives or acrylate adhesives are suitable.
  • the polyurethane adhesives may be one-component or two-component.
  • the production of a multilayer film, for example by coextrusion through two or more slot dies, is known in the specialist literature.
  • the production of a multilayer film directly without lamination is eg in the WO 97/46367 A1 described.
  • the paper strips or paper patches to be embedded can be embedded according to a further alternative via an inline thermal lamination.
  • the polyurethane adhesives may be one-component or two-component.
  • the paper strip may in particular be a wide strip, but also a (narrow) paper thread.
  • the watermark used according to the invention can be a two-level watermark with a strong light-dark effect or a multi-level watermark with smooth transitions between light and dark and detailed representation of a motif.
  • multi-level is to be understood in contrast to two-stage light-dark watermark and includes all watermarks with more than two brightness levels and includes in particular watermarks with continuous light-dark transitions.
  • a three-dimensional relief is introduced into a dewatering screen of a paper machine, so that the paper thickness of the finished paper is varied or modulated according to the relief and soft, gradual transitions between brighter and darker areas can be detected in transmitted light.
  • the dewatering screen has a carrier screen, which has a multi-level relief in the form of the watermark to be produced in a partial area, the multi-level relief being formed by an injection-molded, perforated watermark insert.
  • the paper substrate produced with such a dewatering screen may be very thin in the area of the multi-level watermark, so that the paper substrate in this area is advantageously stabilized by means of the film web used in the present invention.
  • At least one film web is or are transparent.
  • the film web is based, for example, on polyesters, polyolefins (for example polyethylene or polypropylene, in particular biaxially oriented polypropylene BOPP), polyamides or polycarbonates. Polyester films, in particular polyethylene terephthalate films (PET films) are preferably used.
  • PET films polyethylene terephthalate films
  • the disadvantage of pure polymer substrates is, inter alia, the poor ver drapegée in intaglio printing.
  • the value-document substrates having paper according to the invention can be embossed excellently in the later intaglio printing process, ie the paper areas have a higher tactility than the pure film areas. This is related to the compressibility and deformability of the fiber composite.
  • a value document, such as a banknote, on the basis of the substrate according to the invention can be embossed over the entire area such that the embossing has a tactility only in the paper areas.
  • the tactility may be in perfect registration (ie, in register registration) with the paper strip or paper patch.
  • At least one of the film webs used in the present invention is additionally provided with security elements such as diffraction structures, security printing, liquid crystal layers, thin-film structures, fluorescent materials, magnetic, conductive and / or metallic layers.
  • security elements such as diffraction structures, security printing, liquid crystal layers, thin-film structures, fluorescent materials, magnetic, conductive and / or metallic layers.
  • the film web in particular both film webs
  • the film web is provided with such a security element in the region of the watermark.
  • the paper strips or paper patches (in the form of two intermediate layers) embedded can be introduced in an overlapping manner in particular. In this way, when viewed in transmitted light, a different, different from the single watermark, new optical effect.
  • FIGS. 1 to 3 refer in particular to the comparative example of the invention.
  • FIG. 1 shows the step of embedding a watermarked paper strip 1 between two film sheets 2, 3 obtained by extrusion via rotating rollers 4, 5.
  • two or more watermarked paper strips arranged in parallel may be simultaneously embedded continuously between the film webs 2, 3.
  • the multilayer substrate web thus obtained may be cut into individual value document substrates in a subsequent step (not shown in the figure).
  • FIG. 2 shows a multi-layer value document substrate 6 with three embedded between two film webs 7 paper strips 8, 9,10 in plan view.
  • paper strips 1, 8, 9, 10 can be made by means of a circular screening paper machine in a wide web and cut in a subsequent step to narrower strips or threads.
  • FIG. 3 shows the value document substrate of FIG. 2 in cross-sectional view along the line A-A '.
  • FIGS. 4 to 8 refer in particular to the invention.
  • FIG. 4 shows the step of successively embedding individual, each with a watermarked paper patches 11 between two sheets of film 2, 3 obtained by means of rotating rollers 4, 5.
  • the individual paper patches 11 via a dispenser 12 between the film webs 2, 3rd brought in.
  • the dispenser 12 is based on a rotating means of rollers arranged (screen) carrier on which the paper patches to be introduced loosely.
  • two or more parallel arranged paper patches each of which is provided with a watermark, can be embedded between the film webs 2, 3 in successive steps.
  • the multilayer substrate web thus obtained may be cut into individual value document substrates in a subsequent step (not shown in the figure).
  • FIG. 5 shows the top view of a multi-layer value document substrate 13, which was obtained by the fact that in successive steps each three different, parallel paper patches 14, 15, 16 were embedded between two film webs 17.
  • FIG. 6 shows the value document substrate of FIG. 5 in cross-sectional view along the line A-A '.
  • FIG. 7 shows a way to make the in the FIGS. 4 and 5 shown paper patches.
  • a watermarked paper web 18 is produced by means of a rotary screen paper machine in a wide web and applied to a (screen) carrier 19.
  • the desired paper patches 20 are punched out by means of a punch 21.
  • the paper grid 22 surrounding the paper patches 20 is then pulled off via the rotating rollers 23, 24.
  • the paper patches 20 remain on the (wire) carrier 19.
  • FIG. 8 shows a section of the (sieve) support 19 of FIG. 7 with thereon arranged paper patches 20 in plan view.
