Abstract
Description
本発明は、偽造防止用赤外線吸収インキに関する。さらに詳しくは、無機系の赤外線吸収剤を含有する偽造防止用赤外線吸収インキに関する。 The present invention relates to an infrared absorption ink for preventing forgery. More specifically, the present invention relates to an anti-counterfeit infrared absorbing ink containing an inorganic infrared absorber.
紙幣や有価証券等には、偽造防止を目的として紫外線や赤外線を吸収又は反射する赤外線吸収インキを使用した印刷が施されている。
赤外線吸収インキは、一般に用いられる印刷用のインキに赤外線吸収剤が加えられて印刷用インキを構成する。赤外線吸収剤としては、無機色素のカーボンブラックや赤外領域に吸収を持つ有機色素が一般的に用いられている。赤外領域に吸収を持つ有機色素としては、例えばポリメチレン系、フタロシアニン系、ジチオール金属錯塩、ナフトキノン系、アントラキノン系、インドールフェノール系、アゾ系、トリアリルメタン系等の化合物を挙げることができる。
Banknotes, securities, and the like are printed using infrared absorbing ink that absorbs or reflects ultraviolet rays and infrared rays for the purpose of preventing counterfeiting.
Infrared absorbing ink is constituted by adding an infrared absorbing agent to commonly used printing ink. As the infrared absorber, carbon black, an inorganic pigment, or an organic pigment having absorption in the infrared region is generally used. Examples of organic dyes having absorption in the infrared region include compounds such as polymethylene, phthalocyanine, dithiol metal complex salts, naphthoquinone, anthraquinone, indolephenol, azo, and triallylmethane.
しかし、有機色素を含有した赤外線吸収インキは、多彩な色の赤外線吸収インキに調合することができるが、インキの耐光性の問題が指摘されている。
一方、赤外線吸収剤としてカーボンブラックを用いた赤外線吸収インキは、インキの耐光性は有機色素を含有した赤外線吸収インキより優れているものの、カーボンブラックが濃い暗色系の色調を有する顔料であるためインキの色は黒色系や明度の低いものに限られていた。このため、カーボンブラック含有赤外線吸収インキを用いた場合、他の色を有する顔料と混合して、バリエーションに富んだ色彩を有する赤外線吸収インキを調合することができなかった。仮に、カーボンブラックの色調を明るくするため、酸化チタン、酸化亜鉛等の白色顔料を添加しても、これは赤外線反射顔料を混合することになるので、インキの赤外線吸収性が阻害されることになる。また、赤外線吸収顔料の粒子が粗いと、真贋判定機の読取ヘッドに負担をかけることになるので、真贋判定機の読取ヘッドの耐耗性に悪影響をないようにすることが求められている。
However, infrared absorbing inks containing organic dyes can be formulated into various color infrared absorbing inks, but the problem of ink light resistance has been pointed out.
On the other hand, the infrared absorbing ink using carbon black as the infrared absorbing agent is superior to the infrared absorbing ink containing an organic dye in the light resistance of the ink, but the carbon black is a pigment having a dark color tone. The color of was limited to black and low brightness. For this reason, when the carbon black-containing infrared absorbing ink is used, it is impossible to prepare an infrared absorbing ink having a variety of colors by mixing with a pigment having another color. Even if a white pigment such as titanium oxide or zinc oxide is added to lighten the color tone of the carbon black, it will mix the infrared reflecting pigment, which will inhibit the infrared absorption of the ink. Become. In addition, if the particles of the infrared absorbing pigment are coarse, it imposes a burden on the reading head of the authenticity determination machine, and therefore, it is required to prevent the wear resistance of the reading head of the authenticity determination machine from being adversely affected.
本発明者らが、無機系赤外線吸収剤を含有する赤外線吸収インキについて鋭意検討した結果、アンチモンドープ酸化錫の錫とアンチモンとを特定の組成比としたアンチモンドープ酸化錫を赤外線吸収剤として用いることにより、偽造防止用の優れた赤外線吸収インキが得られることを見出し、本発明を完成するに至った。
As a result of intensive studies on the infrared absorbing ink containing an inorganic infrared absorber by the present inventors , antimony doped tin oxide having a specific composition ratio of tin and antimony of antimony doped tin oxide is used as an infrared absorber. Thus, it was found that an excellent infrared absorbing ink for preventing forgery can be obtained, and the present invention has been completed.
すなわち、本発明の偽造防止用赤外線吸収インキは、アンチモンドープ酸化錫を含み、アンチモンドープ酸化錫の錫とアンチモンの組成比が７０：３０〜９９．９：０．１重量％にあるものである。
That is, the anti-counterfeit infrared absorbing ink of the present invention contains antimony-doped tin oxide, and the composition ratio of tin and antimony in the antimony-doped tin oxide is 70:30 to 99.9: 0.1% by weight. .
アンチモンドープ酸化錫を赤外線吸収剤として用いることにより、様々な色の顔料と組み合わせた赤外線吸収インキを得ることが可能となる。
また、明度の高いアンチモンドープ酸化錫であるため、インキ化した場合の透明度も高く、淡色系の顔料と混合してインキ化することが可能である。すなわち、これまでカーボンブラックでは実現できなかった淡い色彩の赤外線吸収インキを作成することができ、デザイン性に富んだ紙幣や有価証券等を赤外線吸収インキで印刷することが可能になる。
さらに、パール顔料、蛍光顔料、蓄光顔料等の偽造防止に用いられる特殊顔料と組み合わせて使用しても、特殊顔料の効果を損なうことがないため、２つ以上の偽造防止効果を併せ持つ偽造防止用のインキとすることができる。
また本発明の赤外線吸収インキは、赤外線反射インキ等の赤外線非吸収インキとの色合わせが容易にできる。赤外線吸収インキと赤外線非吸収インキとを組み合わせることにより、肉眼では判別し難いが、赤外線吸収度の違いによるコントラストをＩＲ検知器により確実に検知することができるので、精度の高い偽造防止印刷物とすることが可能である。
なお、本発明の赤外線吸収インキは、パールインキ等の顔料とアンチモンドープ酸化錫を混合しただけであるので、現行の紙幣や有価証券等の印刷ラインを変更せずとも、赤外線吸収による偽造防止効果を付与した印刷物を得ることが可能である。
The use of antimony-doped tin oxide as an infrared absorber, it is possible to obtain an infrared absorbing ink in combination with various color pigments.
Moreover, since a high lightness antimony-doped tin oxide, transparency of the case where the ink of even rather high, and mixed with the pigment of light color can be inked. That is, it is possible to create a light-colored infrared absorbing ink that could not be realized with carbon black until now, and it is possible to print banknotes, securities, and the like that are rich in design with the infrared absorbing ink.
Furthermore, even when used in combination with special pigments used to prevent counterfeiting, such as pearl pigments, fluorescent pigments, and phosphorescent pigments, the effect of the special pigments is not impaired, so it is for counterfeit prevention that has two or more anti-counterfeiting effects. Ink.
The infrared absorbing ink of the present invention can be easily color-matched with an infrared non-absorbing ink such as an infrared reflecting ink. By combining infrared absorbing ink and infrared non-absorbing ink, it is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, but the contrast due to the difference in infrared absorption can be reliably detected by an IR detector, so that it is a highly accurate anti-counterfeit printed matter. It is possible.
In addition, since the infrared absorbing ink of the present invention is simply a mixture of a pigment such as pearl ink and antimony-doped tin oxide, the anti-counterfeiting effect due to infrared absorption can be achieved without changing the current printing line for banknotes and securities. Can be obtained.
以下、本発明の実施の形態について詳細に説明する。
本発明の偽造防止用赤外線吸収印刷インキは、アンチモンドープ酸化錫を含むことを特徴とする。偽造防止用赤外線吸収印刷インキは、アンチモンドープ酸化錫に加え、バリエーションに富んだ色彩とするため、様々な色の顔料、特殊顔料（以下、「様々な色の顔料と特殊顔料」を単に「顔料」ということもある）や染料を添加することができる。
この偽造防止用赤外線吸収印刷インキは平均粒径０．０１μｍ〜１００μｍのアンチモンドープ酸化錫を含んでいる。平均粒径０．０１μｍ〜１００μｍのアンチモンドープ酸化錫は、明度が高いため様々な色の顔料や染料と組み合わせて、バリエーションに富んだ色に調合することができ、特に淡い色の赤外線吸収インキとすることもできる。
平均粒径が０．０１μｍ以下の場合、赤外線吸収性の低下、凝集等の問題が生じ、１００μｍを超えると印刷に支障が生ずる。好ましくは、グラビア印刷用インキやフレキソ印刷用インキでは３０μｍ以下、オフセット印刷用インキでは３μｍ以下、シルク印刷用インキでは１００μｍ以下とする。
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.
The infrared absorbing printing ink for preventing forgery of the present invention is characterized by containing antimony-doped tin oxide. In addition to antimony-doped tin oxide, anti-counterfeit infrared-absorbing printing inks have various colors and special pigments (hereinafter referred to as “color pigments and special pigments”). Or a dye may be added.
This anti-counterfeit infrared absorbing printing ink contains antimony-doped tin oxide having an average particle size of 0.01 μm to 100 μm. Antimony-doped tin oxide with an average particle size of 0.01 μm to 100 μm has high brightness, so it can be combined with pigments and dyes of various colors and formulated in a variety of colors. You can also
When the average particle size is 0.01 μm or less, problems such as a decrease in infrared absorption and aggregation occur, and when it exceeds 100 μm, printing is hindered. Preferably, it is 30 μm or less for gravure ink or flexographic ink, 3 μm or less for offset printing ink, and 100 μm or less for silk printing ink.
アンチモンドープ酸化錫は、酸化錫と酸化アンチモンの焼成により得ることができる。すなわち、酸化錫、酸化アンチモンを水と混合した後、乾燥し、焼成することでアンチモンドープ酸化錫の粉体が得られる。そして、得られた粉体を粉砕して平均粒度を調整し、赤外線吸収剤とする。
酸化錫と酸化アンチモンの配合比（重量比）は、７０：３０〜９９．９：０．１の範囲である。酸化アンチモンの配合比率は、３０を超えるとアンチモンドープ酸化錫の明度が低くなり、０．１より少なくするとアンチモンドープ酸化錫の赤外線吸収性が悪くなる。明度と赤外線吸収性のバランスの良い顔料とするには、好ましくは、８０：２０〜９８：２の範囲である。さらに好ましくは、９５：５である。
Antimony-doped tin oxide can be obtained by firing tin oxide and antimony oxide. That is, after mixing tin oxide and antimony oxide with water, drying and firing, an antimony-doped tin oxide powder can be obtained. And the obtained powder is grind | pulverized, an average particle diameter is adjusted, and it is set as an infrared absorber.
The compounding ratio (weight ratio) of tin oxide and antimony oxide is in the range of 70:30 to 99.9: 0.1. When the blending ratio of antimony oxide exceeds 30, the brightness of antimony-doped tin oxide is lowered, and when it is less than 0.1, the infrared absorption property of antimony-doped tin oxide is deteriorated. In order to obtain a pigment having a good balance between lightness and infrared absorptivity, it is preferably in the range of 80:20 to 98: 2. More preferably, it is 95: 5.
具体的には、例えば、配合比（重量比）７０：３０〜９９．９：０．１の酸化錫と酸化アンチモンとを水に混合し、得られた混合物を約２００℃で乾燥させた後、約１３００℃で約５時間焼成してアンチモンドープ酸化錫を得ることができる。 Specifically, for example, tin oxide and antimony oxide having a blending ratio (weight ratio) of 70:30 to 99.9: 0.1 are mixed with water, and the obtained mixture is dried at about 200 ° C. And baking at about 1300 ° C. for about 5 hours to obtain antimony-doped tin oxide.
得られたアンチモンドープ酸化錫は、ややグレーがかった色に着色しているため、様々な色を有する赤外線吸収インキのベースとなるインキ（以下、ベースインキという）が暗色系を呈することになる。濃い暗色系の赤外線吸収インキを調合する場合には問題とならないが、明色系の赤外線吸収インキとするためには問題がある。特に、淡色系の赤外線吸収インキとすることはほとんど無理である。仮に、ベースインキの色調を明るくするため、酸化チタン、酸化亜鉛等の白い顔料を添加した場合には、赤外線吸収性が阻害されることになるので好ましくない。 Since the obtained antimony-doped tin oxide is colored in a slightly grayish color, the ink that serves as the base of the infrared absorbing ink having various colors (hereinafter referred to as base ink) exhibits a dark color system. There is no problem in preparing a dark-colored infrared absorbing ink, but there is a problem in obtaining a light-colored infrared absorbing ink. In particular, it is almost impossible to obtain a light-colored infrared absorbing ink. If a white pigment such as titanium oxide or zinc oxide is added to brighten the color tone of the base ink, it is not preferable because the infrared absorptivity is inhibited.
しかし、アンチモンドープ酸化錫の平均粒径が、０．０１μｍ〜１００μｍの範囲では、淡い白色をしたベースインキが得られる。ベースインキが適度に白色を帯びていることが重要である。ベースインキに色付けをする際には、ベースインキが無色透明であるよりも、適度に白色を帯びているほうが、色付けをする染料や顔料の発色がよいからである。この場合には、暗色系、明色系の赤外線吸収インキをより容易に調合することができる。
前述したように、平均粒度が０．０１μｍより小さいと赤外線が透過してしまうので赤外線吸収性が低下するため好ましくなく、１００μｍを超えて大きくなるとベースインキが次第にグレー色を帯びるので好ましくない。
なお、平均粒度の測定は、レーザー回析・散乱法によって行えばよい。
However, when the average particle diameter of the antimony-doped tin oxide is in the range of 0.01 μm to 100 μm, a light white base ink can be obtained. It is important that the base ink is moderately white. This is because when the base ink is colored, the dye or pigment to be colored is better colored with a moderate white color than when the base ink is colorless and transparent. In this case, dark-colored and light-colored infrared absorbing inks can be prepared more easily.
As described above, if the average particle size is smaller than 0.01 μm, infrared rays are transmitted, which is not preferable because the infrared absorptivity is lowered. If the average particle size is larger than 100 μm, the base ink gradually becomes gray.
The average particle size may be measured by a laser diffraction / scattering method.
特に平均粒度が０．１〜３．０μｍの範囲にあるアンチモンドープ酸化錫を含むインキは、白色度（明度）が８５以上を有する。なお、他の色の顔料や染料と混合する場合には、白色度は７０以上であればよいが、色彩のくすみを抑えてクリアーな色に調合するためには７５以上がさらに好ましい。
なお、アンチモンドープ酸化錫の白色度は次のようにして測定したものである。すなわち、以下の組成のベースインキを普通紙（Ｊ、富士ゼロックス社製）にバーコーターＮｏ．１８を使用してインキを１回塗布し乾燥させた。得られた印刷物を分光光度計（Ｕ−４０００自記分光光度計、日立製作所）を用いて、波長８００〜３５０ｎｍ、光源Ｄ６５、視野角２度でのＬ*値を測定して白色度（明度）の値とした。なお、普通紙（Ｊ、富士ゼロックス社製）をベースラインとして使用した。
樹脂：ポリエステル樹脂 １００ｇ
溶剤：メチルエチルケトン：トルエン＝１：１混合物 １００ｇ
アンチモンドープ酸化錫 １０ｇ
なお、Ｌ*値は０〜１００で表現され、白色度が低いほど（明度が低いほど）値は小さくなる。
In particular, the ink containing antimony-doped tin oxide having an average particle size in the range of 0.1 to 3.0 μm has a whiteness (lightness) of 85 or more. In addition, when mixing with pigments and dyes of other colors, the whiteness may be 70 or more, but 75 or more is more preferable in order to suppress the dullness of the color and prepare a clear color.
The whiteness of the antimony-doped tin oxide was measured as follows. That is, a base ink having the following composition was applied to plain paper (J, manufactured by Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd.) with a bar coater No. 18 was used to apply the ink once and let it dry. Using the spectrophotometer (U-4000 recording spectrophotometer, Hitachi, Ltd.), the obtained printed matter was measured for L * value at a wavelength of 800 to 350 nm, a light source D65, and a viewing angle of 2 degrees, and whiteness (brightness) The value of Note that plain paper (J, manufactured by Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd.) was used as the baseline.
Resin: 100g polyester resin
Solvent: methyl ethyl ketone: toluene = 1: 1 mixture 100 g

In order to make antimony-doped tin oxide having an average particle size of 0.01 μm to 100 μm into an infrared absorbing ink, it is blended with a polymer, a colorant such as a pigment or a dye, a solvent, and the like. In the case of gravure printing ink, the blending ratio of antimony-doped tin oxide is 0.03 to 0.40 with respect to the resin 1 in terms of weight ratio. For other printing methods, the following ranges are appropriate.
In the case of flexographic ink, the weight ratio is 0.02 to 0.40 with respect to resin 1.
In the case of offset printing ink, by weight, 0.02 to 0.30 relative to resin 1,
In the case of silk printing ink, the weight ratio is 0.01 to 0.40 relative to resin 1.
高分子ポリマーは透明な単一の分子重合樹脂あるいは共重合樹脂である熱可塑性樹脂や熱硬化性樹脂を用いることができ、例えば、ポリスチレン系樹脂、ポリエステル系樹脂、アクリル系樹脂、シリコーン樹脂、フッ素樹脂、ポリアミド系樹脂、ポリビニルアルコール系樹脂、ポリウレタン系樹脂、ポリオレフィン系樹脂、ポリカーボネート樹脂、ポリスルホン樹脂、ポリエステル樹脂、塩化ビニル−酢酸ビニル共重合樹脂を成分とするものである。これらの樹脂は単独あるいは混合して用いてもよい。また、溶剤にはトルエン、キシレン、シクロヘキサノン、メチルエチルケトン、酢酸エチル等の有機溶媒を用いることができるが、これらに限定されるものではない。着色剤は、特に限定されるものではなく、一般的な顔料や染料を選択して用いることができる。希釈溶剤は、一般的に用いられるキシレン、メチルイソブチルケトン、シクロヘキサノン等から適宜選択して用いればよい。なお、希釈溶剤は、赤外線吸収インキの印刷適正に応じて添加されるもので、印刷方法等の印刷条件に応じた量を使用すればよい。印刷は、グラビア印刷法、スクリーン印刷法、フレキソ印刷法のほか、一般的に用いられる各種印刷法又はこれらの複数の印刷法を組み合わせて行うことができる。 As the polymer, a transparent single molecular polymerization resin or copolymer resin such as thermoplastic resin or thermosetting resin can be used. For example, polystyrene resin, polyester resin, acrylic resin, silicone resin, fluorine resin Resins, polyamide resins, polyvinyl alcohol resins, polyurethane resins, polyolefin resins, polycarbonate resins, polysulfone resins, polyester resins, and vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer resins are used as components. These resins may be used alone or in combination. Moreover, although organic solvents, such as toluene, xylene, cyclohexanone, methyl ethyl ketone, ethyl acetate, can be used for a solvent, it is not limited to these. The colorant is not particularly limited, and a general pigment or dye can be selected and used. The diluent solvent may be appropriately selected from xylene, methyl isobutyl ketone, cyclohexanone and the like that are generally used. The dilution solvent is added according to the printing suitability of the infrared absorbing ink, and an amount corresponding to the printing conditions such as the printing method may be used. The printing can be performed by combining various gravure printing methods, screen printing methods, flexographic printing methods, various commonly used printing methods, or a combination of these printing methods.
一般的に、磁気カード等の磁力を測定するヘッドは、磁力を測定する時に検査対象物に一定の圧力をかけながら測定・検査を行っている。真贋測定器においても、検査対象物に検出ヘッドで一定の圧力をかけて検査を行うことになる。
検出ヘッドに対して、この負荷を多少でも低減するためには、印刷物に使用される顔料の粒径を小さく、さらに顔料粒径を揃えるようにしたほうが良い。これは、小さい顔料に圧力を加えながら磁力を測定した場合のほうがヘッドに対しての接触面が小さくてすむ為である。粒径の大きい顔料では、粒径の小さい顔料に比べてヘッドに対する接触面が大きく、粒径の大きな顔料に圧力をかけながら測定することになるため、一点一点の接触面に大きな負荷がかかり、ヘッドの傷等が発生しやすくなる。
前述したように、赤外線吸収顔料を印刷した印刷物も、真贋を判定するとき色々なヘッドを通過する可能性があるため、顔料粒径が小さく、さらに顔料粒径が揃っていることが望ましい。
したがって、印刷材料とする赤外線吸収顔料は、赤外線吸収効果が高く、白色度及び、望ましくは透明度が高く、さらに、検査機器のヘッドに対して負荷がかかりにくい性質が必要とされている。
In general, a head for measuring magnetic force such as a magnetic card performs measurement and inspection while applying a certain pressure to an inspection object when measuring the magnetic force. Even in an authenticity measuring device, an inspection object is inspected by applying a certain pressure to the inspection object with a detection head.
In order to reduce this load to some extent with respect to the detection head, it is better to make the particle size of the pigment used in the printed material smaller and to make the pigment particle size uniform. This is because the contact surface with the head is smaller when the magnetic force is measured while applying pressure to a small pigment. A pigment with a large particle size has a larger contact surface with the head than a pigment with a small particle size, and measurement is performed while applying pressure to the pigment with a large particle size. As a result, the head is likely to be damaged.
As described above, since the printed matter on which the infrared absorbing pigment is printed may pass through various heads when determining authenticity, it is desirable that the pigment particle size is small and the pigment particle size is uniform.
Therefore, the infrared absorbing pigment used as the printing material is required to have a high infrared absorbing effect, a high degree of whiteness, and preferably high transparency, and a property that is difficult to apply a load to the head of the inspection device.
