Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a composition of safety marking with light cascade.
  • the security marking compositions comprising photoluminescent elements have been used since many years to minimize the risk of reproduction by fraudsters of legal documents or economic documents, especially banknotes.
  • a security marking composition comprising a organic matrix in which are incorporated at least a fluorescent component and at least one phosphorescent component forming between them a luminous cascade, that is, one of the components has a range of lengths of excitation waves that corresponds at least partially with the luminescence wavelength range of the other component.
  • a security marking composition presents the advantage of realizing a true encoding of the light, the fraudster being unable to when submitting the document containing the composition to a determined wavelength, to establish a direct relationship between the observed final luminescence and the wavelength of the initial radiation.
  • the composition described in this document therefore has a significant advantage compared to previous compositions.
  • composition of security marking comprising an organic matrix in which at least two components are incorporated photoluminescents forming a luminous cascade, one at less components having a luminescence according to a upward conversion.
  • Luminescence according to a conversion ascending (anti-Stokes effect or "Up-Conversion"), a luminescence in a range of lower wavelengths at the excitation wavelength of the component concerned, as opposed to luminescence according to a downward conversion (Stokes effect) for which the luminescence is produced in a range of lengths waves greater than the excitation wavelength as is usually the case for most components photoluminescents, in particular the components described in EP 265 323. It is thus multiplied the number of combinations made by the cascade and therefore increases the difficulty of determining the components entering the composition.
  • the composition further comprises a luminous cascade of which the components all have a luminescence according to a conversion down.
  • At least one of the components has luminescence according to upward and downward conversions.
  • the security marking composition according to the invention comprises an organic matrix formed by example by a binder of acrylic resin, and a mixture photoluminescence representing about 20% by weight of the composition, the photoluminescent mixture comprising a part of zinc sulphide doped with silver, a part of sulphide of zinc doped with copper, a part of calcium sulphide doped with europium and samarium, and a part of vanadate of yttrium doped with neodymium.
  • zinc sulphide doped with silver is a fluorescent component, that is, its luminescence ceases immediately after the cessation of the excitation, and has luminescence in a downward conversion, that is to say, it is excited by radiation in a range of wavelengths from around 200 nm at about 370 nm, and then emits a luminescence in a first range of wavelengths between about 400 nm and 500 nm.
  • Yttrium vanadate is also a fluorescent component. He is excited by a radiation in a range of wavelengths ranging from about 250 nm to about 370 nm, and then emit luminescence in a range of wavelengths included between about 800 nm and 900 nm.
  • Zinc sulphide doped with silver forms with calcium sulphide doped with europium and at the samarium, a first luminous cascade in which calcium sulphide emits luminescence according to a downward conversion by an excitation in a range of wavelengths between approximately 450 nm and 580 nm and emission in a range of lengths between about 600 nm and 700 nm, and the Yttrium vanadate forms with calcium sulphide a second luminous cascade in which the sulfide of calcium emits luminescence according to a rising conversion by excitation in the wavelength range covering the luminescence range of yttrium vanadate (800 to 900 nm), and a luminescent emission in the range of wavelengths between 600 nm and 700 nm.
  • Copper-doped zinc sulphide is a component phosphorescent, that is, whose luminescent emission continues beyond the cessation of excitement, and emits luminescence according to a downconversion, the excitation being caused by radiation at a wavelength of the order of 370 nm and the emission luminescent being produced mainly for a length wave of the order of 500 nm.
  • Zinc sulphide doped copper thus also forms a luminous cascade with calcium sulphide doped with europium and samarium but the two components of this luminous cascade then have a luminescence in a downward conversion.
  • the composition according to the invention has a pink color when set under ultraviolet radiation it has a color white and when kept in the dark after cessation of ultraviolet radiation it presents a pale green color.
  • the invention can be realized with a single luminous cascade of which one of the components has a luminescence according to a conversion descendant and the other a luminescence according to a upstream conversion, for example using only Yttrium vanadate, which has a luminescence according to a descending conversion and calcium sulphide which is then excited only in its upward conversion.
  • a cascade with a first excited component in the ultraviolet and emitting in the infrared (the yttrium vanadate), and a second component excited in infrared and emitting in the visible range (sulphide calcium).
  • composition according to the invention may also be carried out with rare earth oxysulfides which have a luminescence according to a downward or upward conversion depending on the dopant used.
  • rare earth oxysulfides which have a luminescence according to a downward or upward conversion depending on the dopant used.
  • Europium doped yttrium oxysulfide can be used which has a luminescence according to a rising conversion.
  • composition includes both fluorescent and phosphorescent components, this can also be done with components exclusively fluorescent, for example a composition not containing copper-doped zinc sulfide.
  • calcium sulphide can also be be doped exclusively with europium or samarium.
