Definitions

  • the invention relates to a polymer composition
  • a polymer composition comprising a polymer and at least one radiation sensitive substance, which can be modified by means of irradiation in such a way that after the irradiation the part of the surface of the polymer composition that has been subjected to irradiation has a colour that differs from the colour of the non-irradiated surface.
  • Such a polymer composition is known from patent application EP-A-327508.
  • the polymer composition according to that patent application contains a radiation sensitive substance comprising at least one bleachable additive and at least one non-bleachable pigment.
  • the polymer can be a thermoplastic as well as a thermosetting polymer.
  • the bleachable additive is chosen from the group of indanthrone and azo pigments, while the non-bleachable pigment is chosen from the group of organic pigments, inorganic pigments and polymer-soluble colorants.
  • On the surface of the polymer composition a marking is made by irradiating the surface of the polymer composition.
  • a pulsed laser is used as radiation source. The wavelength of the laser light used is between 250 and 780 nm.
  • the surface of the polymer composition shows a marking which has a colour that differs from the colour of the non-irradiated surface of the polymer composition. It is thus possible to make a marking, for instance as a decoration, an inscription or an indication, on the surface of the polymer composition according to EP- A-327508, in a colour which differs, from that of the surface.
  • a disadvantage of the polymer composition described in EP-A-327508 is that only a marking of one chromatic colour differing from the colour of the surface of the polymer composition can be obtained. In a number of applications, for instance in the case of a decoration or an indication, it is desirable, however, to have a marking of several colours differing from the colour of the non-irradiated surface of the polymer composition.
  • the objective of the present invention is the preparation of a polymer composition on which by means of irradiation a marking can be made of several chromatic colours that differ from each other as well as from the colour of the non-irradiated surface of the polymer composition.
  • the polymer composition according to the invention is characterized in that the radiation sensitive substance absorbs radiation in the visible range, the near infra-red region and/or the near ultra-violet region, can be modified in different ways, so that on the surface of the polymer composition several, mutually different chromatic colours can be obtained.
  • the polymer composition according to the invention can be irradiated in a simple way such that on the surface several, mutually different, coloured markings can be obtained. It also appears that the texture of the surface of the polymer composition does not change visibly as a result of the irradiation. In specific cases the gloss of the surface shows no or hardly any change at the place of the irradiation. After the irradiation the markings on the surface appear to be very heat, weather and light resistant under conditions of use. It further appears that the markings are wear and scratch resistant, corrosion resistant, dimensionally stable, free of deformation and well legible. Finally, the physical and mechanical properties of the polymer composition are hardly or not at all affected by the application of a marking.
  • chromatic colours are characterized by one or more absorption bands (absorption maxima and minima) in the visible range. If an absorption band lies between a wavelength of 400 and 430 nm, this means that that part of the incident light is absorbed. The rest of the incident light is scattered, so that the human eye perceives the object as yellow.
  • absorption bands at 430-480 nm, 480-550 nm, 550-600 nm and 600-700 nm give orange, red, violet and blue objects, respectively.
  • the colour of an apparently green object is characterized by two absorption bands, one at 400-450 nm and one at 580-700 nm (see also Heinrich Zollinger, Color Chemistry, 1987, pp. 9-12, VCH Verlagsgesellschaft mbH, einheim, Germany).
  • the colour of an object may also be caused by reflection and/or emission of radiation of a certain wavelength. If radiation with a wavelength of between 600 and 700 nm is emitted, an object looks red. If for instance due to reflection in several layers certain wavelengths are extinguished as a result of interference, this will give the object a certain colour.
  • the radiation sensitive substance in the polymer composition according to the invention can be modified in several ways.
  • the modification of a substance is understood to mean the modification of a substance by means of irradiation in such a way that its colour changes, which is a consequence of the changing of the absorption spectrum or of the interference pattern of the substance at the place of the irradiation. It is possible that the radiation sensitive substance itself absorbs the radiation. It is also well - A -
  • the radiation sensitive substance itself absorbs the radiation.
  • a radiation sensitive substance is understood to mean a substance which can be so modified by the effect of irradiation that the colour of the substance changes. This may mean that a colourless substance is modified to a coloured substance or that a coloured substance is removed or is modified to a colourless substance or that a coloured substance is modified to a differently coloured substance.
  • the radiation sensitive substance in the polymer composition can comprise several radiation sensitive components, but it is also possible that the radiation sensitive substance contains one radiation sensitive component which can be modified under several different irradiation conditions. This enables the surface of the polymer composition to be modified in such a way that a marking is obtained of several chromatic colours that differ from each other as well as from the colour of the non-irradiated surface.
  • the radiation sensitive substance comprises radiation sensitive components that can be chosen for instance from the group of organic and inorganic pigments, organic, inorganic and polymeric colorants, photochromic, thermochromic, piezochromic and prechromic compounds, coloured and uncoloured precursor colorants, coloured fillers, UV stabilizers, antioxidants, flame-retardants, acid formers, photooxidants and photoreductors.

  • carrier material can be used for instance polymers, dendritic macromolecules and zeolites.
  • the carrier material is porous.
  • the amount of radiation sensitive substance in the polymer composition according to the invention is mostly between 0.001 and 80 wt.%, preferably between 0.005 and 3 wt.% and more preferably between 0,01 and 1 wt.%.

Abstract

Composition polymère comportant un polymère et une substance sensible aux radiations et susceptible d'être modifiée par irradiation de telle sorte que la surface irradiée de ladite composition présente une couleur différente de celle de la surface non irradiée. Cette composition polymère est caractérisée en ce que la substance sensible aux radiations absorbe les radiations comprises dans le champ visible, le domaine infrarouge proche et/ou le domaine ultraviolet proche, et peut être modifiée de différentes façons afin que l'on obtienne à la surface de la composition polymère plusieurs couleurs chromatiques différentes les unes des autres. On a mis en évidence que l'on peut irradier de manière simple ladite composition polymère de manière à obtenir à la surface de celle-ci plusieurs marquages dont les couleurs chromatiques sont différentes les unes des autres. En outre, il s'avère que l'aspect visuel de la surface du polymère n'est pas modifié par l'irradiation. Dans certains cas, le brillant de la surface n'est pas, ou quasiment pas, modifié au niveau de la zone irradiée. Après l'irradiation, les marquages superficiels s'avèrent très résistants à la chaleur, aux intempéries et à la lumière dans les conditions d'utilisation. Par ailleurs, il s'avère que ces marquages sont résistants à l'usure, aux rayures et à la corrosion, que leurs dimensions sont stables, qu'ils ne se déforment pas et qu'ils sont lisibles snas difficultés. Enfin, les propriétés physiques et mécaniques de la composition polymère ne sont pas, ou quasiment pas, altérées par l'application des marquages.
