摘要:
The bright pigment of the present invention contains a scaly substrate 10 and an outermost coating 20 that covers the scaly substrate 10, that is provided as an outermost layer, and that contains at least one member selected from the group consisting of hydroxyapatite and hydrocalumite. The bright pigment of the present invention may be further provided with an interference color coating that is disposed more towards the center than the outermost coating and that contains at least one metal oxide selected from the group consisting of titanium oxide and iron oxide. Moreover, the bright pigment of the present invention may be further provided with a silver-containing coating that is disposed more towards the center than the outermost coating and that contains silver and/or a silver alloy. The outermost coating may contain an anionic pigment.
摘要:
Optical effect pigment comprising a plurality of layers and a magnetic element, the layers can be arranged in two stacks of asymmetric layers or in a single stack of layers and comprise at least an absorber layer and at least a dielectric layer and can further comprise a reflector layer. The magnetic element presents a magnetisation which is out-of-plane, i.e. predominantly perpendicular to the plane of the pigment, which allows a deposition on the printing substrate whereby the face of the pigment lying up or down on the substrate can be predetermined. Such effect pigment has applications in many fields and specifically in security printing, where due to controlled deposition for instance a double-stack pigment will produce a different optical effect on each of its faces.
摘要:
A bright pigment of the present invention includes a scaly inorganic base 10, a silver-containing coating 11 that covers the inorganic base 10 and contains silver or a silver alloy, and a yellowing-suppressing coating 2 that covers the inorganic base 10 from outside of the silver-containing coating 11 and contains a metal compound functioning as an oxidizing agent. The metal compound is preferably at least one selected from the group consisting of a hydroxide of metal, an oxide hydrate of metal, and a salt of an oxide hydrate of metal, and the metal is at least one selected from the group consisting of tungsten, molybdenum, bismuth, vanadium, or cerium.
摘要:
Disclosed are colored flake-form effect pigments comprising one or more layers, where at least one of the layers comprises one or more colorants or is itself a colorant and at least one of the layers has a groove or grid structure, and to processes for the preparation thereof, and to the use thereof.
摘要:
Opaque flakes, such as pigment or bright flake used in paints and inks, have a selected shape and/or other indicia to provide a covert security feature to an object. In some embodiments the composition includes base pigment, and the opaque covert flakes match the visual characteristics of the base pigment. In another embodiment, opaque covert flakes are mixed in the carrier with base pigment at a concentration sufficient to avoid changing the appearance of the composition. In another embodiment, opaque covert flakes are mixed in a clear or tinted varnish base that can be applied over an existing security feature. Shaped opaque covert flakes are not readily detectable by causal observation, but in some embodiments are easily seen at 100null magnification.
摘要:
A bright pigment 100 includes: a flaky substrate 10; a first layer 20 that is formed on the flaky substrate 10 and that contains one selected from the group consisting of titanium dioxide, silver and a silver alloy as its main component; and a second layer 30 that is formed so that the first layer 20 is interposed between the flaky substrate 10 and the second layer 30 and that contains the hydroxide or hydrated oxide of neodymium.
摘要:
There is described an optical-effect-producing medium comprising a carrier medium (1) containing or comprising pigment particles (10) having at least one optically responsive pigment or dye (100) that responds to incident electromagnetic radiation of at least a selected excitation wavelength or wavelength band (λEX) by producing an optical response in the visible or near-visible spectrum. A refractive index (n1) of the carrier medium (1) and a refractive index (n2; n3) of the pigment particles (10) are selected to maximise the amount of incident electromagnetic radiation reaching the said at least one optically responsive pigment or dye (100). Also described is the use of such optical-effect-producing medium to produce an optically responsive feature, especially for security, authentication and/or identification purposes, as well as objects comprising such an optically responsive feature.
