Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ink pad preparation, and in particular to a natural gem fluorescent anti-counterfeiting ink pad component, a preparation method and an anti-counterfeiting verification method. Background Art
[0002] With the booming art and collectibles market, counterfeiting techniques are becoming increasingly sophisticated, making traditional anti-counterfeiting methods (such as watermarks and laser labels) unable to meet high security requirements. Existing fluorescent anti-counterfeiting technologies often use synthetic fluorescent materials, but their fluorescent properties are easily imitated and lack long-term stability. Natural gemstones, due to their unique crystal structure and fluorescent properties, offer extremely high security against counterfeiting, but they have not yet been effectively applied in the field of anti-counterfeiting inks.
[0003] The present invention provides an anti-counterfeiting ink solution that is highly secure, easy to identify and difficult to imitate by selecting natural fluorescent gemstones and combining them with an optimized ink formula and preparation process. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a technical solution: a natural gem fluorescent anti-counterfeiting ink component, a preparation method and an anti-counterfeiting verification method, comprising the following components in percentage by mass:
[0005] Natural gemstone fluorescent pigment 5-30%
[0006] Adhesive 20-50%
[0007] Filler 10-40%
[0008] Stabilizer 0.5-5%
[0009] Solvent residue;
[0010] The natural gem fluorescent pigment is crushed and sieved natural fluorescent gem particles with a particle size range of 1-50 μm, which emit visible fluorescence of 400-700 nm under ultraviolet light excitation.
[0011] Furthermore, the natural fluorescent gemstone is selected from at least one of ruby, sapphire, diamond and fluorite having a fluorescent effect, and its fluorescent color corresponds to the type of gemstone.
[0012] Furthermore, the adhesive is at least one of acrylic resin, nitrocellulose or rosin-modified phenolic resin.
[0013] Furthermore, the filler is at least one of silicon dioxide, calcium carbonate or kaolin, and its particle size is less than 1 / 2 of the natural gem fluorescent pigment.
[0014] Furthermore, the stabilizer is a compound system of a hindered amine light stabilizer and a metal chelating agent, and the compounding mass ratio is 1:0.5-2.
[0015] The advantages of the invention compared with the prior art are:
[0016] 1. High anti-counterfeiting, difficult to imitate
[0017] Unique fluorescence characteristics of natural gemstones: the selected natural gemstones such as ruby, sapphire, diamond, fluorite, etc. have specific crystal structures and trace elements (such as Cr 3+ , rare earth elements, etc.), and their fluorescence spectra (such as the 694nm peak of ruby and the 435nm peak of fluorite) have narrow half-peak width (≤35nm) and high color purity, which are difficult to be fully reproduced by artificial synthetic materials.
[0018] Traceable microscopic features: Natural gemstones may contain microscopic features such as inclusions and growth lines during their formation, further increasing the difficulty of imitation.
[0019] 2. Double verification, easy to use
[0020] Invisible under normal light: The ink pad is no different from ordinary ink pad under natural light and does not affect the original appearance of calligraphy and painting works.
[0021] Rapid development under UV light: Simply use 365nm UV light to immediately reveal the unique fluorescent pattern, without the need for professional equipment, making it suitable for on-site identification.
[0022] 3. Excellent long-term stability
[0023] Strong weather resistance: Through the compound system of hindered amine light stabilizer and metal chelating agent, it can effectively resist environmental factors such as ultraviolet rays, humidity and heat, ensuring that the fluorescence performance decay rate is less than 5% within 10 years.
[0024] Long-lasting adhesion: The acrylic resin / nitrocellulose binder system makes the ink pad have excellent wear resistance and aging resistance on paper, silk and other materials, and is not easy to fall off or fade. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
