TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of anti-counterfeiting labels, in particular to a temperature-sensitive dynamic grating anti-counterfeiting label and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the current rapid development of commodity economy, counterfeit and inferior commodities are rampant in the market, not only damaging the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, but also seriously disrupting the market order and causing irreversible negative impact on the brand image of enterprises. Therefore, anti-counterfeiting labels with high security and difficult to counterfeit have become the core carrier of commodity traceability and quality assurance. At present, most anti-counterfeiting labels on the market use single or a few combinations of anti-counterfeiting technologies, such as ordinary grating anti-counterfeiting, simple optically variable ink printing, and basic relief patterns, but their anti-counterfeiting performance is limited and easy to be imitated by illegal elements.
[0003] The existing grating type anti-counterfeiting labels generally have the problems of single dynamic display effect and insufficient visual recognition, and poor compatibility with other anti-counterfeiting elements, making it difficult to form a synergistic anti-counterfeiting effect. The temperature change ink type anti-counterfeiting label often has the problems of insufficient disclosure of the formula, poor color change stability, unclear color development, unclear color change threshold, or reversible color change leading to anti-counterfeiting failure. At the same time, most anti-counterfeiting labels lack effective anti-replacement and anti-tearing design, and illegal elements can achieve counterfeiting by completely peeling off and replacing the label, further reducing the reliability of anti-counterfeiting. In addition, the preparation process of the existing composite anti-counterfeiting label has the problems of non-standard process and fuzzy parameter control, resulting in poor product consistency, unstable anti-counterfeiting effect, and inability to meet the demand for high security level anti-counterfeiting of high-end commodities.
[0004] In order to solve the above technical defects, it is urgent to develop a new type of anti-counterfeiting label which integrates multiple high-efficiency anti-counterfeiting technologies, has synergistic effect of various anti-counterfeiting elements, has clear and stable anti-counterfeiting response characteristics, and has anti-replacement and anti-tearing functions, so as to improve the security and reliability of anti-counterfeiting and effectively curb counterfeit and inferior behaviors.

These elements work together to form a multi-level anti-counterfeiting system. Individual anti-counterfeiting elements are difficult to counterfeit, and their synergistic effect further raises the anti-counterfeiting threshold, effectively avoiding the shortcomings of single anti-counterfeiting technologies being easily cracked.
[0017] 2. By clarifying the specific formula and proportion of thermochromic ink, the thermochromic ink is made colorless and transparent at room temperature, making it difficult to identify.

This solves the problems of unstable color change and reversible failure of existing thermochromic anti-counterfeiting labels, and improves the reliability of temperature-sensitive anti-counterfeiting.
[0018] 3. The dynamic grating layer and the color grating layer work together to create rich dynamic display effects. Combined with the three-dimensional dynamic visual effect of the cat's eye lens, the label has a very strong visual recognition. Ordinary consumers can quickly distinguish between genuine and counterfeit products through intuitive observation, reducing the difficulty of authenticity identification.
[0019] 4. The tear-resistant structure design at the edge of the substrate layer makes the label easily damaged when peeled or torn, preventing it from being reused completely. This effectively prevents criminals from counterfeiting by replacing labels and further ensures the authenticity of the product. Attached Figure Description

[0022] Example 1
[0023] 1. Substrate pretreatment Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) was selected as the substrate, with a thickness of 100 μm. The substrate was cut into regular 10 cm × 10 cm sheets and placed in an 80°C constant-temperature drying oven for 2 hours. During the drying process, the substrate was manually turned every 30 minutes to ensure thorough removal of moisture, dust, oil, and other impurities from both the top and bottom surfaces. After drying, the surface moisture content of the substrate was measured using a Karl Fischer moisture meter, and the result was 0.3%.
[0024] 2. Fabrication of dynamic grating layer Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) was selected as the material for the dynamic grating layer, and high-precision flatbed molding machine was used for compression molding. The molding pressure was set to 10 MPa, the molding temperature to 120℃, and the molding holding time to 30 s, allowing the PET material to flow fully within the mold cavity containing the grating pattern and replicate the pattern. After molding, the material was cooled to room temperature at a rate of 8℃ / min using the molding machine's cooling system. After demolding, the dynamic grating layer was obtained. Microscopic observation showed that the grating pitch of the dynamic grating layer was 120 μm, the tilt angle of the grating stripes on the dynamic grating layer was 20°, the stripes were regular and without deformation, and the surface flatness error was ≤2 μm.
[0025] 3. Fabrication of the color grating layer A red-based special colored grating coating was selected and uniformly applied to the surface of the dynamic grating layer using a doctor blade coater. The coating speed was set to 2 m / min, and the coating thickness was controlled to 15 μm by adjusting the doctor blade gap. After coating, the sample was placed in a hot air circulating drying oven at 70℃ for 30 minutes, maintaining an air velocity of 1.5 m / s throughout the drying process to ensure uniform drying of the coating. After drying, the colored grating layer exhibited uniform color and a tight bond with the dynamic grating layer. Adhesion was tested using a cross-cut adhesion test; no coating peeled off after crossing the grid, indicating an adhesion level of 1.
[0026] 4. Crystal relief layer and microtext molding Epoxy acrylate resin was selected as the UV-curing resin. An air spraying process was used to uniformly coat the resin onto the surface of the colored grating layer, achieving a coating thickness of 20 μm. A laser-engraved mold was used, with the surface bearing a microtext pattern of the letters "ABC123". The microtext lines were 20 μm wide and 10 μm high, with an 80 μm spacing between adjacent microtext lines. The laser engraving accuracy was ±1 μm for the line width and ±0.5 μm for the height. The mold was aligned with the coated resin surface, and a hydraulic press was used to apply a pressure of 3 MPa. After maintaining this pressure for 5 seconds, the UV curing equipment was activated at a wavelength of 365 nm and a curing dose of 1000 mJ / cm² for 30 seconds to complete the curing. After demolding, metallographic microscopy revealed a smooth surface of the crystal relief layer, with clearly legible microtext, free from defects or deformation, and evenly spaced along the texture of the crystal relief layer.
[0027] 5. Preparation of dynamic silver layer Dynamic abrasive silver powder with a particle size of 5μm was selected and mixed with polyurethane binder at a mass ratio of 1:4. The mixture was then placed in a high-speed disperser and stirred at 2000 rpm for 15 minutes to ensure uniform dispersion of the abrasive silver powder in the binder without agglomeration. The mixture was then applied to the surface of the crystal relief layer using an air spraying process. The spraying pressure was adjusted to 0.3 MPa, and the coating thickness was controlled to 12μm. After coating, the sample was placed in an 80℃ drying oven for 20 minutes. After drying, the dynamic abrasive silver layer exhibited a uniform abrasive silver luster, with no missed areas or lumps.
[0028] 6. Preparation of Optically Variable Ink Layer Aluminum powder was selected as the metal particle, with a particle size of 30 nm and a metal particle mass ratio of 15%. The aluminum powder and acrylic resin photochromic ink substrate were mixed at a mass ratio of 1:8 and placed in a planetary mixer. The mixture was stirred at 2000 rpm for 20 minutes, with the mixer stopped every 5 minutes to ensure uniform ink distribution and no sedimentation. The photochromic ink was printed onto the surface of the dynamic silver layer using a 300-mesh screen printing machine. The screen tension was adjusted to 25 N, controlling the printing thickness to 10 μm. After printing, the ink was dried in a 90℃ drying oven for 15 minutes. After drying, a colorimeter was used to measure the colors of the photochromic ink layer at 30°, 60°, 90°, and 120° viewing angles.

Preparation of thermochromic ink layer The raw materials were weighed according to the following mass proportions: 10% by mass for fluorane leuco dye (3,3-bis(4-dimethylaminophenyl)-6-dimethylaminofluorane); 15% by mass for bisphenol A developer (4,4'-dihydroxydiphenylpropane); 50% by mass for a 2:1 volume ratio of ethanol-ethyl acetate mixed solvent; and 25% by mass for acrylic resin film-forming agent. The leuco dye and developer were added to the mixed solvent and placed in a constant-temperature water bath mixer at 55°C and 800 rpm for 25 minutes until the solution was clear and free of particles. Then, the acrylic resin was added, and stirring was continued at the same speed for 30 minutes to obtain a uniform thermochromic ink. The ink viscosity was measured to be 300 mPa·s using a rotational viscometer. The thermochromic ink was then coated onto the surface of the photochromic ink layer using a doctor blade coater at a speed of 1 m / min and a coating thickness of 12 μm. After coating, the ink was first dried in a ventilated drying oven at 55℃ for 20 minutes, and then dried with the assistance of an infrared dryer at 60℃ for 8 minutes. This thermochromic ink layer is an irreversible thermochromic type, colorless and transparent at room temperature, and cannot be identified by the naked eye. Using a constant temperature water bath for gradual heating test, it began to turn red when the temperature reached 70℃. When the temperature was further increased to 75℃, the red color was completely stable. After cooling to room temperature, the color remained unchanged, and the color development was clear and uniform. Repeated heating three times showed no fading or color change.
[0030] 8. Cat's eye lens layer composite A 1.2mm focal length cat's eye lens film was selected and laminated onto the surface of the thermochromic ink layer using a hot press laminator. The lamination temperature was set at 100℃, the lamination pressure at 5MPa, and the lamination time at 8s. During the lamination process, the temperature at the lamination interface was monitored in real time using a temperature sensor to ensure uniform temperature. After lamination, the film was allowed to cool naturally to room temperature. The cat's eye lens film and the thermochromic ink layer were tightly laminated without any bubbles or peeling. By visual observation, the label exhibited a distinct three-dimensional dynamic visual effect at different angles, demonstrating a significant synergistic effect with the color grating layer and the dynamic grating layer.

The tear-resistant structure consisted of a continuous, closed-loop serrated cut line integrally formed on the substrate layer. The cut line depth was 2 / 3 of the substrate thickness, and the area enclosed by the closed-loop cut line was 3 cm². After die-cutting, under magnification, the label edges were free of burrs and flash, with a dimensional accuracy error ≤ ±0.1 mm. Subsequently, the label edges were UV-cured and sealed using UV-curable acrylic resin. The sealing material was 3 μm thick, and curing was completed in 10 seconds using a UV LED curing machine with a wavelength of 395 nm and a power of 80 W.

The stripes were regular, and the surface flatness error was ≤3 μm.
[0036] 3. Fabrication of the color grating layer A special blue-toned grating coating was selected and applied using a doctor blade coater at a speed of 1.5 m / min to a thickness of 12 μm.

[0066] The physical properties and reliability of the embodiments and comparative examples are compared in the table below: Table 2
[0067] The two performance comparison tables clearly show that the temperature-sensitive dynamic grating anti-counterfeiting labels of Examples 1-3 exhibit excellent performance in anti-counterfeiting response characteristics, physical properties, and reliability: the temperature change trigger temperature accuracy reaches 70℃±1℃, the optical color difference ΔE is ≥3.2, the microtext recognition is 100%, and the tear resistance is <5N, the coating adhesion is Grade 1, and the abrasion resistance and water resistance are stable, fully meeting the technical requirements of the claims. In contrast, the comparative examples lack microtext anti-counterfeiting elements, have large temperature change response fluctuations, optical color change ΔE <3.0, and lack tear-resistant structures and effective edge sealing, resulting in significantly inferior anti-counterfeiting effects, physical stability, and reliability compared to the examples. This fully demonstrates the high security and high reliability technical advantages achieved by the present invention through the collaborative design of multiple anti-counterfeiting elements and precise process parameter control.
