Cholesteric laminate material for production of flake pigments and coating materials comprises two cholesteric layers with an interlayer of adhesive material

摘要

An adhesive layer (B) forms the interlayer between similar or different cholesteric layers (A1) and (A2) in a cholesteric laminate material with the layer sequence A1/B/A2. Independent claims are also included for: (i) a process for the production of cholesteric laminate material by: (a) coating a base with a first coating material which is hardened to form layer (A1); (b) coating (A1) with a second material containing heat- and/or pressure-activated adhesive(s) to form a laminate A1/B with adhesive layer (B); (c) coating another base with a third coating material which is hardened to form layer (A2); (d) laminating (A2) with (A1/B) under elevated pressure and/or temperature to form laminate A1/B/A2; (e) stripping off the second base; and optionally (f) stripping off the first base; (ii) a process for the production of multilayer cholesteric flake pigments with the layer sequence A1/B/A2 by milling the above material to a particle size of up to 200 microns; (iii) cholesteric flake pigments obtained by this process; and (iv) compositions and coating materials containing these multilayer pigments.
