A mixture of magnetically orientable color shifting flakes and non-magnetically orientable color shifting flakes exhibiting a common color

摘要

A part of the pigment flakes which can be magnetically aligned to move from the first color to the second color when the observation angle is changed and a part of the pigment flakes which move in the color from the first color to the third color or vice versa as the observation angle changes Are mixed together, wherein the first color, the second color and the third color are three different colors. These flakes are coated on the substrate and the magnetically alignable flakes are magnetically aligned. The non-magnetically alignable flakes are not aligned by a magnetic field and are laid flat on the substrate surface on which they are coated. The effect of observing the color shift from the first color to the second color or from the first color to the third color occurs when the substrate is tilted at different specific angles by carefully selecting the angle at which the magnetic flakes are aligned . This coated substrate can be used for security applications such as money or security devices.
