The invention relates to a security pigment of core-shell particles with an organic or metalorganic feature substance, in particular luminescent feature substance, present in dissolved or finely distributed form in the core. The invention further relates to a method for producing the core-shell particles and value documents having the core-shell particles.

The invention relates to systems and techniques for manufacturing articles containing cellulosic material, a coupling agent, and a binder resin, and related processes of making and using the cellulosic articles. In particularly exemplary embodiments, the manufactured articles are door skins, sometimes known as door facings, and doors made from the door skins. The article contains a lipophilic cellulosic material, a coupling agent, and a binder. The coupling agent is believed to increase the hydrophilicity (wetability) of the lipophilic cellulosic material.
