Definitions

  • This invention relates to color-developer paper capable of developing a colored image on reactive contact with a substantially colorless organic chromogenic material and intended for use in pressure-sensitive copying.
  • Typical known materials as the color-developer for pressure-sensitive copying paper includes solid acids such as active clay, acid clay, attapulgite and the like.
  • color-developer paper using these clay-type color-developer materials often produces a colored image which is unstable particularly to light and moisture.
  • color-developer materials include novolak-type phenol-formaldehyde resins and salicylic acid derivatives and/or their multivalent metal salts. These salts per se possess a color-developing ability, and salicylic acid derivatives can also serve as the color-developer when combined with oxides, hydroxides or carbonates of certain multivalent metals as disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 52-20883.
  • Such color-developer materials have been found not quite satisfactory in respect of the intensity (density) of a developed image, and to improve the image intensity, it has been proposed to combine the said color-developer materials with polystyrene resin, xylene resin or the like as disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 55-1195. This proposal however has failed to contribute to the speed at which the imaging is performed.
  • Color-developer paper of which the color-developer material comprises an aromatic carboxylic acid or a polyvalent metal salt thereof in combination with an organic high molecular compound is disclosed in US-A-4046941. These color developers are incorporated in coating compositions together with a suitable binder, which may be a petroleum resin.
  • the present invention provides color-developer paper for use in pressure-sensitive copying and having a coating of (a) color-developer material and (b) a binder, wherein the color-developer material comprises a salicylic acid derivative and/or a multivalent metal salt thereof, finely dispersed in a resin, characterized in that the resin is a petroleum resin.
  • the coating may include, in addition to the color-developer material and the binder, additives such as clays and dispersants to improve the receptivity of the color former containing oil and the properties of the resulting liquid coating formulation.
  • the salicylic acid derivatives used in the color-developer material include those in which the benzene ring of the salicylic acid contains from 1 to 4 substituent groups, such as alkyl, cycloalkyl, aralkyl, aryl and halogen groups.
  • Such salicylic acid derivatives can all form salts with multivalent metals such as zinc, magnesium, aluminum, titanium, calcium, cobalt, nickel, manganese, tin and copper. Alternatively, it is possible to use such derivatives in their acid form in combination with metal compounds.
  • thermoplastic resin includes a thermoplastic resin having a molecular weight of 2,000 or less obtained by subjecting naphtha to pyrolysis, separating C 2 -C 4 olefins such as ethylene and propylene and then polymerizing the remaining C S -C 9 olefins as a mixture.
  • Examples of such petroleum resins include aliphatic hydrocarbon resins, alicyclic hydrocarbon resins, hydrogenated alicyclic hydrocarbon resins and aromatic hydrocarbon resins.
  • aliphatic hydrocarbon resins are represented by the structural formula: where n is a positive integer.
  • alicyclic hydrocarbon resins are represented by the structural formula: where n is a positive integer.
  • the above alicyclic hydrocarbon resins may be at least partially hydrogenated to provide hydrogenated alicyclic hydrocarbon resins.
  • aromatic hydrocarbon resins is "Toho High Resin” (trade name; product of Toho Petroleum Resin Co., Ltd.).
  • One such method comprises heating the petroleum resin to melt it, dissolving or dispersing therein the salicylic acid derivative (and/or its multivalent metal salt) and grinding the mixture upon cooling.
  • the petroleum resin may be dissolved, with heat if necessary, in an organic solvent, followed by the dissolving or dispersing of the salicylic acid derivative (and/or its multivalent metal salt), the resulting material being immediately available as a starting color-developer ink, or being comminuted after the solvent is stripped off.
  • the amount of salicylic acid derivative (and/or its multivalent metal salt) should be in the range of 10%-90% by weight of the petroleum resin.
  • the salicylic acid derivative and/or its multivalent metal salt is rendered substantially amorphous in the petroleum resin and because of this, it is easily soluble in and highly reactive with co- reactive color-formers.
  • the petroleum oil used in the invention is structurally different and a complex mixture of organic high molecular compounds, that provides surprisingly high imaging efficiency.
  • Marucarez R-100B (trade name for an aliphatic petroleum resin produced by Maruzen Petrochemical Co., Ltd.) were heated to melting at 150°C, to which 20 parts of zinc 3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylate were added. The resultant mixture was stirred thoroughly to disperse the salicylate in the melt. After cooling and solidifying, the mixture was ground in a mortar. The resultant powder was dispersed in 280 parts of a 1 % aqueous solution of polyvinyl alcohol. The dispersion was finely comminuted for 2 days in a ball mill.
  • the comminuted particles were mixed with 30 parts of calcium carbonate, 10 parts of a 5% aqueous solution of sodium pyrophosphate, 3.8 parts of 40% aqueous solution of sodium polyacrylate and 65 parts of 48% SBR latex, thereby providing a coating composition.
  • the coating composition was applied to a high-quality paper web of 40 g/m 2 to give a dry coat weight of 4 g/m 2 and dried at 105°C to obtain color-developer sheets.
  • Example 1 The procedures of Example 1 were followed except that Arucon P90 (trade name for a hydrogenated alicyclic petroleum resin produced by Arakawa Chemical Co., Ltd.) was used in lieu of the aliphatic petroleum resin of Example 1.
  • Arucon P90 trade name for a hydrogenated alicyclic petroleum resin produced by Arakawa Chemical Co., Ltd.
  • Example 1 The procedures of Example 1 were followed except that zinc 3-phenylsalicylate was used in place of zinc 3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylate of Example 1.
  • Example 1 The procedures of Example 1 were followed except that zinc 3-phenylsalicylate and Arucon P90 were used in place of zinc 3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylate and aliphatic petroleum resin, respectively.
  • Example 1 The procedures of Example 1 were followed except that 18 parts of 3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylate and 6 parts of zinc oxide were used in place of 20 parts of zinc 3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylate.
  • Example 1 20 parts of zinc 3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylate were dispersed in 280 parts of a 1% aqueous solution of polyvinyl alcohol, followed by comminution for 2 days in a ball mill. 80 parts of calcium carbonate, 10 parts of 5% sodium pyrophosphate, 3.8 parts of 40% sodium polyacrylate and 65 parts of 48% SBR latex were added to make a coating composition. The procedures of Example 1 were followed in producing color-developer sheets.
  • Example 1 The procedures of Example 1 were followed except that Picolastic A-75 (trade name for polystyrene produced by Exxon Corporation) was used in place of aliphatic petroleum resin.
  • Picolastic A-75 trade name for polystyrene produced by Exxon Corporation
  • Example 1 The procedures of Example 1 were followed except that Nicanol S-100 (trade name for xylene resin produced by Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Co., Inc.) was used in place of aliphatic petroleum resin.
  • Nicanol S-100 trade name for xylene resin produced by Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Co., Inc.
  • Comparison Example 1 The procedures of Comparison Example 1 were followed except that zinc 3-phenylsalicylate was used in place of zinc 3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylate.
  • Example 3 The procedures of Example 3 were followed except that Picolastic A-75 was used in place of aliphatic petroleum resin.

  • Example 5 The procedures of Example 5 were followed except that Picolastic A-75 was used in place of aliphatic petroleum resin.
  • the coat weight of zinc 3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylate and of zinc 3-phenylsalicylate was 0.59 g/m 2
  • the coat weight of 3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylate was 0.52 g/m 2 .
  • Table 1 shows the intensities of colored images produced 1 minute and 24 hours respectively after passage through calender rolls at a nip pressure of 290 kg/cm 2 .
  • the abbreviations of color-developers stand for:
