Als Kupplungskomponenten kommen alle in der Azochemie üblichen und aus der einschlägigen Literatur bekannten Kupplungskomponenten in Frage, sofern sie keine sauren, wasserlöslich machenden Gruppen wie z.B. Carboxyl- und Sulfonsäuregruppen enthalten.Suitable coupling components are all coupling components customary in azochemistry and known from the relevant literature, provided they do not contain any acidic, water-solubilizing groups such as e.g. Contain carboxyl and sulfonic acid groups.

Aus der Vielzahl der Möglichkeiten seien beispielsweise erwähnt:
Kupplungskomponenten der Benzolreihe, der Naphthalinreihe, der offenkettigen methylenaktiven Verbindungen sowie der heterocyclischen Reihe.
From the multitude of possibilities, for example:
Coupling components of the benzene series, the naphthalene series, the open-chain methylene-active compounds and the heterocyclic series.

Beispiele für die genannten Kupplungskomponenten sind Acylacetarylamide, Phenole, Aniline, Naphthylamine, Diphenylamine, Naphthole, Naphtholcarbonsäureanilide, Aminopyrazole, Pyrazolone, Thiophene, Aminothiazole, Hydroxypyridine, Pyridone, Indole, Chinolone, Barbitursäuren oder Hydroxychinoline.Examples of the coupling components mentioned are acylacetarylamides, phenols, anilines, naphthylamines, diphenylamines, naphthols, naphtholcarboxylic acid anilides, aminopyrazoles, pyrazolones, thiophenes, aminothiazoles, hydroxypyridines, pyridones, indoles, quinolones, barbituric acids or hydroxyquinolines.

Besonders bevorzugte Kupplungskomponenten sind Naphthole, Naphtholcarbonsäureanilide und Acylacetarylamide, wie z.B. 2-Hydroxy-3-N-phenylcarbamoyl-naphthalin und Acetylacet-2-methoxy-anilid.Particularly preferred coupling components are naphthols, naphthol carboxylic acid anilides and acylacetarylamides, e.g. 2-hydroxy-3-N-phenylcarbamoyl-naphthalene and acetylacet-2-methoxy-anilide.

Die Mengenverhältnisse, in denen die cyclischen Diazokomponenten und die Kupplungskomponenten verwendet werden, sind nicht kritisch, jedoch verwendet man vorzugsweise die cyclischen Diazokomponenten und die Kupplungskomponenten in äquimolaren Mengen.The proportions in which the cyclic diazo components and the coupling components are used are not critical, but the cyclic diazo components and the coupling components are preferably used in equimolar amounts.

Sowohl die cyclischen Diazokomponenten als auch die Kupplungskomponenten können für sich allein oder als Mischungen untereinander in dem wärmeempfindlichen Aufzeichnungsmaterial eingesetzt werden.Both the cyclic diazo components and the coupling components can be used alone or as mixtures with one another in the heat-sensitive recording material.

Der Farbton des bei der Verwendung von erfindungsgemässen wärmeempfindlichen Aufzeichnungsmaterialien erhaltenen Druckbildes, kann je nach der verwendeten Kupplungskomponente gelb, orange, rosa, rot oder violett sein und die Farbbilder sind scharf und klar.The color tone of the printed image obtained when using heat-sensitive recording materials according to the invention can be yellow, orange, pink, red or violet, depending on the coupling component used, and the color images are sharp and clear.

Die erfindungsgemässen wärmeempfindlichen Aufzeichnungsmaterialien werden beispielsweise zum Aufzeichnen von Informationen, z.B. in elektronischen Rechnern, Ferndruckern, Fernschreibern oder in Aufzeichnungsgeräten und Messinstrumenten, wie z.B. Elektrocardiographen, verwendet. Die Bilderzeugung (Markierung) kann auch manuell mit einer erhitzten Feder erfolgen. Eine weitere Einrichtung zur Erzeugung von Markierungen mittels Wärme sind Laserstrahlen.The heat-sensitive recording materials according to the invention are used, for example, for recording information, for example in electronic computers, remote printers, teleprinters or in recording devices and measuring instruments, such as, for example, electrocardiographs. The imaging (marking) can also be done manually with a heated spring. Another device for generating markings using heat is laser beams.

Die wärmeempfindlichen Aufzeichnungssysteme enthalten mindestens einen Schichtträger, wie z.B. Papier, synthetisches Papier oder eine Kunstfolie und eine oder mehrere darauf ausgebildete temperaturempfindliche Schichten, welche die cyclische Diazokomponente und die Kupplungskomponente enthalten.The heat-sensitive recording systems contain at least one support, e.g. Paper, synthetic paper or an art film and one or more temperature sensitive layers formed thereon which contain the cyclic diazo component and the coupling component.

Vorzugsweise werden zur Herstellung des thermoreaktiven Aufzeichnungsmaterials schmelzbare, filmbildende Bindemittel verwendet. Diese Bindemittel sind normalerweise wasserlöslich, während die Diazokomponente und die Kupplungskomponente in Wasser unlöslich sind. Das Bindemittel sollte in der Lage sein, die Diazo- und Kupplungskomponenten bei Raumtemperatur zu dispergieren und zu fixieren.Fusible, film-forming binders are preferably used to produce the thermoreactive recording material. These binders are normally water soluble, while the diazo component and the coupling component are insoluble in water. The binder should be able to disperse and fix the diazo and coupling components at room temperature.

Bei Einwirkung von Wärme erweicht oder schmilzt das Bindemittel, so dass die Diazokomponente mit der Kupplungskomponente in Kontakt kommt und sich durch Kupplung eine Farbe bildet. Wasserlösliche oder mindestens in Wasser quellbare Bindemittel sind z.B. hydrophile Polymerisate, wie Polyvinylalkohol, Polyacrylsäure, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Methylcellulose, Carboxymethylcellulose, Polyacrylamid, Polyvinylpyrrolidon, carboxylierte Butadien-Styrolcopolymerisate, Gelatine, Stärke oder veretherte Maisstärke.When exposed to heat, the binder softens or melts, so that the diazo component comes into contact with the coupling component and a color forms as a result of the coupling. Water-soluble or at least water-swellable binders are e.g. hydrophilic polymers, such as polyvinyl alcohol, polyacrylic acid, hydroxyethyl cellulose, methyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, polyacrylamide, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, carboxylated butadiene-styrene copolymers, gelatin, starch or etherified corn starch.

Wenn die Diazokomponente und die Kupplungskomponente in zwei getrennten Schichten vorliegen, können in Wasser unlösliche Bindemittel, d.h. in nichtpolaren oder nur schwach polaren Lösungsmitteln lösliche Bindemittel, wie z.B. Naturkautschuk, synthetischer Kautschuk, chlorierter Kautschuk, Alkydharze, Polystyrol, Styrol/Butadien-Mischpolymerisate, Polymethylacrylate, Ethylcellulose, Nitrocellulose und Polyvinylcarbazol verwendet werden. Die bevorzugte Anordnung ist jedoch diejenige, bei der die Diazokomponente und die Kupplungskomponente in einer Schicht in einem wasserlöslichen Bindemittel enthalten sind.If the diazo component and the coupling component are in two separate layers, water-insoluble binders, i.e. binders soluble in non-polar or only weakly polar solvents, e.g. Natural rubber, synthetic rubber, chlorinated rubber, alkyd resins, polystyrene, styrene / butadiene copolymers, polymethylacrylates, ethyl cellulose, nitrocellulose and polyvinyl carbazole can be used. However, the preferred arrangement is one in which the diazo component and the coupling component are contained in one layer in a water-soluble binder.

Die thermoreaktiven Schichten können weitere Zusätze enthalten. Zur Verbesserung des Weissgrades, zur Erleichterung des Bedruckens der Papiere und zur Verhinderung des Festklebens der erhitzten Feder können diese Schichten, z.B. Talk, Titandioxyd, Zinkoxyd, Aluminiumoxyd, Aluminiumhydroxyd, Calciumcarbonat (z.B. Kreide), Silica, Tone oder auch organische Pigmente, wie z.B. Harnstoff-Formaldehydpolymerisate enthalten. Um zu bewirken, dass nur innerhalb eines begrenzten Temperaturbereichs die Farbe gebildet wird, können Substanzen, wie Harnstoff, Thioharnstoff, Diphenylthioharnstoff, Acetamid, Acetanilid, Benzolsulfanilid, Stearinsäureamid, Phthalsäureanhydrid, Metallstearate, wie z.B. Zinkstearat, Phthalsäurenitril, Dimethylterephthalat oder andere entsprechende, schmelzbare Produkte, welche die Kupplung der cyclischen Diazokomponente mit der Kupplungskomponente induzieren, zugesetzt werden. Bevorzugt enthalten die thermographischen Aufzeichnungsmaterialien Wachse, z.B. Carnaubawachs, Montanwachs, Paraffinwachs, Polyethylenwachs, Kondensate höherer Fettsäureamide und Formaldehyde und Kondensate höherer Fettsäuren und Ethylendiamin. Gewünschtenfalls können die Aufzeichnungsmaterialien auch alkalische Materialien, wie z.B. Hydroxyde oder Carbonate von Alkalimetallen oder vorzugsweise offene oder cyclische organische Basen wie Amine, Alkanolamine, Guanidine, Pyridine oder Imidazolderivate enthalten.The thermoreactive layers can contain further additives. To improve the degree of whiteness, to facilitate printing on the papers and to prevent the heated spring from sticking, these layers, for example talc, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, aluminum oxide, Contain aluminum hydroxide, calcium carbonate (eg chalk), silica, clays or organic pigments such as urea-formaldehyde polymers. In order to ensure that the color is formed only within a limited temperature range, substances such as urea, thiourea, diphenylthiourea, acetamide, acetanilide, benzenesulfanilide, stearic acid amide, phthalic anhydride, metal stearates, such as zinc stearate, phthalic acid nitrile or other corresponding dimethyl terephthalate products which induce the coupling of the cyclic diazo component with the coupling component. The thermographic recording materials preferably contain waxes, for example carnauba wax, montan wax, paraffin wax, polyethylene wax, condensates of higher fatty acid amides and formaldehyde and condensates of higher fatty acids and ethylenediamine. If desired, the recording materials can also contain alkaline materials, such as hydroxides or carbonates of alkali metals, or preferably open or cyclic organic bases such as amines, alkanolamines, guanidines, pyridines or imidazole derivatives.
