Definitions

  • the invention relates to a heat-sensitive recording material (thermal paper) with a flat support (thermal raw paper), a thermal reaction layer on at least one side of the flat support and optionally an intermediate layer (thermal insulation layer) formed between the flat support and the respective thermal reaction layer and optionally with further layers.
  • the invention also relates to a method for producing such a heat-sensitive recording material and to the use thereof.
  • Heat-sensitive recording materials of the type described above are for example from the US-A-6,759,366 and the WO 2008/006474 A1 known.
  • the US-A-6,759,366 describes a heat-sensitive recording material which has a thermal reaction layer on the top and bottom of a carrier substrate.
  • the carrier substrate is preferably based on cellulose and is thermally insulating. This ensures that the heat pulse generated during thermal printing is largely available for the development of the thermal reaction layer.
  • a so-called primer layer is preferably located between the carrier substrate and the thermal reaction layer formed by which a better adhesion of the layers and the thermal insulation necessary for thermal printing is achieved.
  • the WO 2008/006474 A1 also discloses a heat-sensitive recording material with a flat support, a thermal reaction layer on at least one side of the flat support and an intermediate layer formed between the flat support and the respective thermal reaction layer, which contains hollow-sphere pigments embedded in a binder, and optionally with further layers and / or Top layers, the hollow-sphere pigments being in the form of a composite pigment, and wherein nanoscale pigment particles adhere to the surface of an organic hollow-sphere pigment.
  • That from the WO 2008/006474 A1 known recording material shows in particular improved insulating properties.
  • a material is applied as an intermediate layer which contains the pigments mentioned in a suitable binder.
  • the binder is used in particular to connect the intermediate layers as well as possible to the flat carrier and to ensure an optimal connection of the subsequent layers. Synthetic and / or natural polymers are used as binders.
  • the DE 11 2007 002 203 T5 describes a thermal recording material comprising an intermediate layer and a thermal recording layer laminated on a support in that order, the intermediate layer being a layer formed by applying a coating liquid having a swellable starch and a pigment in a dispersed state in one Dispersing medium consisting of water as the main component is obtained, and the intermediate layer contains a heat-insulating organic pigment which is in the form of hollow or cup-shaped particles.
  • Binders are of great importance in heat-sensitive recording materials. They are used to fix pigments and other components such as color formers, co-reactants, sensitizers and lubricants as well as other additives. Binders also favor the connection of the different layers to one another. Starches are usually used as binders, Polyvinyl alcohol or synthetic binders, such as styrene / butadiene latices and stryol / acrylate latices, are used. Binding agents can be applied in pure form directly on one or two sides to the base paper as surface sizing or can be introduced into the paper in the so-called sump mode over the paper surface (impregnation).
  • the known heat-sensitive recording materials have various disadvantages, for example in terms of aging resistance, in particular when using synthetic binders. These adverse effects are particularly noticeable at elevated temperatures and high ambient humidity. Furthermore, the placement behavior of the known heat-sensitive recording materials can be critical, especially when using org. Hollow ball pigments in the thermal insulation coating. Finally, the synthetic binders commonly used in known heat-sensitive recording materials are expensive and have ecological disadvantages.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a heat-sensitive recording material which overcomes the disadvantages of the known heat-sensitive recording materials.
  • heat-sensitive recording materials are to be provided which have improved properties with regard to the aging resistance and the laying behavior.
  • the cross-linked biopolymer material in the form of nanoparticles has a degree of swelling of less than 1.
  • the degree of swelling was as in the DE 11 2007 002 203 T5 as described:
  • the degree of swelling relates to a volume expansion when the crosslinked biopolymer material swells in water in the form of nanoparticles.
  • a sample of an anhydrous amount of 2 g is added to 200 ml of pure water, dispersed therein and immediately thereafter it is heated in a good-boiling water bath for 30 minutes and cooled to room temperature.
  • the part of the water that has evaporated is added and the sample is redispersed and 100 ml of the dispersion are placed exactly in a measuring cylinder.
  • the measuring cylinder is left for 24 hours at room temperature and a precipitate is measured visually for its amount (ml) and this value is taken as the degree of swelling.
  • the flat carrier is not critical. However, it is preferred that the flat carrier is based on cellulose fibers, a synthetic paper carrier, the fibers of which, in particular, consist wholly or partly of plastic fibers, or a plastic film.
  • the flat carrier is preferably used with a weight per unit area of approximately 20 to 600 g / m 2 , in particular approximately 30 to 300 g / m 2 .
  • thermal reaction layer There are also no special requirements for the choice of materials for the thermal reaction layer (s). Possible materials are color formers, color developers, other binders, pigments, melting aids, anti-aging agents and other additives, etc.

  • the usual intermediate layer (s) can also be used as the intermediate layer (s).
  • the intermediate layer increases the image quality, prevents heat conduction into the base paper and supports the function and sensitivity properties of the thermal reaction layer. In particular, it also contributes to a sufficient fixation of the fusible components in the writing process and thus ensures good runnability in the thermal printer.
  • Suitable materials of the intermediate layer (s) are those which allow the thermal reaction layer to adhere to the flat support or which serve to protect or isolate the thermal reaction layer.

  • the image stability was determined weekly.
  • a typeface was generated on a thermal printer and its optical density was determined before aging. Afterwards the material was aged freely hanging in different climates over a certain period of time. climates were dry heat (50 ° C) and damp heat (40 ° C / 80% rh) over a period of 1, 2, 4, 6 and 9 weeks. After aging, the remaining optical density was measured and the drop in image stability was determined in%: (OD after / OD before -1) ⁇ 100. Furthermore, the background whiteness of the respective paper samples after aging was determined. The white measurement was carried out from the top using an Elrepho 3000 reflection photometer (from Datacolor). The degree of whiteness was determined with filter R 457 (ISO 2470) without UV filter.

  • the results show a more stable aging behavior of the heat-sensitive recording material when using formulation 2 in comparison to a heat-sensitive recording material when using formulation 1.
  • the increased stability of the background can be seen particularly when the storage time is longer. This trend is particularly evident under warm, humid climatic conditions.
  • the heat-sensitive recording material with recipe 2 showed significantly better deposition behavior than the heat-sensitive recording material with recipe 1.
  • a conventional thermal paper with its thermal reaction layer was brought into contact with a pure binder layer, which was applied to a base paper (counter paper).
  • the reference paper was a standard POS paper (available from the August Koehler SE paper mill).
  • the binder to be examined was provided as a solution or as a dispersion.
  • the binder solution or dispersion was applied to a Thermal raw paper applied with a squeegee and dried.
  • the application weight was in the range of 2 to 3 g / m 2 (dry).
  • the paper was then stored at 35 ° C / 75% RH between plexiglass plates at a defined pressure of 7kg.
