強く求められてきた。[0006] Discoloration of colored images is particularly noticeable in color-forming type thermal recording materials, that is, dye-coloring type thermal recording materials that use dye precursors mainly consisting of colorless or light-colored lactone ring compounds. In particular, there has been a strong desire to resolve this common problem that occurs when it comes into contact with plasticizers and oils.

Alternatively, as seen in JP-A-58-199189, a water-soluble polymer compound or a hydrophobic polymer compound emulsion is provided as an intermediate layer on the heat-sensitive coloring layer, and a hydrophobic polymer compound is placed thereon as a resin component.

Plasticizer and oil resistance are also inadequate. Further, even for those in which an overcoat layer is provided on the heat-sensitive coloring layer, the storage stability under high temperature and high humidity cannot be said to be perfect. Furthermore, the heat-sensitive recording material coated with such an overcoat layer is cut,
Heat-sensitive recording materials manufactured by applying adhesive processing, etc., are susceptible to oil and other substances that penetrate through the cut surface and cause the printed area to fade.
The application of an overcoat layer had problems, such as that it could hardly be said to be an essential solution.

ある。[Function] The thermosensitive coloring layer of the thermosensitive recording material of the present invention is composed of a colorless or light-colored basic leuco dye (dye precursor), and a color developer that can develop this dye precursor and color under heating. A colored image is formed using a color reaction, and is characterized by containing at least one epoxy group-containing compound of the above general formula (I) in this heat-sensitive coloring layer. .

はない。[0013] The reason why such compounds as mentioned above improve shelf life is not fully clear. However, basic leuco dyes (dye precursors) and the above-mentioned epoxy group-containing compounds alone do not provide sufficient print density, and the storage stability of colored images is also insufficient. It has been found that by the presence of the color developer, sufficient color density can be obtained, and at the same time, the storage stability of the color image can be dramatically improved. Due to this fact, a colorless or light-colored basic leuco dye reacts with a color developer to form a color former with an open lactone ring, and the epoxy group of the epoxy group-containing compound is added to the carboxyl group of the dye thus formed. It is presumed that this addition creates a structure in which the dye cannot return to its original closed ring form, and that this dramatically improves the storage stability of colored dye images. However, the present inventors do not insist on such a mechanism for improving storage stability.

The degree of improvement in storage stability may not be sufficient. on the other hand,
If it is present in an amount greater than 1000% by weight, the color density may be lowered, but the storage stability will not be improved and this will be economically disadvantageous.
