(Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a color developing sheet for pressure-sensitive copying paper, and more specifically to a color developer sheet for pressure-sensitive copying paper that uses a novel metallized salicylic acid cocondensation resin as a color developer. This invention relates to a color developing sheet. (Prior Art) Pressure-sensitive copying paper is also called carbonless paper, and is a copying paper that develops color when subjected to mechanical or impact pressure, such as when writing or using a typewriter, and is capable of making multiple copies at the same time. There are those called , transfer type, and those called simple colored papers, and their coloring mechanism is based on a coloring reaction between an electron-donating colorless dye and an electron-accepting color developer. Taking a transfer type pressure-sensitive copying paper as an example, this will be explained as shown in FIG. 1 as follows. On the back side of the top paper 1 and the middle paper 2, microcapsules 4 with a diameter of several microns to more than ten microns are applied, which are made by dissolving a colorless pressure-sensitive dye in non-volatile oil and wrapping it in a polymer film such as gelatin. has been done. The surfaces of the middle paper 2 and the bottom paper 3 are coated with a paint containing a color developer 5 which has the property of causing a reaction and color development when it comes into contact with the above-mentioned pressure-sensitive dye. To make copies, stack them in the order of top-(middle)-(middle)-bottom (the dye-containing coated side and the developer-containing coated side face each other), and apply local pressure such as pen pressure 6 or typing pressure. When pressure is applied, the capsule 4 in that area is ruptured and the pressure-sensitive dye solution is transferred to the developer 5, thereby obtaining a copy record. As electron-accepting color developers, (1) inorganic solid acids such as acid clay and attapulgide disclosed in USP 2712507, (2) substituted phenols and diphenols disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 1971-9309, (3) Tokko Akira
p-substituted phenol-formaldehyde polymer disclosed in No. 42-20144, (4) Japanese Patent Publication No. 49-10856
Aromatic carboxylic acid metal salts disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 52-1327 and the like have been proposed, and some of them have been put into practical use. The performance conditions that a color developer sheet should have include not only excellent coloring properties that remain unchanged immediately after sheet production and even after long-term storage, but also little yellowing during storage and exposure to sunlight and other radiation, and a color image that is robust and resistant to radiation. Examples include not easily disappearing or discoloring due to water or plasticizers. Conventionally proposed color developers and sheets coated with the same have advantages and disadvantages in terms of performance. For example, inorganic solid acids are inexpensive, but they adsorb gases and moisture in the air during storage, causing yellowing of the paper surface and a decrease in coloring performance, while substituted phenols have insufficient coloring properties and the density of colored images decreases. low. p-Phenylphenol-novolac resin, which is commonly used as a p-substituted phenol formaldehyde polymer, has excellent coloring properties, but the coated paper is exposed to sunlight or during storage (particularly when exposed to nitrogen oxides in the air). ), and the colored image fades significantly. Further, although aromatic carboxylic acid metal salts have good coloring properties, yellowing properties, and fading properties due to light, their resistance to water or plasticizers is still not sufficient. (Problems to be Solved by the Invention) An object of the present invention is to provide a color developer sheet for pressure-sensitive copying paper using a novel color developer that improves the above-mentioned drawbacks. (Means for Solving the Problems) The present inventors have made intensive studies to achieve the above object, and as a result, have completed the present invention. That is, the present invention is a color developer sheet for pressure-sensitive copying paper, characterized in that it contains a metallized co-condensed resin consisting of salicylic acid and α,α'-dialkoxy-p-xylene as a color developer. The color developing sheet using the novel color developer of the present invention has the same or better coloring properties than the color developing sheet using an inorganic solid acid or p-phenylphenol novolak resin, and The colored image is water,
It is a plasticizer and has resistance to fading easily due to light. Furthermore, yellowing caused by sunlight irradiation is improved, and in particular, resistance to yellowing caused by nitrogen oxides in the air is greatly improved, and it has the advantage of being able to provide a color developing sheet at a low cost that is extremely convenient for handling and storage. The salicylic acid cocondensation resin used in the present invention is a novel resin that has never been produced before. α, α′- which are essential components of the cocondensation resin of the present invention
Dialkoxy-p-xylene can be reacted with a phenolic compound to give the corresponding phenolic resin, which can be cured by further reaction with a basic compound such as hexamethylenetetramine.
It is used as a so-called thermosetting polymer composition (Japanese Patent Publication No. 47-15111). However, these thermosetting polymer compositions use carbolic acid, alkylphenols, phenylphenols, para-aminophenol, pyrogallol, and phloroglycinol as phenolic compounds, and those reacted with salicylic acid is completely unknown. This means that when a phenol compound and α,α'-dialkoxy-p-xylene are reacted under an acidic catalyst, alcohol is produced by the dealcoholization reaction.
Phenol compounds containing organic carboxylic acids, that is, salicylic acid, which is one of the components of the present invention, give salicylic acid esters and a mixture of these resins by reaction with alcohol generated under acidic catalyst, making it difficult to obtain the intended object. It is thought that this has not been considered yet because it is easily expected to be difficult. However, the present inventors surprisingly found that when salicylic acid and α,α′-dialkoxy-p-xylene are reacted at a reaction temperature of 110°C or higher in the presence of an acid catalyst, corresponding side effects such as esterification reaction occur. It has been found that the salicylic acid resin of the present invention can be obtained with almost no reaction occurring. In the present invention, when the reaction is carried out at a temperature of 110°C or higher, when the number of carbon atoms in the alkyl group is 5 or less in various α,α'-dialkoxy-p-xylene, the reaction is rapid and the esterification reaction is also prevented. This does not occur, and a good resin is easily obtained. Further, in a case where the number of carbon atoms is 4, that is, a butyl group, a tert-butyl group tends to react slowly. Therefore, α,α'-dialkoxy-p-xylene that provides the cocondensation resin used in the present invention is preferably α,α'-dimethoxy-p-xylene, α,α'-diethoxy-p- xylene, α,
α′-di-n-propoxy-p-xylene, α,
α'-isopropoxy-p-xylene, α,α'-di-n-butoxy-p-xylene, α,α'-di-
Examples include, but are not limited to, sec-butoxy-p-xylene and α,α'-diisobutyl-p-xylene. α in the production of the cocondensation resin used in the present invention,
The amount of α'-dialkoxy-p-xylene used is 0.1 to 1.0 molar ratio, preferably 0.3 to 0.8 molar ratio, per 1 mole of salicylic acid. Further, the reaction temperature needs to be 110°C or higher; if it is lower than 110°C, the reaction will be extremely slow and side reactions such as esterification reactions will increase. Further, in order to shorten the reaction time as much as possible, a temperature range of about 130 to 240°C is desirable. Reaction time is 1 to 20 hours. Suitable acid catalysts include inorganic or organic acids, in particular mineral acids, such as hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid,
Sulfuric acid or formic acid, or a Friedel-Crafts catalyst such as zinc chloride, stannic chloride, or ferric chloride, alone or in combination with an organic sulfonic acid such as methanesulfonic acid or p-toluenesulfonic acid. You may. The amount of catalyst used is about 0.01 to 5% by weight of the total weight of salicylic acid and alpha, alpha'-dialkoxy-p-xylene. A general method for producing the resin used in the present invention is to simultaneously add predetermined amounts of salicylic acid, α,α'-dialkoxy-p-xylene, and a catalyst, and then raise the temperature to react at a predetermined temperature. The alcohol produced as the reaction progresses is trapped outside the system. If necessary, trace amounts of alcohol remaining in the system are removed from the system using nitrogen. After the reaction is completed, the contents are discharged, cooled, and then pulverized to obtain the desired product. In addition, in order to obtain a resin with a relatively low molecular weight composition, α,α′-dialkoxy-p-
If the molar ratio of xylene used is reduced, unreacted salicylic acid remains, so methods for removing this include washing the resin with hot water or dissolving it in an organic solvent such as methyl isobutyl ketone or cyclohexanone and washing with hot water. is taken. Several known methods can be applied to produce the metallized product from the salicylic acid cocondensation resin thus produced. For example, it can be produced by reacting the alkali metal salt of the present resin with a water-soluble polyvalent metal salt in water or a solvent in which both are soluble. That is, by reacting an alkali metal hydroxide, carbonate, or alkoxide with the resin,
This is a method in which an alkali metal salt of a resin or an aqueous solution, alcohol solution, or water-alcohol mixed solution thereof is obtained, and then a water-soluble polyvalent metal salt is reacted. It is desirable to react about 0.5 to 1 gram equivalent of water-soluble polyvalent metal salt per mole of salicylic acid in the resin. Alternatively, it can be produced by mixing a resin with a polyvalent metal salt of an organic carboxylic acid such as formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, valeric acid, caproic acid, stearic acid or benzoic acid, and heating and melting the mixture. Optionally, further basic substances, such as ammonium carbonate,
Ammonium bicarbonate, ammonium acetate, and ammonium benzoate may be added and melted by heating. Furthermore, we use resins and polyvalent metal carbonates, oxides, and hydroxides, and combine basic substances such as ammonium formate, ammonium acetate, ammonium caproate, ammonium stearate, and ammonium organic carboxylates such as ammonium benzoate. Can be manufactured by heating and melting. When producing metallized resin by heating and melting,
The melting temperature is usually 100 to 180°C, and the reaction time is about 1 to several hours, depending on the resin composition, melting temperature, type of polyvalent metal salt, and amount used. Regarding the amount of polyvalent metal salt used, organic carboxylates, carbonates, oxides, and hydroxides of polyvalent metals should be selected so that the metal is present at 1% to about 20% by weight based on the total weight of the resin. It is desirable to use it. There is no particular restriction on the amount of the basic substance used, but it is usually used in an amount of 1 to 15% by weight based on the total weight of the resin. When using a basic substance, it is more preferable to mix it with a polyvalent metal salt beforehand. The metal of the metal compound of the salicylic acid cocondensation resin used in the present invention includes metals other than alkali metals such as lithium, sodium, and potassium. Preferred polyvalent metals include magnesium,
Examples include aluminum, copper, zinc, tin, barium, cobalt and nickel. Among these, zinc is particularly effective. The color developer used in the present invention may be used in combination with known color developers, such as inorganic solid acids such as activated clay, organic polymers such as phenol-formaldehyde resin, or metal salts of aromatic carboxylic acids. The color developer used in the present invention further includes at least one of oxides, hydroxides or carbonates of polyvalent metals selected from the group consisting of zinc, magnesium, aluminum, lead, titanium, calcium, cobalt, nickel, manganese and barium. One or more types may be used in combination. The method for preparing the color developing sheet for pressure-sensitive copying paper of the present invention includes (1) applying an aqueous paint using an aqueous suspension of a color developer to a support such as paper; (2) a method during paper making; Any method can be used, such as a method in which a color developer is strained, and (3) a method in which a solution or suspension of a color developer in an organic solvent is coated on a support. When creating paints, kaolin clay,
Calcium carbonate, starch, synthetic and natural latex, etc. are distributed to create a suitable clay and paint with coating suitability. The proportion of the color developer component in the paint is preferably 10 to 70% of the total solid content; if the proportion of the color developer component is less than 10%, sufficient color development cannot be achieved, and if it is more than 70%, The paper surface properties of the color developer sheet deteriorate. The coating amount of the paint is 0.5 g/m 2 or more, preferably 1 to 10 g/m 2 in terms of dry weight. In the color developing sheet for pressure-sensitive copying paper of the present invention,
The amount of color developer component and paint applied is small,
Furthermore, since the concentration, viscosity, etc. of the paint can be varied over a relatively wide range, both on-machine and off-machine coating are possible, which brings great advantages not only in terms of performance but also in the pressure-sensitive paper manufacturing process. (Action and Effect) The present invention combines salicylic acid and α,α′-dialkoxy-
A color developer sheet for pressure-sensitive paper containing a metallized product of a novel co-condensed resin consisting of p-xylene as a color developer is provided. The color developing sheet of the present invention does not cause yellowing due to light or gases such as nitrogen oxides in the air, has a stable color image against light and plasticizers, does not cause a decrease in color density, and is water resistant. Since it also has good properties, it has become possible to expand its use to applications for which conventional products were unsuitable due to the need for long-term storage stability, and its practical significance is extremely significant. (Example) Hereinafter, the method of the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to Examples. The performance of the pressure-sensitive copying paper developer sheet was measured as follows. 1 Color development rate and concentration (conducted in a constant temperature and humidity room at 20°C and 65% RH) (1) Crystal violet lactone (CVL)
Commercially available blue coloring paper (NW-40T, manufactured by Jujo Paper Industries) containing 3-diethylamino-6-methyl-7-phenylamino-fluoran (ODB) as the main pressure-sensitive dye Using black coloring paper (NW-40T, manufactured by Jujo Paper Industries), overlap a coloring sheet (bottom paper) coated with water-based paint with both coated sides facing each other, and press with an electronic typewriter to develop the color. The color is measured at two points, 1 minute and 30 seconds after stamping and 24 hours later, and displayed as a Y value. 2 Light fastness of color image The color developing sheet developed using method 1 was exposed to a carbon arc fade meter (manufactured by Suga Test Instruments) for 2 hours (and 4 hours), and the density after irradiation was measured at Σ-80.
It was expressed as a Y value using a color difference meter. The lower the Y value and the smaller the difference from the pre-test value, the less fading caused by light, which is preferable. 3 Plasticizer resistance We prepared melamine formaldehyde resin film microcapsules with an average particle size of 5.0μ with dioctyl phthalate (DOP) as the core material, added a small amount of starch binder, and dried the coating liquid on high-quality paper using an air knife coater. Prepare DOP microcapsule coated paper by coating and drying so that the coating amount is 5 g/ m2 .
After facing the DOP microcapsule coated paper and the coloring side of the color developing sheet developed in step 1, 100kg/
The DOP is passed through a super calendar roll with a linear pressure of cm to uniformly infiltrate the coloring surface. One hour after the test, the concentration was measured using a Σ-80 colorimeter
Display by value. The lower the Y value and the smaller the difference from the pre-test value, the better the plasticizer resistance of the colored image. 4 Water Resistance of Colored Image The color developing sheet colored by the method in 1 was immersed in water for 2 hours, and changes in the density of the colored image were observed with the naked eye. 5 Yellowing of developer sheet (5-1) Yellowing due to NOx JIS L-1055 [Based on the nitrogen oxide gas fastness test method for dyed products and dyes,
NaNO 2 (sodium nitrite) and H 3 PO 4 (phosphoric acid)

Display in WB value. The larger the WB value and the smaller the difference from the WB value of the untested sheet, the less yellowing in the NOx atmosphere. (5-2) Yellowing due to light The developer sheet was exposed to a carbon arc fade meter (manufactured by Suga Test Instruments) for 4 hours, and after the test Σ-
Displayed as WB value using 80 color difference meter. The larger the WB value and the smaller the difference from the WB value of the untested sheet, the smaller the yellowing caused by light irradiation.
