The present invention relates to a heat-sensitive recording material, and more particularly to a heat-sensitive recording material in which the stability of a colored image against plasticizers is improved. It has been known for a long time that a color-forming substance such as crystal violet lactone reacts with a phenolic substance to form a color, and it is also possible to thermally develop a color using these substances, as described in US Pat. No. 3,539,375. It is publicly known. However, colored images obtained by thermal reaction between color-forming substances and phenolic substances or organic acids are
Generally, it is extremely unstable to changes in light, temperature, and humidity. In addition, various plasticizers used in rubber, plastics, etc., such as dioctyl phthalate, dibutyl phthalate, dihexyl phthalate,
Butylbenzyl phthalate, tricresyl phosphate,
It is also unstable to dioctyl adipate, etc., and has the major drawback that if the colored image comes into contact with rubber, plastic, etc. to which these plasticizers have been added, the image will disappear or change color. are doing. Improving the stability of colored images against changes in light, temperature, and humidity is of course important, and therefore there are still problems to be solved at least simultaneously or independently. This invention relates to improving the stability of colored images against plasticizers (hereinafter referred to as plasticizer resistance). In recent years, heat-sensitive recording materials have been increasing as recording media used at the input/output end of information equipment such as facsimiles, computers, and telex, as well as input/output recording media used in transportation-related fields such as railway station labor equipment. Opportunities for these heat-sensitive recording materials to directly or indirectly come into contact with plastic sheets, commuter pass holders, etc. containing various plasticizers are increasing. Therefore, there was an urgent need to improve the reliability of heat-sensitive recording materials as recording media when they are colored, used for long periods of time, and brought into contact with plasticizers. Efforts have been made to improve these required performances, but the current situation is that nothing with satisfactory performance has yet been obtained. As a result of various studies conducted by the present inventors in order to improve this drawback, the plasticizer resistance of the colored portion is significantly improved by containing at least one of the compounds represented by the following general formula as a phenolic substance. They discovered this and came up with the present invention. general formula (In the formula, R 1 represents a hydrogen number or an alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, and n represents 0 to 5.) Exemplary compounds of the general formula used in the present invention include bis(P- hydroxyphenyl)acetic acid, 3,
3'bis(P-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid, 4,4'bis(P-hydroxyphenyl)butyric acid, 4,4'bis(P-hydroxyphenyl)n-
Examples include compounds such as valeric acid. The chemical structural formulas of these compounds are illustrated below. Bis(P-hydroxyphenyl)acetic acid 4,4'-bis(P-hydroxyphenyl) n-
Valeric acid The colorless to light-colored color-forming substance used in the present invention is a substance that develops color by reacting with a phenolic substance under heat, such as triphenylmethane,
triphenylmethane phthalide, fluoran,
Examples include various leuco compounds such as leuco auramine type and spiropyran type. The color-forming substance dispersed in the form of fine particles and the compound represented by the general formula are separated and fixed to each other by an adhesive so as not to develop color during storage as a heat-sensitive recording material. The adhesive used in the heat-sensitive recording medium of the present invention includes, for example, casein, gelatin, modified starch, carboxymethyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer and its alkali melt, polyacrylamide. , styrene-butadiene copolymers, polyvinyl acetate, and polyacrylic acid ester latexes. The heat-sensitive recording material of the present invention may contain other additives in the recording layer as necessary, such as various waxes and fatty acid amides to improve recording characteristics, various fatty acid metal salts to prevent staining, and white surface coating. White pigments, fillers,
Phenol substances such as waterproofing agents are added to improve water resistance. The heat-sensitive recording material of the present invention is produced as follows. A heat-sensitive composition is prepared by pulverizing and dispersing a color-forming substance, a compound represented by the general formula, a sensitivity regulator, and other additives in an aqueous medium containing an appropriate concentration of adhesive using a pulverizer such as a ball mill. obtain. It is advantageous in terms of color development efficiency to make each component material as fine as possible, and preferably to have a particle size of 1 to 3 microns. The heat-sensitive recording composition thus obtained is coated on a suitable support and dried to obtain the heat-sensitive recording material of the present invention. Examples of the support include papers such as wood-free paper, medium-quality paper, and coated paper, plastic films, film-laminated papers, and woven fabric sheets.
The heat-sensitive recording material of the present invention thus obtained exhibits excellent plasticizer resistance against various plasticizers, and the image does not fade or discolor even if the colored image is brought into contact with these plasticizers for a long period of time. Moreover, other properties such as ground cover are also good. Example 1 (a) Production of heat-sensitive recording composition The present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to examples.
PSD150) 5 parts by weight stearic acid amide 15 parts by weight clay 20 〃 Polyvinyl alcohol 10% aqueous solution 40 〃 Water 20 〃 B liquid bis(P-4' hydroxyphenyl) acetic acid
20 parts by weight Clay 20 〃 Polyvinyl alcohol 10% aqueous solution 40 〃 Water 20 〃 After separately dispersing liquids A and B in a centrifugal ball mill for 4 hours, liquids A and B were mixed to form a heat-sensitive recording composition (paint). It was adjusted. (b) Apply this heat-sensitive recording composition to 50 g/m 2 of general paper so that the coating amount after drying is 7 g/m 2 ,
A thermosensitive recording medium was obtained. (c) The thermosensitive recording paper was then examined for plasticizer resistance using the following procedure. First, a thermosensitive recording paper was colored using a static coloring tester (stamp type) at a pressure of 2 kg/cm 2 , a temperature of 130° C., and a time of 1 second. Next, as a plasticizer resistance test, a commercially available plastic eraser was placed on the colored area of the thermosensitive recording paper, and a 300 g weight was placed on the eraser and left for one day. Thereafter, the density of the colored area before and after the test was measured using a Macbeth reflection densitometer RD-514, and the results shown in the table were obtained. Example 2 The procedure was exactly the same as in Example 1 except that 4,4'bis(P-hydroxyphenyl)n-valeric acid was used instead of bis(P-hydroxyphenyl)acetic acid in Solution B of Example 1. A thermosensitive recording material was obtained, and a plasticizer resistance test was conducted. The results are shown in the table. Example 3 Instead of bis(P-hydroxyphenyl)acetic acid in Solution B of Example 1, 10 parts by weight of 4,4'bis(P-hydroxyphenyl)n-valeric acid and 10 parts by weight of bisphenol A were added. Example 1 except that
A thermosensitive recording material was obtained in exactly the same manner as above, and a plasticizer resistance test was conducted. The results are shown in the table. Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 2 Comparative example 1 using bisphenol A instead of bis(P-hydroxyphenyl)acetic acid in liquid B of Example 1, and comparing using benzyl P-hydroxybenzoate As Example 2, a thermosensitive recording material was obtained in exactly the same manner as in Example 1, and a plasticizer resistance test was conducted. The results are shown in the table.
