Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a heat-copying process in which a layer of a hat-sensitive natural, modified natural or synthetic resin is exposed to a heat image and then developed by treatment with a developer.
  • the developed image may be fixed if desired.
  • Copies have been prepared by the image-wise action of heat on a material which, when heated, becomes discolored as a result of chemical reaction. Copies hitherto obtained in this way have the disadvantage that they discolor completely when unintentionally heated and thus become unusable. Moreover, they are not permanent when exposed to light, hence, such copies are unsuitable for use as documents. ln another known heat-copying process, a colored Wax is transferred by image-wise heat action to a copy support. The copies obtained by this process, however, lack adequate definition.
  • the present invention provides a heat copying process which comprises effecting image-wise exposure to radiant heat of a surface Vconsisting of a heat-sensitive natural or synthetic resin, or a heat-sensitive modified natural resin, and thereafter developing the latent heat image formed on the surface, to render it visible, by treatment with a colorless or colored powder, followed by xing of the developed image, where necessary.
  • FGURE 2 shows an arrangement of a master and a heat-sensitive resin layer as employed in the reflex copying process
  • FIGURES 3 and 4 show a powder image formed on the heat-sensitive resin layer after removing the master and contacting the heat-sensitive resin layer with powder.
  • the synthetic resins suitable for use in the process according to the invention normally have a softening temperature between 40 an-d 180 C., but, in some special cases, synthetic resins having a softening temperature below or above these limits are suitable.
  • the syntheic resin may be a polyamide, eg. a polymer of an w-aminocarboxylic acid or a lactam thereof or condensatioa product or mixed condensation product of a diamine and a dicarboxylic acid. Very favorable results are obtained with polycaprolactam and with a condensation product of adipic acid and hexamethylene diamine. Polyamides containing substituents, particularly allroxymethyl groups, attached to the carbonamide nitrogen atoms are particularly suitable. The substituent alkoxymethyl groups may be introduced into the polyamides by heating a solution of the polyamide in formic acid or acetic acid with formaldehyde and the appropriate alcohol, eg. methanol, ethanol or propanol.

  • polyamides which are fairly highly substituted. Those in which about 30 to 60% of the hydrogen atoms on the carbonamide nitrogen atoms are replaced by alkoxymethyl groups are particularly suitable. Polyamides with greater or lesser substitution can be used, but with polyamides with less substitution the time required for exposure increases.
  • the synthetic resin may be another thermoplastic resin, e.g. a polyvinyl compound such as polyvinyl chloride, chlorinated polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl acetate, polystyrene and modified polystyrene, a polyole'fin, preferably polyethylene or polypropylene, an interpolymer or polymer mixture derived from these substances, a polyester, e.g. polyterephthalic acid ester or an interpolymer of terephthalic acid and isophthalic acid with ethylene glycol, a polyacrylic compound such as polyacrylic acid ester or a polyhalogenated hydrocarbon, such as a diphenyl chloride resin.
  • the resin has a softening point (Krmer-Sarnow-Nagel) of 6ft-70 C., a color number of 1 2 and an acid number of 0'.
  • Natural resins suitable for the process according to the invention are, primarily, shellac and colophony. Very favorable results are also obtained with modified natural resins, i.e conversion or refinement products, e.g. hydrogenated resins such as dihydroand tetra-hydroabietic acid, zinc resins, e.g. the product commercially available as Erkazit-Hartharz (melting point: 15S-130 C.) and polymerized resins, e.g. the product commercially available as Polypale Resin (melting point: 9S-106 C.).
  • modified natural resins i.e conversion or refinement products, e.g. hydrogenated resins such as dihydroand tetra-hydroabietic acid, zinc resins, e.g. the product commercially available as Erkazit-Hartharz (melting point: 15S-130 C.) and polymerized resins, e.g. the product commercially available as Polypale Resin (melting point: 9S-106

  • the compounds specified can be used in the form of self-supporting foils or in the form of a thin coating applied to one or to both sides of a support.
  • a wide range of materials can be used for the support, which is preferably in the form of a flat sheet or foil. Paper, cellulose hydrate, plastic or metal foils, for example, are very suitable. Rigid supports made of glass or pottery are, however, also suitable.
  • the copying material is exposed to radiant heat.
  • This can be done by the contact method, .as illustrated in FIGURE l of the drawings, when the master has text on one side only, in which case the infra-red radiation from a radiant heat source 4 pass through the master l, having the printed matter 2 thereon, to the heat-sensitive resin layer 3 in which the heated areas 6l are formed or by the reflex method in the case of a master having text on both sides, as shown in FIGURE 2 of the accompanying drawings, in which case infra-red radiation 5 from the radiant source 4 passes through the copying material, i.e., the heat-sensitive resin layer 3a which is placed between the radiant .source 4 and a master lla for reflex copying, which has the printed matter 2 thereon, with the result that the "heated areas 6 are formed in the heat-sensitive resin layer 3a.
  • FIGURES 3 and 4 show the powdered image areas 7 formed on the heat-sensitive resin layer 3 used in the contact copying process and on the resin layer 3a used in the reex copying process after removing the master in each case and'contacting the heat-sensitive resin layers with developer powder.
  • the master and the c-opying material shouldv be in the closest possible contact and the exposure to heat should be as brief and intensive as possible.
  • the thickness of the resin coating applied to the support is generally between about l and 50p, preferably between about 3 and 10u.
  • Commercially available infra-red radiators e.g. of from 1000 to 2000V watts, or an infra-red flash may be used as the source of heat.
  • the process can be performed in a machine in which the copying material passes, in close contact with the original, over rollers at a speed of several meters a minute through the focal point of a focused 1350-watt infra-red radiator.
  • the resin-coated side of the copying material is covered with a cellulose acetate lm having a thin silver coating, e.g. an exposed, developed and fixed photographic film, which is placed with the silver coating in contact with the heat-sensitive coating of the copying material, and the infra-red radiation is passed through the master and the cellulose acetate iilm.
  • the heat produced by the absorption of the infra-red rays in the master is prevented by the cellulose acetate film from passing to the heat-sensitive coating of the-copying material.
  • radiation which passes through the negative master is however absorbed by the silver coating.
  • a positive latent image is formed on the heat-sensitive coatlng.
  • Fine powders of vari-ous types are suitable for the development of the latent image and these Vpowders also may be colored; examples are powdered inorganic and organic dyestuis, metal powders, glass powders and synthetic resin powders, of a particle size in the range of 0.1V to 100g, preferably 1 to 20M.

The coating is dried with hot air at a temperature of to 100 C.
