Definitions

  • a color developer sheet for pressure sensitive recording paper comprising a color developer layer containing a metallic compound of a phenol compound, said phenol compound pKa below 8.
  • the present invention relates to a color developer sheet for pressure sensitive recording paper. More particularly, the present invention relates to a color developer sheet for pressure sensitive recording paper using a metallic phenol compound which is a metal phenolate and which has not hitherto been used as a color developer.
  • Pressure sensitive recording papers utilize the reaction of a colorless organic compound (hereinafter referred to as a color former) and a color developing material (hereinafter referred to as a color developer) capable of reacting with the above color former to form a colored product.
  • a color former a colorless organic compound
  • a color developing material hereinafter referred to as a color developer
  • pressure sensitive recording papers are composed of a sheet (color former sheet) having coated thereon microcapsules containing a solution of color former in an organic solvent and a sheet (color developer sheet) having coated thereon a color developer with a binder, and may include a sheet having coated on one side a color developer and on the other side the microcapsules (such assemblies are hereinafter referred to as pressure sensitive duplicating papers). Sheets are also formed having microcapsules and the color developer on the same side of the support (called single recording paper).

  • clays such as acidic clay and active clay are usually employed.
  • color developer clays have a higher color developing ability than that of other color developers (p-cresol, p-phenylphenol and the like), the color developing ability thereof is lowered when it is exposed to sun-light.
  • the colored body on the color developer sheet has the defect that when wet with water the color disappears or is lowered in concentration.
  • the color developer sheets using the above described phenol compounds cannot be used as a practical matter since although they have good water proofness as a colored body on the sheet, they are low in color developing ability, which is most important and also is poor in light resistance of the colored body 011 the sheet.
  • the present inventors have found that by using a metallic phenol compound as a color developer a color developer sheet which is high in color developing ability, good in water resistance as a colored body and exhibits less lowering of activity can be obtained.
  • the object of the present invention is thus to provide a color developer sheet for pressure sensitive duplicating papers which meets the above criteria and does not have the substantial defects of the prior art color developer.
  • the metallic compound of phenol used in the present invention is obtained by reacting an alkali metal salt of a phenol compound and a water soluble metallic salt in a solvent.

  • the reaction can be attained by adding an aqueous solution of a water-soluble metal compound to an aqueous solution of alkali metal salt of phenol compound.
  • the addition of the compounds may be carried out in reverse order, of course. 7
  • reaction condition such as temperature or pressure are of no importance, and the reaction proceeds at normal condition.
  • an alkali salt of phenol or its aqueous solution is by reacting the base phenol compound with an alkali metal, a hydroxide or carbonate of the alkali metal in an amount of one gram equivalent or more of the above hydroxide or carbonate per one gram mole of the alkali salt of phenol.
  • Other methods may, of course, be used, but the above method is very simple.

  • the present inventors have tried to synthesize a metallic phenol compound from a phenol compound above 8 in pKa.
  • a phenol compound of above 8 in pKa does not make a metallic compound as shown by the infra-red absorption curves and the color developing ability of the product. These are not different from those of the phenol monomer compound itself.

  • the upper limit of the coating amount is primarily determined by reasons of economy and coating workability.
  • the binder is not necessarily used (that is, the metallic phenol compound is dissolved for use as an ink), but if it is used, the amount thereof is preferably from about 5 to about 50 parts by weight, preferably parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the metallic phenol compound.

  • the colored material on the color developer sheet of the present invention is not lowered in concentration even if wet with water.
  • sufficient color developing ability and other properties necessary for a color developer sheet for pressure sensitive recording paper are satisfied with a smaller amount of coating than in conventional clay paper. That is, conventional clay paper requires a coating amount of 7 to 10 g./m. while the color developer of the present invention is suffi cient at a coating amount of 0.2-5 g./m.
  • a small amount of coating is sufiicient and the physical properties of the coating liquid can be freely varied in a manner impossible with clay coatings.
  • the same color developing ability can be obtained with smaller amount of coating.
  • a color developer sheet using a metallic phenol compound is remarkably higher in color developing ability and in light fastness of the colored material formed up on the color developer sheet, as compared to a color developer sheet using a phenol compound per se as a color developer.
