  • aromatic carboxylic acids and polyvalent metal salts thereof are superior in stability toward the sunlight to the phenolic resins.
  • Some of the aromatic carboxylic acids and polyvalent metal salts thereof have a sublimating property, and therefore a sheet sensitized by a coating containing such acceptors loses a color-formin g ability with the lapse of time. Since the said acceptors are relatively soluble in water and thus diffuse within the sheet by the action of high moisture or water, the color-forming ability is lost on the surface of the sheet.
  • Such disadvantages show an increasing tendency as the molecular weight of aromatic carboxylic acid is lowered. The reason why saliv thereof show improved resistance toward heat and moisture as the molecular weight increases and can maintain relatively stable color-forming properties at normal temperature and humidity.
  • the pressure sensitive recording papers leave room for further improvements of the properties to be required in practice. It is unavoidable that the recording papers are stored and handled under the condition of high humidity or water attaches directly to the sheet. For example, it often occurs that rainwater or water spilt from a glass attaches to the sheet. In some cases, when a letter or figure is printed by offset printing on the upper or underlying sheet of pressure sensitive recording papers, fountain solution on the blanket transfers onto an acceptor coated surface of the sheet.
  • a coating layer containing the acceptor must have a high humidity or water resistance sufficient to maintain stabilities of the color-forming ability and developed color image and to inhibit the smudge.
  • a coating composition containing aromatic carboxylic acids and polyvalent metal salts thereof because of being unstable toward heat in general, needs a careful watch and handling during storage or coating procedure.
  • the coating composition is subject to mechanical shear and accompanied by a rising temperature. Therefore, when a mechanical and thermal stability is insufficient, the coating composition cannot form a uniform layer on the surface of a base sheet and in the worst case it is unavoidable to discontinue the coating procedure. If the coating procedure is efi'ected by a coating apparatus mounted on a paper machine, it is the most simplified process and therefore advantageous economically. ln this case since the coating composition is coated on the base sheet preheated by a dryer, the mechanical and thermal stability requirements become more severe.
