【表】DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a heat-sensitive recording material, and in particular provides a heat-sensitive recording material that has good visual appearance, has less background fog and head abrasion, and has less fading of recorded images. Thermal recording materials are made of leuco coloring agents such as triphenylmethane, fluoran, phenothiazine, auramine, and spiropyran, clay acids (activated clay, etc.), phenolic compounds, polyvalent metal salts of aromatic carboxylic acids, etc. Utilizing color reactivity with color developer,
It is constructed to produce a colored image by causing a contact reaction between the two substances using heat from the recording head.In recent years, it has been widely used as recording paper for facsimile paper, printer paper, electrocardiograms, etc., and its usage is increasing rapidly. There is something. With the expansion of uses, color tone has become an important factor in the quality of paper, and its requirements are becoming more diverse. In other words, the color tone of general heat-sensitive recording materials is mostly white, but for special purposes, there are materials with excellent visual appearance, such as white materials that look whiter, and colored thermosensitive recording materials. There are also demands. A common way to meet such demands is, for example, by adding whitening dyes or coloring dyes to the base paper or the recording layer. However, in order to incorporate dye into base paper, the usual method is to add dye to pulp before paper making and then paper making. However, with this method, a considerable amount of dye flows out together with white water during paper making. Therefore, this method cannot necessarily be said to be good in terms of dye yield and economic efficiency. On the other hand, the method of incorporating the dye into the heat-sensitive recording layer may accelerate the wear of the recording head depending on the type of dye, although the exact cause is unknown.
It has been found that in an atmosphere of high temperature or high humidity, it promotes naturally colored stains on the recording surface, that is, background fog, or economically fades the recorded image, and that this is also a good method. I can't say that.
Therefore, the present inventors conducted studies to develop a heat-sensitive recording material that does not cause the above-mentioned negative effects no matter what kind of whitening dyes and coloring dyes are used, and has a good visual appearance. The desired thermosensitive recording material could be obtained with the following configuration. That is, the present invention is characterized in that an undercoat layer containing a whitening dye and/or a colored dye is provided on the surface of the support, and a recording layer containing a color-forming substance and a color-developing substance as main components is provided thereon. It is. In the above configuration, commonly existing dyes can be used as the dye to be contained in the undercoat layer of the support.
For example, fluorescent whitening dyes such as stilbene type, acylamino, ureido type, triazole type, and imidazole type can be used as whitening dyes. Of course, it is not limited to these. In addition, as colored dyes, C, which is a direct dye,
I, Direct Red1, C, I, Direct Violet1,
C, I, Direct Blue1, C, I, Acid Red1,
Examples include C, I, Acid Violet7, C, I, Acid Biue1, and the like. Of course, it is not limited to these. Basic dyes include C, I, Basic Red1,
C, I, Basic Violet1, C, I, Basic Blue1
etc. Of course, it is not limited to these. In the present invention, if the amount of these dyes contained in the undercoat layer is too small, it will not be effective, and if it is too large, the fluorescence will become too strong or the dye will be too colored, making it difficult to use as a thermosensitive recording material. This will result in a loss of quality. Therefore, the degree to which the visual appearance of the heat-sensitive recording medium is to be improved and the type of dye used must be appropriately determined while taking into consideration the balance. Therefore, although it cannot be determined quantitatively, from the viewpoint of effectiveness, an appropriate amount should be selected within the range of 0.1 to 10% based on the oil-absorbing application material. Next, when whitening dyes and/or colored dyes are contained in the undercoat layer of the recording layer, it is desirable that the undercoat layer is a layer mainly composed of pigments with high oil absorption in order to simultaneously improve the adhesion of residue. . The pigment for this purpose preferably has an oil absorption amount (based on JIS K5101) of 50 ml/100 g or more. The oil absorption amount of the pigment varies depending on factors such as particle shape and particle size, but examples include diatomaceous earth, calcined diatomaceous earth, flux calcined diatomaceous earth, fine particulate anhydrous aluminum oxide, fine particulate titanium oxide, magnesium carbonate,
Particulate anhydrous silica, magnesium aluminosilicate, etc. are suitable. Other pigments that have been physically or chemically treated to maintain an oil absorption of 50 ml/100 g or more are of course eligible. Incidentally, if the oil absorption amount is less than 50 ml/100 g, the desired effect of improving dregs adhesion cannot be obtained, and conversely, the greater the oil absorption amount, the greater the effect of improving dregs adhesion. These oil-absorbing pigments are mixed with a binder, the above-mentioned dyes, etc. as a coating liquid, and are applied to the base paper as an undercoat layer in an amount of about 3 g/m 2 to 10 g/m 2 . The heat-sensitive recording layer is formed by coating on the undercoat layer containing the dye, and the heat-sensitive recording material having the structure of the present invention obtained in this way has the following properties:
It has the desired excellent visual appearance, and is characterized by low background fog, low discoloration of recorded images, and good storage stability.Furthermore, if a pigment with high oil absorption is used as the main component of the undercoat layer, At the same time, an improvement in debris adhesion can be obtained. It goes without saying that known color formers, color developers, adhesives, and the like constituting the overcoat layer can be used as they are. Examples are shown below. In addition, in the example,
