DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a heat-sensitive recording material, and more particularly to a low-wear heat-sensitive recording material that is used in heat-sensitive facsimiles, heat-sensitive printers, etc., and has improved scum adhesion and hollowing out due to overheating.

It is already known that color-forming dye compounds, such as color-forming lactone compounds, which are generally colorless or light-colored, develop color when they come into contact with acidic substances such as inorganic acids, organic acids, or phenolic compounds. Also, heat-sensitive recording materials in which color-forming recording is obtained by bringing this color-forming dye compound into hot melt contact with an acidic substance are also well known.

Conventionally, this type of heat-sensitive recording material is produced by separately grinding an acidic substance and a color-forming dye compound into fine particles in a medium containing a binder, mixing them together, and coating the mixture on a support such as paper. The desired heat-sensitive recording material was obtained by drying, but since the particles of the acidic substance and the particles of the color-forming dye compound exist in a binder and are isolated from each other, they are heated. When one or both of them melt and come into contact with each other, a color develops.

On the other hand, a recording device such as a thermal facsimile or a thermal printer using a thermal recording material has a thermal printing head equipped with a heating resistor made of a thin film, a thick film, or a semiconductor, and a pulse current is supplied to the thermal printing head. The heat-sensitive recording material that is in contact with the printing head is heated and colored by the produced heat. For this reason, the thermal recording material generally runs in constant contact with the thermal printing head, so it is inevitable that many troubles will occur due to various interactions between the two. . In order to eliminate such troubles, thermal recording materials must be compatible with thermal printing heads: (1) they should not wear out the thermal printing heads, (2) they should not corrode the thermal printing heads, and (3) they should be compatible with thermal printing heads. It is desirable that the printing head has the following properties: (4) it does not adhere to the printing head; and (4) it does not show adhesion to the thermal printing head.

For example, when using a heat-sensitive recording material containing a sensitizer such as a fatty acid amide to improve color performance by lowering the melting temperature of the color-forming component and lowering the color-forming start temperature, this may come into contact with the thermal printing head. As a result, the molten components adhere as scum, which accumulates and causes poor contact with the print head, which not only reduces the quality of the colored image but also increases the stickiness of the molten components. If it is too large, a stag that cannot be fed may occur. To solve this problem, highly oil-absorbing inorganic pigments such as finely divided calcium carbonate and silicates, urea resin pigments, talc, activated clay, raw starch particles, and high-melting point waxes are blended to ensure contact with the thermal printing head. Although there have been attempts to improve the properties, it has not yet been possible to obtain a material that satisfies all of the above-mentioned properties desired in a heat-sensitive recording material.

Furthermore, with the recent demand for faster information processing, there is an increasing need for even higher speed recording in thermal recording systems. For this reason, mechanically, thermal printing heads are designed to shorten heating time and increase speed.
In order to provide the necessary thermal energy to develop color in thermal recording materials, thermal printing heads are heated to higher temperatures. However, when the thermal printing head is heated to a high temperature, a phenomenon called hollowing tends to occur, in which the colored center of the heat-sensitive recording material that is in contact with it is decolored.

This voiding is caused by the thermal energy supplied from the thermal printing head becoming poorly dissipated at the center of color development, causing phenols contained in the heat-sensitive recording layer to sublimate, resulting in a loss of color development ability. As a method of preventing this hollowing out, a plan has been proposed (for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 120542/1983) that uses latent heat of fusion to absorb excess thermal energy.

As a result of research into compounding agents that are effective for improving various properties of thermal printing heads, such as abrasion resistance and dirt adhesion, the present inventors found that alumina white, which has a basic polynuclear complex ionic structure, was used as a thermosensitive recording material. The present invention was completed based on the discovery that a heat-sensitive recording material having extremely good performance could be obtained by incorporating the compound into a recording layer composition and coating the same on a support.

Alumina white used in the present invention is a reaction product of a soluble aluminum salt such as aluminum sulfate or alum and an alkali such as an aluminate, and the currently widely used manufacturing method is a wet method. There are various theories about the chemical composition of alumina white obtained by this chemical reaction, and it is not yet confirmed, but it is reported by Ban, Hatano et al.

Water-insoluble tetrabasic aluminum sulfate aluminum dihydroxide with the structural formula (OH) 3 ]n is said to be a type of inorganic polymer compound with a basic polynuclear complex ion structure, and typical examples are as follows: It has physical properties.

PH 4.5-6.5 *According to JIS K-5101 method This alumina white has compound water of X molecules, and when heated above 60℃, it gradually releases this compound water. The present invention utilizes this property to absorb thermal energy from the thermal printing head by releasing compound water, and in particular, the central part of the thermal printing head, which becomes hot, is heated to absorb a large amount of energy. It shows an average temperature distribution over the entire area, and prevents the colored center from falling out.

In addition, alumina white has an oil absorption amount of 50 to 130ml/
It is large at 100g and is highly effective in preventing gas from adhering to the thermal printing head. Originally, alumina white is a white pigment mainly used in extender pigments such as crayons, oil paints, and inks, and its refractive index is extremely close to that of oil and fat substances, so it can be blended with pigment bodies without damaging its color tone. It has the advantage that the blending ratio can be changed arbitrarily depending on the oil absorption amount.

The reason why the thermal printing head has extremely good abrasion resistance is that alumina white is an inorganic polymer material that has a cross-linked structure due to weak bonds of compound water, and its pH is controlled between 4.5 and 6.5 depending on the reaction conditions. This is probably because it is a soft white pigment that has properties not found in other inorganic pigments. Such alumina white is generally known in the form of fine powder or paste. The size of the primary particles of paste-like alumina white is
The particle size is in the range of 0.02 to 0.1μ, and powder products form secondary aggregates of about 2 to 5μ.

Therefore, a heat-sensitive layer in which a heat-sensitive recording material in which alumina white is blended (uniformly dispersed) in a composition containing the above-mentioned color-forming dye compound and an acidic substance and coated on a support has low abrasion properties and prevents residue from adhering to the thermal printing head. Not only is this greatly improved, it is also possible to effectively eliminate the hollowing-out phenomenon in which the central part of the color is decolored, and the above-mentioned objects intended by the present invention can be solved at the same time (see Examples).

Conventionally, it is particularly effective in thermal printers to apply inorganic pigments, specifically powders and/or light calcium carbonate with an oil absorption of 50 ml/100 g or more according to the JIS K-5101 method, to a support and provide a heat-sensitive layer on top of the powder. It is well known (see Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 54-23545), but on the other hand, in view of the fact that the central part of the heat-sensitive recording material that is colored by the thermal printing head is likely to lose its color, the hollowing out phenomenon is likely to occur. In the present invention, although it is an inorganic pigment, it has an oil absorption of 50 ml/100
The occurrence of the hollowing out phenomenon can be most effectively eliminated by blending alumina white, which is made of a special composition (described above) with a large oil absorption amount and has a powder size of 50 to 130 ml/100 g or more, into the heat-sensitive composition. At the same time, the present invention is characterized in that it is possible to greatly improve the adhesion of residue to the thermal printing head.

In addition, as necessary, we also supply sensitizers and lubricants such as higher fatty acid amides, condensates of higher fatty acids and amines, petroleum and coal-based waxes, and vegetable-based waxes, antifoaming agents to suppress foaming, and agents to improve writability. It may contain inorganic mineral pigments, binders for bonding each component to each other, waterproofing agents, etc.
However, if the amount of inorganic mineral pigments added increases, the tendency to wear out the thermal printing head will increase, so it should be kept to the minimum necessary amount and care should be taken not to add too much.
