However, in conventional heat-sensitive recording materials of this type, when the heat-sensitive color forming part comes into contact with plastic such as polyvinyl chloride, the color image fades and disappears due to the plasticizers, stabilizers, additives, etc. contained in the plastic. There were drawbacks such as clumping and failure to develop color when uncolored areas came into contact with each other. For example, if you place a plastic eraser on a heat-sensitive recording material, the colored image will disappear within a few hours, or the colored heat-sensitive recording material may be stored for a long time in a polyvinyl chloride card case or leather wallet. In this case, problems such as the colored image disappearing occurred.

Therefore, the present inventors investigated various reasons why the heat-sensitive recording materials used in conventional heat-sensitive recording bodies are unstable against plasticizers used in plastics and softeners contained in leather products. As a result of consideration,
Organic acids such as phenolic compounds, which are conventionally used as color developers, have good compatibility with plasticizers, etc. of plastics, making it difficult for color reactions to occur with leuco dyes, and also to remove colored areas. As a result of investigating the countermeasures, we found that by providing a surface layer on the heat-sensitive recording layer, we can prevent contact between the heat-sensitive recording material and the plasticizer, etc.
A heat-sensitive recording material with improved storage stability of colored images is obtained.

That is, the present invention provides casein, hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, isobutylene-maleic anhydride copolymer, polyvinyl acetate, vinyl acetate-acrylic on a heat-sensitive recording layer formed on a support such as paper or plastic film. This relates to a heat-sensitive recording material provided with a surface layer mainly composed of at least one resin selected from the group consisting of copolymer, modified polyacrylamide, and polyvinyl alcohol. This prevents plasticizers from penetrating the recording layer and improves the storage stability of colored images.

Next, on the heat-sensitive recording layer formed as described above, casein, hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, isobutylene-maleic anhydride copolymer, polyvinyl acetate, vinyl acetate-acrylic copolymer, modified polyacrylamide, A surface layer is provided by applying a water-based paint containing at least one resin selected from polyvinyl alcohol as a main component. Pigments and waxes used as heat-sensitive recording materials can also be added to the surface layer, if necessary. The surface layer is made of casein and polyvinyl acetate, which have poor compatibility with plasticizers, etc., and can prevent penetration of penetrants such as plasticizers, thereby preventing fading of colored images. In particular, casein is used as the main component because it inhibits color development less than polyvinyl acetate. Resins other than casein and polyvinyl acetate can be added to improve adhesion to the heat-sensitive recording layer and recording properties, but compared to casein and polyvinyl acetate, they are less likely to prevent penetration of plasticizers and the like. Furthermore, pigments and waxes that can be added to the surface layer can improve the recording properties, and in particular can reduce staking. The resin forming the surface layer should preferably be at least 50% by weight of the solid content of the surface layer, the pigment should be less than 50% by weight, and the wax should be less than 30% by weight. If the resin content is less than 50% by weight, the plasticizer will penetrate easily and the colored image will easily disappear. Preferably, the resin content is 75% or more of the surface layer solid content.
