The present invention relates to a heat-sensitive recording medium in which an image is recorded by the reaction between a color former and a color developer by heating, and in particular, by using one or more specific zinc compounds as a color developer, the recorded image The purpose of the present invention is to obtain a heat-sensitive recording medium with improved storage stability. Conventional heat-sensitive recording materials include, for example, U.S. Patent No.
A combination of a leuco dye such as crystal violet lactone (C.V.L.) and an organic acid such as a phenolic compound described in No. 2712507 or No. 2730457 is known. 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 and stabilizers contained in the plastic. Also, there was a drawback that coloring did not occur when uncolored areas came into contact with each other. For example, if a plastic eraser is placed on the colored part of a heat-sensitive recording material, the colored image will disappear within a few hours, or if a colored heat-sensitive recording material is stored for a long period of time in a polyvinyl chloride card case. In some cases, problems such as recorded images disappearing occurred. Therefore, the present inventors conducted various studies in order to investigate the cause of the instability of heat-sensitive recording materials used in conventional heat-sensitive recording media against plasticizers used in plastics. It was discovered that organic acids such as phenolic compounds used as leuco dyes have good compatibility with plasticizers, making it difficult for them to develop color with leuco dyes, and also erasing the colored areas. As a result of studying color developers for leuco dyes,
The present invention was achieved by discovering that a heat-sensitive recording material with good storage stability can be obtained when a specific zinc compound is used as a color developer. That is, the present invention provides a heat-sensitive recording material in which a recording layer containing a usually colorless or light-colored color-forming dye and a color developer and a binder that cause the color-forming dye to develop color when heated is provided on a support. A heat-sensitive recording material characterized in that one or more of zinc hydroxide, zinc carbonate, zinc oxalate, zinc acetate, or an ammonia complex thereof, or an ammonia complex of zinc chloride and zinc peroxide is used as the heat-sensitive recording material. It is. Various types of colorless or light-colored color-forming dyes are known to be used in the present invention, including the following. 3,3-bis(P-dimethylaminophenyl)
Phthalide, 3,3-bis(dimethylaminophenyl)-6-dimethylaminophthalide, 3-(P-dimethylaminophenyl)-3-(1,2-dimethylindol-3yl)phthalide, 4,4 ′-bis-
Dimethylaminobenzohydrylbenzyl ether, N-halophenyl leukoolamine, N-
2,4,5-trichlorophenylleucoauramine, 7-diethylamino-3-chlorofluoran, 7-diethylamino-3-chloro-2-methylfluoran, 2-phenylamino-3-methyl-6-(N- Ethyl-N-P-tolyl)aminofluorane, 3-diethylamino-6-methyl-7
-anilinofluorane, benzoylleucomethylene blue, P-nitrobenzylleucomethylene blue, 3-methyl-spiro-dinaphthopyran, etc. As the binder, water-soluble polymers are used, such as polyvinyl alcohol, hydroxyethyl cellulose, starch, casein, salts of styrene-maleic anhydride copolymers, and styrene-butadiene latex. In addition, white pigments, waxes, dispersants, antifoaming agents, etc. may be used if necessary. The above-mentioned color-forming substances and color developer are separately dispersed together with a binder using a ball mill, etc., then mixed, and then a heat-sensitive paint with pigments, wax, etc. added as necessary is applied to paper or plastic film. A heat-sensitive recording material is obtained by coating on a support. The heat-sensitive recording medium obtained by the present invention can prevent the loss of colored images caused by plasticizers in plastics, which could not be overcome with conventional techniques, and has significantly improved long-term storage stability, and is superior to conventional techniques. It is now possible to color the parts to which the plasticizer adheres, which would otherwise not develop color. Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically explained with reference to Examples. Example 1 <Liquid A> 3-diethylamino-6-methyl-7-anilinofluorane 5 parts by weight 10% polyvinyl alcohol aqueous solution 10 Water 20 <Liquid B> Zinc hydroxide 10 parts by weight 10% polyvinyl alcohol aqueous solution 10 〃 Water 20 〃 Pulverize liquid A and liquid B in separate ball mills for 24 hours.
After dispersion, the mixed and prepared paint was applied onto a base paper so that the coating amount after drying was 7 g/m 2 to obtain a heat-sensitive recording material. Example 2 <Liquid A> 3-diethylamino-6-methyl-7-anilinofluorane 5 parts by weight 10% polyvinyl alcohol aqueous solution 20 Water 20 <Liquid B> Zinc hydroxide ammonia complex 10 parts by weight 10% polyvinyl alcohol Aqueous solution 10 〃 Water 20 〃 <Liquid C> Stearic acid amide 10 parts by weight Sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid 10 〃 Water 20 〃 Prepared by grinding and dispersing Liquids A, B, and C in separate ball mills for 24 hours, and then mixing them. The resulting paint was applied onto a base paper so that the coating amount after drying was 7 g/m 2 to obtain a heat-sensitive recording material. Comparative Example A heat-sensitive recording material using general-purpose bisphenol A as a color developer. The heat-sensitive recording materials of the above Examples and Comparative Examples were heated to develop color, a plastic eraser was placed on the color development area, a pressure of 500 g was applied, and the color was left to stand for 2 hours to conduct a color erasure test. The color density at this time and the density after the color erasure test are shown in the table below. The color density was measured using a Macbeth reflection densitometer.
