Disclosed are a heat-sensitive recording material comprising a support, a heat-sensitive recording layer comprising a leuco dye and a developer, and a protective layer comprising a resin in the form of a film, the protective layer being obtained by coating the heat-sensitive recording layer with a protective layer aqueous coating composition comprising at least resin particles having a core/shell structure and then drying the coating, wherein the resin in the form of a film formed of said resin particles having a core/shell structure is present in an amount of not less than 80 mass % of the total solids of the protective layer, and the protective layer having a gloss (based on JIS P 8142) of not less than 80%, a heat-sensitive recording material comprising an interlayer between the heat-sensitive recording layer and the support of the heat-sensitive recording material, as well as processes for preparing these heat-sensitive recording materials.

Process for producing heat sensitive recording material

Heat-sensitive recording material

A heat sensitive recording material in which a heat sensitive recording layer containing an electron-donating compound and an electron-accepting compound, and a protective layer containing a binder are provided sequentially on a substrate, the binder in the protective layer being diacetone-modified polyvinyl alcohol.

Heat sensitive recording material

The heat-sensitive record material, in which color images are produced by a color-forming reaction between a colorless or pale colored basic chromogenic material and a color developer, comprises a novolac-type epoxy resin or a diphenyl sulfone derivative represented by the formula (III) in the color forming reaction system. In the former case, it is preferable to use a novolac-type epoxy resin represented by the formula (I) together witha a compound represented by the formula (II) and, in the latter case, the desired effects can be obtained by using 3-dibutylamino-6-methyl-7-phenylaminofluoran as the basic chromogenic material. ##STR1## wherein X is halogen or alkyl having C.sub.1 to C.sub.5, and a is an integer of 0 to 4; and n is an integer of 0 to 20, each of R.sub.1 .about.R.sub.6 is hydrogen, halogen, C.sub.1-5 alkyl or C.sub.1-5 alkoxyl, R.sub.7 is ##STR2## R.sub.10 is hydrogen or alkyl; each of p and q is 0 or an integer of 1 to 5; each of r and s is an integer of 1 to 5; each R.sub.8 and R.sub.9 is halogen, alkyl or alkoxyl; l is 0 or 1; u is 0 or an integer of 1 to 5; and t is 0 or an integer of 1 to 4.
