Heat-sensitive recording medium

The present invention provides a heat sensitive recording material having a recoridng layer formed on a substrate and containing a colorless or light-colored basic dye and a color developer, the heat sensitive recording material being characterized in that the color developer includes a zinc salt of terephthalaldehydic acid or a composite zinc salt of terephthalaldehydic acid and other aromatic carboxylic acid.

Heat sensitive recording material

In a multi-color heat sensitive recording material comprising a substrate and two or more heat sensitive color-forming layers thereon capable of forming different colors from each other, at least one of the heat sensitive color-forming layers containing a leuco dye and an acidic substance, the recording material characterized in that at least one piperidine derivative represented by the formula [I] ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is C.sub.1.about.30 aliphatic group residue which may have C.sub.2.about.20 alkoxycarbonyl group, or C.sub.1.about.30 aliphatic group residue which has ether linkage and oxycarbonyl group; R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5 and X are each methyl group or hydrogen atom; and l is an integer of 1 to 6, is incorporated at the position where a decolorizing function can be effected against the color-forming system comprising a leuco dye and an acidic substance.

Multi-color heat sensitive recording material

Disclosed is a two-color heat-sensitive recording material which comprises a base sheet and a recording layer of single-layer or multi-layer structure formed on the base sheet, the recording layer comrising:

Two-color heat-sensitive recording material with

In a heat-sensitive recording material which comprises a substrate and a heat-sensitive recording layer thereon containing a diazonium salt and coupler compound, the heat-sensitive recording material characterized in that the coupler compound comprises at least one compound represented by the formula [I] below ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5, R.sub.6, R.sub.7 and R.sub.8 are each hydrogen atom, halogen atom, alkyl or alkoxyl; R.sub.9 is hydrogen atom or alkyl; X and Y are each hydrogen atom, --OR.sub.10 or --N(R.sub.11)(R.sub.12), R.sub.10, R.sub.11 and R.sub.12 being each hydrogen atom, alkyl, alicyclic group, aryl or aralkyl, these R.sub.10, R.sub.11 and R.sub.12 may have a substituent selected from among halogen atom, alkyl and alkoxy, R.sub.11 and R.sub.12 may link together to form a heteroring, or, one or both of R.sub.11 and R.sub.12 may form a heteroring together with an adjacent benzene ring; n is 0 or 1.

Heat-sensitive diazo recording material with diphenyl alkene coupler

A heat-sensitive recording material comprising a substrate and a heat-sensitive recording layer thereon, the heat-sensitive recording layer containing a diazonium salt, coupler compound, heat-fusible basic compound and at least one of the compounds represented by the formula [I] below ##STR1## wherein X is --O-- or --CONH--, R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are each hydrogen, halogen, alkyl having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, cycloalkyl, aryl, aralkyl or alkoxyl and n is an integer of 1 to 10.

Heat-sensitive recording diazo material with recording sensitizer

This invention provides a heat-sensitive recording material comprising a substrate and a heat-sensitive recording layer which is formed over the substrate and which contains a diazonium salt, a coupler and at least one of specific heat-fusible basic amidine and diamidine compounds in which the nitrogen atom(s) of ##STR1## moiety(moieties) has(have) a substituent and the nitrogen atom(s) or ##STR2## moiety(moieties) has(have) at least one substituent, the substituent being independently selected from the group consisting of phenyl, naphthyl, phenyl-C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl and naphthyl-C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl, each optionally substituted with C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxy, phenyloxy, nitro or halogen, and in which amidine compounds are other than formamidines. The heat-sensitive recording material is especially excellent in storage stability.

Heat and light-sensitive recording materials with dialonium compound,

This invention provides a multicolor record material comprising a plurality of color forming systems each containing a color forming material and a color developing material and adapted to produce different colors individually, the multicolor record material being characterized in that each of the systems contains a substance which absorbs an infrared beam of specified wavelength for causing the system to produce its color but which substantially does not absorb an infrared beam of different wavelength for causing another system to produce the color thereof.

Multicolor record material

A heat-sensitive record material for use with an infrared laser containing

Heat-sensitive record material

A color developer is obtained by the process which comprises heating a mixture of at least one aromatic carboxylic acid, at least one water-insoluble organic polymer and at least one oxide or carbonate of polyvalent metal to melt at least one of aromatic carboxylic acid and said polymer to form a homogeneous mass. The color developer may be pulverized to form finely divided particles.
