HEAT-SENSITIVE RECORDING MATERIAL

Abstract: Described is a heat-sensitive recording material incorporating a colorless or pale-colored basic dye and a color acceptor which is reactive with the dye to form a color when contacted therewith, said recording material being characterized in that (a) as the basic dye are used 100 parts by weight of a specific phthalide derivative of the formula [ I ] and 20 to 100 parts by weight of a specific black color-forming fluoran derivative of the formula [ II ], (b) as the color acceptor is used a polyvalent metal salt of an aromatic carboxylic acid and (c) a recording sensitizer is further used, and whereby the resulting record images are at least 0.75 in PCS value at 800nm.

Description: The present invention relates to a block color-forming heat-sensitive recording material which has outstanding characteristics for use with optical character-or mark-reading devices having a reading wavelength range over the infrared region. A heat-sensitive recording material comprises a recording layer formed on a paper, sythetic paper or like substrate, the recording layer containing a colorless or pale-colored basic dye and a color acceptor as main components and capable of forming a color with heat. The recording material forms record images by heating with a thermal head, thermal pen, etc., and is presently widely used as a record medium for use with a facsimile, printer, electrocardiography in greatly increasing amounts. With a trend toward more efficient office work, optical character-reading devices having a reading wavelength range over the infrared region are in greatly increasing use for reading the record images on record media. However, conventional basic dyes form record images which have not light absorbency over near infrared region of 700 to 900nm, hence inapplicable to the above use. Therefore, the later-mentioned phthalide derivatives of the formula [ I ] having a fluorene skeleton have been developed as dyes suitable to the above use. These phthalide derivatives react with a color acceptor to form light-blue images having light absorbency over near infrared region of 700 to 900nm, which are readable by the optical character-reading device. However, the phthalide derivatives of the formula [ I ] form light-blue images as mentioned above by the reaction with a phenolic compound and like organic color acceptor, and the images are low in color density. Thus, the recording material using the above phthalide derivative has poor commercial value as a heat-sensitive recording material in which clear black-colored images are required. In view of the above, it is considered to use the phthalide derivative of the formula [ I ] conjointly with the later-mentioned black color-forming fluoran compound of the formula [ II ], but the phthalide derivative is suppressed in color forming ability by the conjoint use due to unknown reasons. As the result are obtained images having low PCS value [(reflectivity of the background area before recording)-(reflectivity of the recorded area after recording)/(reflectivity of the background area before recording)], and the images are readable by only a limited optical character-reading device in which images having low PCS value can be read. Further, images formed with use of a conventional phenolic color acceptor have a defect to easily fade by the irradiation of sunlight or fluorescent lamp. A thermal recording material comprising a fluorene dye and a fluoran dye is disclosed in EP-A-135 901. An object of the invention is to provide a heat-sensitive recording material capable of forming clear black-colored images which are readable by various optical character-rading devices having a reading wavelength range over near infrared region and are excellent in stability against irradiation of light. The above and other objects of the invention will become apparent from the following description. In a heat-sensitive recording material incorporating a colorless or pale-colored basic dye and a color acceptor which is reactive with the dye to form a color when contacted therewith, the present invention provides a recording material wherein (a) as the basic dye are used 100 parts by weight of a phthalide derivative of the formula [ I ] and 20 to 100 parts by weight of a black color-forming fluoran derivative of the formula [ II ], (b) as the color acceptor is used a polyvalent metal salt of an aromatic carboxylic acid and (c) a recording sensitizer is further used, and whereby the resulting record images are at least 0.75 in PCS value at 800nm wherein R₁ to R₄ are each hydrogen atom ; C 1∼8 alkyl ; C 5∼8 cycloalkyl ; C 3∼8 alkoxyalkyl ; C 3∼9 unsaturated alkyl ; tetrahydrofurfuryl ; tetrahydropyran-2-methyl ; C₇∼₁₀ aralkyl unsubstituted or substituted with halogen atom, C 1∼4 alkyl or C 1∼4 alkoxyl ; phenyl unsubstituted or substituted with halogen atom, C 1∼4 alkyl or C 1∼4 alkyl or C 1∼4 alkoxyl ; C 2∼8 alkyl having phenoxy unsubstituted or substituted with halogen atom, C 1∼4 alkyl or C 1∼4 alkoxyl ; or halogenated C 1∼8 alkyl ; R₁ and R₂, and/or R₃ and R₄ may form a heteroring selected from the group consisting of pyrrolidone, piperidine, hexamethyleneimine, morpholine, julolidone and tetrahydroquinoline together therewith or with an adjacent benzene ring, a, b, c and d represent carbon or nitrogen atoms, whereby one or two of said a, b, c, and d may be nitrogen atoms, the carbon atoms may have a substituent selected from the group consisting of hydrogen atom ; halogen atom ; C₁∼₄ alkyl ; C₁∼₄ alkoxyl ; -N(R₅)(R₆), R₅ and R₆ are same as R₁ to R₄ ; and nitro, one of a-b, b-c and c-d bond may form an another benzene ring together with the substituent, wherein R₇ and R₈ are each C₁∼₈ alkyl unsubstituted or substituted with halogen atom or C₁∼₄ alkoxyl ; unsaturated C₃∼₉ alkyl ; C₅∼₁₂ alicyclic group ; phenyl unsubstituted or substituted with halogen atom, C₁∼₄ alkyl or C₁∼₄ alkoxyl ; benzyl unsubstituted or substituted with halogen atom, C₁∼₄ alkyl or C₁∼₄ alkoxyl ; or tetrahydrofurfuryl, R₇ and R₈ may form a ring selected from the group consisting of pyrrolidine, piperidine, hexamethyleneimine and morpholine together therewith, R₉ and R₁₀ are each hydrogen atom ; halogen atom ; C₁∼₄ alkyl ; or C₁∼₄ alkoxyl, P is hydrogen atom ; halogen atom ; C₁∼₄ alkyl ; C₅∼₆ alicyclic group ; halogenated C₁∼₄ alkyl ; phenyl ; benzyl ; C₁∼₄ alkoxyl ; (C₁∼₄ alkoxy)carbonyl ; or di(C₁∼₄ alkyl)amino, X is hydrogen atom ; halogen atom ; or C₁∼₄ alkyl, n is an integer of 1 to 4.

Further, most preferable are polyvalent metal salts of indole-2-carboxylic acid derivatives of the formula [ VII ] which achieve more excellent improvement in color forming ability. wherein R₁₇ is hydrogen atom or C₁∼₄ alkyl, R₁₈∼R₂₂ are each hydrogen atom ; C₁∼₄ alkyl unsubstituted or substituted with di(C₁∼₄ alkyl)amino ; phenyl unsubstituted or substituted with hydroxyl ; C₁∼₄ alkoxyl ; phenoxy ; benzyloxy ; (C₁∼₄ alkyl)carbonyloxy ; benzoyloxy ; (C₁∼₄ alkyl)carbonyl ; benzoyl ; halogen atom ; cyano ; or hydroxyl. Although the present heat-sensitive recording material is greatly characterized by using, as a color acceptor, the above polyvalent metal salt of aromatic carboxylic acid, various known color acceptors are conjointly usable such as bisphenol A, 4,4′-cyclo-hexylidenediphenol, dimethyl 4-hydroxyphthalate, etc. As a recording sensitizer of the invention are used various known heat-fusible compounds such as caproic amide, enanthic amide, caprylic amide, pelargonic amide, capric amide, undecylic amide, lauramide, tridecylic amide, myristic amide, pentadecylic amide, palmitic amide, heptadecylic amide, stearic amide, nonadecylic amide, arachic amide, linolenic amide, stearic anilide, stearic toluidide, stearic xylidide, caproic anilide, palmitic toluidide and like fatty acid amides ; 2,2′-methylene-bis(4-methyl-6-tert-butylphenol), 1,1,3-tris(2-methyl-4-hydroxy-5-tert-butylphenyl)butane and like hindered phenols ; 1,2-bis(phenoxy)ethane, 1,2-bis(4-methylphenoxy)ethane, 1,2-bis(3-methylphenoxy)ethane, 2-naphthol benzyl ether and like ethers ; dibenzyl terephthalate, phenyl 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoate and like esters ; ethyl p-hydroxybenzoate, propyl p-hydroxybenzoate, butyl p-hydroxybenzoate, benzyl p-hydroxybenzoate, p-chlorobenzyl p-hydroxybenzoate, o-chlorobenzyl p-hydroxybenzoate, p-methylbenzyl p-hydroxybenzoate, n-octyl p-hydroxybenzoate, benzyl m-hydroxybenzoate, methyl m-hydroxybenzoate and like hydroxybenzoic acid esters. When a heat-fusible compound having a melting point of more than 140°C is used as the recording sensitizer, color forming sensitivity is insufficiently enhanced. Whereas with a heat-fusible compound less than 70°C in melting point, undesirable color formation is likely to occur in the recording layer. Thus, in the present invention, it is desirable to use a heat-fusible compound having a melting point of 70 to 140°C, preferably 80 to 130°C. Among these recording sensitizers, especially preferable are fatty acid amides and hydroxybenzoic acid esters which have excellent effects in improving recording sensitivity. These recording sensitizer can be used singly or in mixture thereof. The present heat-sensitive recording material will be explained in more detail below. Various kinds of heat-sensitive recording materials are disclosed, for example, in Japanese examined patent publication Nos. 3,680/1969, 27,880/1969, 14,039/1970, 43,830/1973, 69/1974, 70/1974, 20,142/1977, etc. The present invention can be applied to these various kinds of heat-sensitive recording materials, and provides the heat-sensitive recording material which gives the aforementioned excellent characteristics. Generally, to a medium having dissolved or dispersed therein a binder were added fine particles of the basic dyes, the color acceptor and the recording sensitizer to obtain a coating composition. The composition is applied to a suitable substrate such as a paper, plastic film, synthetic paper, non-woven sheet, shaped article to prepare the present heat-sensitive recording material. The proportions of the basic dye and the color acceptor in the recording layer are not limitative but are usually 1 to 50 parts by weight, preferably 2 to 10 parts by weight of the latter per one part by weight of the former. Further, the proportions of the basic dyes and the recording sensitizer are also not limitative but are usually 0.3 to 25 parts by weight, preferably 0.7 to 10 parts by weight of the latter per one part by weight of the former. In order to improve color forming ability, take off the luster of the surface of the recording layer or enhance the writing ability, inorganic metal compound such as oxides, hydroxides or carbonates of polyvalent metals, or inorganic pigment is used conjointly in an amount of 0.1 to 10 parts by weight, preferably 0.5 to 3 parts by weight per one part by weight of the color acceptor. Further, as required, various auxiliary agents are usable such as a dispersing agent, ultraviolet ray absorbing agent, defoaming agent, fluorescent dye, coloring dye, etc. As described above, the present heat-sensitive recording material is prepared by applying to a substrate a coating composition having dispersed therein fine particles of the basic dye, color acceptor and recording sensitizer. Alternatively, two coating compositions having dispersed the basic dye and color acceptor respectively are applied to a substrate one upon another. Further, the coating composition can be applied to a substrate by impregnation. The method of preparing a coating composition and coating method are not particularly limited and the coating composition is applied in an amount of usually 2 to 12 g/m² based on dry weight. It is possible to form an overcoat layer on the recording layer in order to protect the recording layer or to form an under layer on a substrate. Further, various known techniques in the field of the heat-sensitive recording material are usable. As a binder are used starches, celluloses, peptides, gum arabic, polyvinyl alcohol, styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer salt, styrene-butadiene copolymer emulsion, vinyl acetate-maleic anhydride copolymer salt, polyacrylic acid salt, etc. in an amount of 10 to 40% by weight, preferably 15 to 30% by weight based on a total solid of the coating composition.
