Abstract: An aqueous polyurethane resin composition including: an aqueous polyurethane resin which is a chain-extended product obtained from a neutralized product of an isocyanate-terminated prepolymer which is a reaction product of (A) a polyisocyanate, (B) polyols, and (C) a diol having a carboxy group and/or a carboxylate group, by using (D) a polyamine having two or more amino groups and/or imino groups in one molecule, wherein (B) the polyols contain (b-1) a polypropylene glycol having a number average molecular weight of 600 to 10,000 and (b-2) a polytetramethylene glycol having a number average molecular weight of 1,000 to 4,000, a total amount of (b-1) the polypropylene glycol and (b-2) the polytetramethylene glycol accounts for 50% by mass or more of an entire amount of (B) the polyols, and a mass ratio between (b-1) the polypropylene glycol and (b-2) the polytetramethylene glycol is (b-1):(b-2)=0.5:99.5 to 60:40.

Abstract: The invention provides a heat-sensitive recording material, which is highly sensitive, is almost free of staining on the background, and gives a recorded image excellent in stability during storage, by using a finely divided sensitizer dispersion excellent in shelf stability produced in a short time with high volumetric efficiency. The invention relates to a method of producing a sensitizer dispersion, which comprises emulsifying and finely dividing a heat-sensitive recording sensitizer by melting under heating in an aqueous emulsifying dispersant, and then crystallizing the finely divided emulsified dispersion under rapid cooling, wherein the sensitizer is at least one member selected from the group consisting of 1,2-bis(phenoxy)ethane, 1,2-bis(3-methylphenoxy)ethane, 1,2-bis(4-methylphenoxy)ethane, p-benzylbiphenyl, di-p-methylbenzyl oxalate, and ?-naphthyl benzyl ether.

Abstract: The flame retardant treating agent of the invention comprises a phosphorus-based compound represented by the following formula (4), for example. According to the invention, a polyester fiber woven fabric is immersed in a treatment solution containing the flame retardant treating agent and is heat treated at a prescribed temperature in order to fix the flame retardant treating agent to the polyester fiber woven fabric to obtain flame retardant treated fiber. As a result, it is possible to maintain adequate fiber cleaning durability and achieve a sufficient flame retardant property even by post-treatment, without using halogen-based compounds.
