Patent number: 8975212Abstract: The invention provides a phenolsulfonic acid aryl ester represented by formula (1) wherein each symbol is as defined in the description. The phenolsulfonic acid aryl ester is useful as a developer to provide a thermal recording material with good color-developing sensitivity, image density when printed at a low application energy (i.e., high start-up sensitivity), and heat and plasticizer resistance. The invention also provides a thermal recording material using the developer.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2011Date of Patent: March 10, 2015Assignees: Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, Nippon Paper Industries Co., Ltd.Inventors: Mai Higuchi, Yoshimune Aosaki, Keiichiro Inada, Mamoru Suga, Katsuto Ohse, Yoshimi Midorikawa, Yukiko Sato

Patent number: 8492308Abstract: The present invention provides a thermosensitive recording medium with excellent color developing sensitivity, moist heat resistance and plasticizer resistance, as well as excellent heat resistance, background coloring, light resistance and the like in the printed image. A diphenyl sulfone derivative containing a hydroxyl group on one end and an alkoxy group on the other end has a higher melting point than the one containing hydroxyl groups on both ends. As a result, the thermosensitive recording medium obtained using the diphenyl sulfone derivative as the color developing agent in the thermosensitive color developing layer has excellent heat resistance. However the color developing sensitivity of the thermosensitive recording medium generally declines simultaneously, when a color developing agent with a high melting point is ordinarily used.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2008Date of Patent: July 23, 2013Assignees: Nippon Paper Industries Co., Ltd., API CorporationInventors: Tatsuyuki Kurihara, Tatsuo Nagai, Yoshimi Midorikawa, Akihito Ogino, Mamoru Suga, Yoshimune Aosaki

Patent number: 8062993Abstract: The present invention relates to a developer mixture for a thermal recording material, which comprises a mixture of the first organic developer comprising a condensate or a condensed composition represented by the formula (I): wherein R is a lower alkyl group or an aralkyl group, n is an integer of 0 to 5, and X and Y are each a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group or an aryl group, and the second organic developer other than the first organic developer (except 2,2-bis(3-methyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propane), a developer mixture for a thermal recording material, and a thermal recording material having a heat-coloring layer containing the developer mixture. Using the developer mixture for a thermal recording material of the present invention, a thermal recording material sufficiently satisfying the recent requirement for high sensitivity, and having superior preservation stability of color images and non-image areas can be realized.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2005Date of Patent: November 22, 2011Assignees: API Corporation, Nippon Paper Industries Co., Ltd.Inventors: Mamoru Suga, Nanako Okamoto, Aya Kato, Takashi Date, Yoshihide Kimura
