Abstract: A thermal transfer recording medium comprising a support and a heat-fusible ink layer, coated on the support, which comprises a colorant and a binder. The binder comprises a polyurethane having bisphenol units or a polyether having bisphenol units and an hydroxyl group at the terminals. The thermal transfer recording medium provides a transferred image with a high quality regardless of the transferring paper.

Abstract: Disclosed is a heat sensitive paper comprising;(a) a base paper,(b) a coating layer on said base paper formed from an acrylic aqueous dispersion containing particles having an average diameter of 0.001 to 0.05 microns prepared by the following steps;(i) polymerizing of a monomer having a salt-forming group and a polymerizable double bond and a copolymerizable monomer in a hydrophilic organic solvent,(ii) neutralizing the salt-forming group by adding a neutralizing agent to the polymer solution, and(iii) adding water to the polymer solution and distilling away the hydrophilic organic solvent, and(c) a heat sensitive color developing layer comprising a colorless or light color electron donative dye and an electron acceptant compound which reacts with said electron donative dye to develop color, on said coating layer.

Abstract: A thermosensitive recording medium comprises a substrate and a thermosensitive, coloring layer, provided on the substrate, comprising a binder, a colorless or light-colored electron-donating dye, an electron-accepting compound to react with the electron-donating dye and form a coloring matter and then an ester compound obtained from a fatty acid having 20 to 28 carbon atoms and a straight or cyclic alcohol, the ester having a melting point of 50 to 100 degree C. and one or more non-phenolic hydroxy group. It is improved in prevention from fogging and sensitivity.

Abstract: Isocyanuric acid triesters are prepared by isomerization of the corresponding cyanuric acid triesters. The starting cyanuric acid esters are dissolved in a polar solvent which is free of active hydrogen atoms, which contains a nitrogen or sulfur atom in the molecule and which has a boiling point not higher than 260.degree. C. The solution may optionally contain an alkali metal halide, an alkaline earth metal halide or an ammonium halide. Isomerization is carried out at a temperature of from 50.degree. to 200.degree. C.

Abstract: Isocyanic acid derivatives are prepared by reacting an organic halogen compound with an alkali cyanate in N,N-disubstituted organic acid amides, N,N-disubstituted sulfonic acid amides, sulfoxides, sulfones or macrocyclic polyethers, at 70.degree. to 200.degree. C, in the presence of organic polyhalogen compounds selected from compounds having dihalogenomethyl group, dihalogenomethylene group, or trihalogenomethyl group and tetrahalogenomethane, in an amount in the range of from 1 to 20 weight percent based on the weight of said organic halogen compounds.

Abstract: A process for preparing organic isocyanate compounds characterized by reacting a chloromethyl group-containing compound having the formula:(X).sub.n RCH.sub.2 Clwherein X, which can be the same or different, is chlorine, alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkenyl, phenyl, chloromethylphenyl or chloromethyl, n is 0 or an integer of 1 to 3, and R is an aromatic hydrocarbon radical or an olefin radical,With an alkali cyanate, in the presence of a catalyst composition comprising (a) a cuprous salt in an amount of 0.1 to 20% by weight, based on said chloromethyl group-containing compound, and (b) a tertiary amine compound or quaternary ammonium compound in an amount equivalent to 0.05 to 1.25 gram atoms of nitrogen per gram mole of said cuprous salt, in a high-boiling-point solvent having a dieelectric constant (.epsilon.) not higher than 20, at a reaction temperature of 150.degree. to 250.degree. C, for 0.1 to 10 hours.
