Abstract: A releasing composition capable of improving abrasion resistance includes a releasing composition containing releasing particles in a film forming material, and the releasing particle has a first releasing resin as a core material and a second releasing resin as a coating material. The first releasing resin has a relatively higher releasing property than the second releasing resin. The first releasing resin can include a surface tension of from about 0.01 N/m to about 0.025 N/m, and the second releasing resin may have a surface tension of from about 0.026 N/m to about 0.05 N/m.

Abstract: A thermal transfer recording medium 1 according to the present invention is to obtain a reliable printed matter with no space between picture information and a protective film thereof and has a melting type transfer portion 161 including a melting type primer layer 181 whose main component is styrene vinyl acetate copolymer and a melting type ink layer 171. Since styrene vinyl acetate copolymer softens or melts by heating to lose mechanical strength thereof, the melting type transfer portion 161 is transferred with ease from a base sheet 11 by heating to form a printing layer 47. On the surface of the printing layer 47, a residual resin 49 formed of material of the melting type primer layer 181 is exposed; however, since styrene vinyl acetate copolymer sticks well to a thermoplastic resin existing on the surface portion of a protective portion 251, there is no space generated between the protective portion 251 and the printing layer 47.
