Abstract: A heat-sensitive recording sheet containing in its color-forming layer a colorless or pale colored chromogenic fluoran-type dyestuff and p-hydroxybenzoic acid ester having the following general formula ##STR1## wherein R represents ##STR2## This heat-sensitive recording sheet incorporates high image density and very preferable recording aptitude with less abrasiveness and less residues accumulated even for long time recording.Furthermore, a phenol substance having a melting point of more than 90.degree. C. and a solubility of less than 0.1 g per 100 g water, which is used together with said p-hydroxybenzoic acid ester, is useful for lowering the yellowing of the heat-sensitive sheet.

Abstract: A heat-sensitive recording paper containing in its color-developing layer aluminum hydroxide as fillers and a colorless or pale-colored chromogenic dyestuff and a phenolic substance as chromogenic elements. This heat-sensitive recording paper incorporates high image density and very preferable recording aptitude with less abrasiveness and less residues accumulated even for long time recording.

Abstract: A heat-sensitive recording paper containing in its color-developing layer calcined clay or calcined aluminum oxide provides an excellent recording aptitude for a facsimile equipment or thermal printer without producing residues deposition, sticking, bleeding or smearing in recording or printing.
