  • Patent number: 11912052
    Abstract: Provided is a thermosensitive recording medium having excellent oil resistance among various performances required for the thermosensitive recording medium. The thermosensitive recording medium has a thermosensitive recording layer comprising a colorless or pale colored electron donating leuco dye and an electron accepting color developing agent on a substrate, wherein the thermosensitive recording layer contains N-[2-(3-phenylureido)phenyl] benzenesulfonamide and an urea-based compound represented by the general formula 1 as the electron accepting color developing agents, wherein R1 represents a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, aralkyl group or aryl group, and R2 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group.

  • Publication number: 20230144275
    Abstract: Provided is a thermosensitive recording medium being excellent in oil resistance among various performances required for the thermosensitive recording medium, and being further excellent in heat resistance, plasticizer resistance, and printing (recording) run-ability. That is a thermosensitive recording medium having a thermosensitive recording layer comprising a colorless or pale colored electron donating leuco dye and an electron accepting color developing agent on a substrate, wherein the thermosensitive recording layer contains at least two kinds of urea compounds. The two kinds of urea compounds comprise the first urea compound being represented by the following general formula 1, and the second urea compound being represented by the following general formula 2.

  • Publication number: 20230027721
    Abstract: Provided is a thermosensitive recording medium having a sufficient water resistance to moisture and humidity, such as for outdoor use in rainy weather and the like, and also having a superior color developing sensitivity, print image quality when printing at high speed, ink fixability and solvent resistance and the like. As the protective layer comprises a specific silane-modified acrylic resin which is an aqueous emulsion of core-shell type p articles, in a thermosensitive recording medium having a thermosensitive recording layer on a substrate and a protective layer on the thermosensitive recording layer, the thermosensitive re cording medium has a sufficient water resistance and also has a superior color developing sensitivity, print image quality when printing at high speed, ink fixability and solvent resistance and the like.
