Abstract
Abstract A pressure sensitive recording sheet having thereon a layer of fine oil microcapsules produced by the process which comprises dispersing or emulsifying finely in a polar solvent an oily liquid containing a substantially colorless color former capable of reacting with a developer to form a colored product and a polyisocyanate adduct having a free isocyanate group and adding to the dispersion or emulsion of the oil droplets a polyamine or a polyamine adduct having a free amino group as a polymerization promotor, whereby the polymerization of the polyisocyanate adduct is caused from the outer side of each oil droplet to encapsulate the oil droplet by the insolubilized polyisocyanate adduct. By this process the size of the microcapsules can be controlled quite easily.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
121 words
A pressure sensitive recording sheet having thereon a layer of the fine oil microcapsules produced by the process which comprises dissolving in an oily liquid containing a substantially colorless color former capable of reacting with a developer to form a colored product a polyisocyanate adduct having a free isocyanate group, said polyisocyanate adduct being an adduct of hexamethylene diisocyanate and trimethylolpropane, an adduct of tolylenediisocyanate and trimethylolpropane or a xylylene diisocyanate adduct, said adduct having both an olephilic group and a hydrophilic group, dispersing or emulsifying said oily liquid containing said polyisocyanate adduct in a polar solvent, adding a polyamine or a polyamine adduct having a free amino group to said polar solvent, and polymerizing polyisocyanate adduct in said oily liquid.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
121 words
A pressure sensitive recording sheet having thereon a layer of the fine oil microcapsules produced by the process which comprises dissolving in an oily liquid containing a substantially colorless color former capable of reacting with a developer to form a colored product a polyisocyanate adduct having a free isocyanate group, said polyisocyanate adduct being an adduct of hexamethylene diisocyanate and trimethylolpropane, an adduct of tolylenediisocyanate and trimethylolpropane or a xylylene diisocyanate adduct, said adduct having both an olephilic group and a hydrophilic group, dispersing or emulsifying said oily liquid containing said polyisocyanate adduct in a polar solvent, adding a polyamine or a polyamine adduct having a free amino group to said polar solvent, and polymerizing polyisocyanate adduct in said oily liquid.
