Abstract
Abstract A sensitized record sheet material is disclosed, suitable for developing color in oily, colorless, chromogenic dye-precursor inks applied thereto. Said record sheet material has a light, reactive, coating which comprises a zinc compound and a salicylic acid derivative combinded in, and applied from, an aqueous system of basic pH. The coating composition is also disclosed, as is the process for making it.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
96 words
A sensitized record sheet material comprising a substrate and a coating comprising an active material consisting essentially of the dried residue of an aqueous dispersion of a 3,5-substituted salicylic acid, a zinc compound selected from the group consisting of zinc oxide, zinc carbonate, zinc phosphate and zinc phenol sulfonate, and ammonium hydroxide at a pH of 7.5 to 10.0, wherein the 3,5'substituted salicylic acid is present in an amount of 0.1 to 0.4 grams per square meter and the 3,5-substituted salicylic acid and the zinc compound are present in a weight ratio of 1:1 to 1:6.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
96 words
A sensitized record sheet material comprising a substrate and a coating comprising an active material consisting essentially of the dried residue of an aqueous dispersion of a 3,5-substituted salicylic acid, a zinc compound selected from the group consisting of zinc oxide, zinc carbonate, zinc phosphate and zinc phenol sulfonate, and ammonium hydroxide at a pH of 7.5 to 10.0, wherein the 3,5'substituted salicylic acid is present in an amount of 0.1 to 0.4 grams per square meter and the 3,5-substituted salicylic acid and the zinc compound are present in a weight ratio of 1:1 to 1:6.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
The record sheet material of claim 1 wherein the 3,5-substituted salicylic acid is selected from the group consisting of 3,5-diisopropyl salicylic acid, 3,5-di-tert-butyl salicylic acid, and 3-tert-butyl-5-methyl salicylic acid.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
The record sheet material of claim 1 wherein the active material is 2.5 to 20 weight percent of the coating.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
23 words
The record sheet material of claim 1 wherein the 3,5-substituted salicylic acid is 3,5-di-tert-butyl salicylic acid and the zinc compound is zinc oxide.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
84 words
A process for making a paper coating composition comprising the steps of: (a) dispersing into an aqueous liquid vehicle active material consisting essentially of a 3,5-substituted salicylic acid and a zinc compound, selected from the group consisting of zinc oxide, zinc carbonate, zinc phosphate, zinc phenol sulfonate, wherein the 3,5-substituted salicyclic acid and the zinc compound are present in a weight ratio of about 1:1 to 1:6; and (b) adjusting the pH of the dispersion to 7.5 to 10.0 by addition of ammonium hydroxide.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
84 words

Claim 8
Dependent Claim
27 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the 3,5-substituted salicylic acid is selected from the group consisting of 3,5-diisopropyl salicylic acid, 3,5-di-tert-butyl salicylic acid, and 3-tert-butyl-5-methyl salicylic acid.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
21 words
