Abstract
Abstract An improved heat sensitive coating composition and heat sensitive paper for thermal printing containing the composition are disclosed. The composition contains a color-forming amount of a finely divided solid colorless or pale colored chromogenic fluoran dyestuff, a color-developing amount of a finely divided mixture of benzyl p-hydroxy benzoate and a halogenated derivative of 4,4'-isopropylidenediphenol and a carrier composition.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
102 words
A heat sensitive coating composition for a thermo-responsive printing or recording material comprising: a color-forming amount of a finely divided solid colorless or pale colored chromogenic fluoran dyestuff, a color-developing amount of a finely divided mixture of benzyl p-hydroxybenzoate and a halogenated derivative of 4,4'-isopropylidenediphenol, which at thermal printing temperature is at least partially fluidized and capable of a color-forming reaction with said dyestuff, an image stabilizing amount of dimethyl terephthalate, and a carrier composition, in which said dyestuff, image stabilizing and color-developing mixture are distributed comprising a substantially water soluble anionic polysaccharide gum and a stability enhancing amount of sucrose benzoate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
102 words
A heat sensitive coating composition for a thermo-responsive printing or recording material comprising: a color-forming amount of a finely divided solid colorless or pale colored chromogenic fluoran dyestuff, a color-developing amount of a finely divided mixture of benzyl p-hydroxybenzoate and a halogenated derivative of 4,4'-isopropylidenediphenol, which at thermal printing temperature is at least partially fluidized and capable of a color-forming reaction with said dyestuff, an image stabilizing amount of dimethyl terephthalate, and a carrier composition, in which said dyestuff, image stabilizing and color-developing mixture are distributed comprising a substantially water soluble anionic polysaccharide gum and a stability enhancing amount of sucrose benzoate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
19 words
The composition of claim 1, wherein said dyestuff is selected from the group consisting of 6'-(cyclohexylmethylamino)-3'-methyl-2'-(phenylamino)-spiro[isobenzo-fluoran-1-(3H),9'-(9H)xanthene]-3-one and 6'-(butylethylamino)-3'-methyl-2'-(phenylamino)-spiro[isobenzofluoran-1-(3H), 9'-(9H)xanthene]-3-one.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
The composition of claim 2, wherein said dyestuff is present in said composition in an amount ranging from 5 to 25%, by weight, based upon the total weight of the composition.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
37 words
The composition of claim 3, wherein said color-developing amount of a finely divided mixture of benzyl-p-hydroxybenzoate and the tetrabromo derivative of 4,4'-isopropylidenediphenol is between 15 and 25%, by weight, based upon the total weight of the composition.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
The composition of claim 4, wherein the weight ratio of benzyl-p-hydroxybenzoate to the tetrabromo derivative of 4,4'-isopropylidenediphenol is between 2:1 and 4:1.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
15 words
The composition of claim 1, wherein said halogenated derivative of 4,4'-isopropylidenediphenol is the tetrabromo derivative.
