Abstract

Abstract A heat-sensitive record material having on a base sheet a recording layer which comprises a basic colorless chromogenic material and an acceptor in the state of that the colorless chromogenic material is contacted with the acceptor by heating to produce color images. The recording layer comprises at least one phenol compound represented by the following formula (I) together with the colorless chromogenic material and the acceptor, <IMAGE> (I) wherein each of R1, R2 and R3 radicals is hydrogen, C1-8 alkyl or C5-8 cycloalkyl, but at least one of R1, R2 and R3 radicals is C5-8 cycloalkyl; and each of R4, R5, R6, R7 and R8 radicals is hydrogen or C1-8 alkyl.
