Abstract
Abstract Disclosed is a resin composition for heat-sensitive transfer recording medium, comprising (A) a silicone resin and (B) at least one resin selected from the group consisting of polyester resins, polyamide resins, cellulose type resins and acrylic resins. Disclosed is also a heat-sensitive transfer recording medium having at least one colorant layer containing a heat-fusible substance on a support, comprising a backing layer formed from (A) a silicone resin and (B) at least one resin selected from the group consisting of polyester resins, polyamide resins, cellulose type resins and acrylic resins provided on the surface of the support where no colorant layer is provided. The resin composition for heat-sensitive transfer recording medium of the present invention has sufficient heat resistance. Also, the heat-sensitive transfer recording medium utilizing the resin composition for heat-sensitive transfer recording medium as a backing layer is free from generation of blocking phenomenon between the backing layer and a colorant layer even when stored for a long term under wound state, contamination of thermal head, generation of sticking phenomenon, transfer irregularity of a colorant layer and printed image defect.
