Abstract

【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は感熱記録材料及び感熱記録方法に関し、特に医療用記録媒体等に好適な、高画質で汚染が無く表面強度の高い感熱記録材料及び感熱記録方法に関する
【0002】
【従来の技術】
感熱記録方法は、(1)現像が不要である、(2)支持体が紙の場合、材質が普通紙に近い、(3)取り扱いが容易である、(4)発色濃度が高い、(5)記録装置が簡便で信頼性が高く安価である、(6)記録時の騒音が少ない、(7)メンテナンスが不要である、等の利点があることから、近年、様々な分野で利用されており、例えばファクシミリやプリンターの分野、POS等のラベル分野、医療用画像等の分野に用途が拡大している
【0003】
医療用画像の分野では、飽和光学濃度で約3.0以上という広いダイナミックレンジが要求されるため、感熱記録材料に与えられる最大熱エネルギーが、一般のファックス用感熱紙に供給される熱エネルギーの約10倍程度と高くなってしまう。その為に医療用の感熱記録材料の記録に用いるサーマルヘッドは磨耗が早く、その耐久寿命が短いという問題がある。サーマルヘッドの磨耗に対しては、硬度が高く化学的に安定なカーボンを主成分とする層をヘッド表面に設ける提案がなされている。特にサーマルヘッドの最上層の炭素比率を高くすることでサーマルヘッドの耐磨耗性を向上させることができ、これによりその寿命を延ばすことができる。
【0004】
しかしながら、表面の炭素比率が高いサーマルヘッドは表面エネルギーが低く、記録時に感熱記録層の保護層に含まれる潤滑剤が濡れ難いという性質がある。この対策として、保護層中に融点が40〜100℃のワックスを有し、且つ保護層中の顔料がバインダーよりも少ない感熱記録材料が提案され、透明性が高くスティッキングの無いものが得られると記載されている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。上記保護層に含まれる潤滑剤は、加熱時に融解してサーマルヘッドと感熱記録材料の摩擦を下げる目的で添加されるが、融解した潤滑剤は記録後に冷却され記録材料表面で結晶化するため、プリンター装置内の搬送ロールやガイド板に転写して汚染する問題がある。この様な汚染物質が記録材料に転写すると、シャーカステンやライトテーブルで透過画像を観察する際に光を遮る原因となり、診断上好ましくない。
【0005】
一方、保護層中に液体や融点40℃以下の潤滑剤を含有する感熱記録材料(例えば、特許文献2参照)は、記録後に表面で結晶化しない、ないしは結晶化し難いため、上記の様な装置汚染の問題を引き起こす懸念は少ないが、保護層の塗膜強度を低下させ、裁断時に塗膜が剥がれたり、ハンドリングの際に表面に傷が付き易いという問題があった。塗膜の剥離は装置内汚染の原因となる。また傷が発生した部分はサーマルヘッドからの熱伝導が変化し、通常、周辺部分に比して記録濃度が異なり、この様な濃度ムラは傷の状況によっては増感或いは減感に作用し画像診断の防げになる。
【0006】
記録材料の表面の傷は、記録層用塗布液等を塗布し乾燥した感熱記録材料が、巻き取りに至るまでの搬送工程やその後の加工工程で表面が擦られることにより発生する以外にも、製品輸送時の振動や記録用プリンター内の搬送経路に設けられたガイド板との接触等でも発生する。特に、感熱記録層と反対側の面に、光沢や枚葉性の調整の目的でマット剤を含むバック層を設けた場合には、バック層中のマット剤の凸部が上記の製品輸送時の振動で、対向して接する記録層面を擦り、傷を付けることが多い。
【0007】
また、バック層表面に付着した記録層表面の擦り滓が、多数枚の記録を行っている間に、プリンター内のプラテンロールに転写し堆積することがある。この様に滓が堆積した部分では、記録ヘッドに対する押し圧が局部的に高くなり、熱伝導性が変化する結果、周期的な濃度ムラが発生するという問題もある。この残滓はクリーニングして除去しなければならず、感熱プリンターのメンテナンスフリー性を著しく損なう。
【0008】
濃度ムラの原因となる上記損傷を無くすためには、感熱記録材料の表面層の硬度を高める或いは強度を上げる必要がある。そのための対策として、支持体と記録層及び保護層との接着性を碁板目テ−プ法による評価点数で6点以上であると規定した感熱記録材料が提示されているが(例えば、特許文献3参照)、該特性は記録材料の表面の耐損傷性とは対応し難い。また、水溶性のバインダー樹脂フィルムが20℃、60%RHにおいて1kg/mm以上の引裂強度を有する感熱記録材料(例えば、特許文献4参照)、及び20℃、30分間の水浸漬後における引裂き強度が30g以上である感熱記録材料(例えば、特許文献5参照)が提案されているが、これも記録材料の表面強度と対応しているとは言えない。更に、感熱記録材料の保護層のダイナミック硬度値が120℃で40以上である記録材料(例えば、特許文献6参照)が提案されているが、温度120℃での硬度を規定しており熱記録時の膜物性を対象とするもので記録材料の表面強度とは関係が薄い。
【0009】
印画トルクないしヘッドマッチング性を改善する手段としては、更に、特定の構造を有する脂肪族系アミド化合物(例えば、特許文献7参照)や、変性ポリエチレングリコールや変性シリコーンオイル及び特殊樹脂フィラー等の添加が開示されている(例えば、特許文献8〜11参照)。しかしながら、これらを添加するのみでは、添加量等に対する諸制限との関係で、十分に目的を達成することができない場合がある。例えば、添加が多すぎるとヘッド汚れが生ずる場合には、その使用量は制限され、或いは十分に印画トルクを低減することができる程度の量まで上記の変性潤滑剤やフィラー等を用いると印画画像の画質が悪化する場合があり、感熱記録材料の他の諸性能に影響を与えることなく、十分な潤滑効果、即ち印画トルクの低減を図ることは未だ達成されていないのが現状である。

以下、本発明の感熱記録材料及び感熱記録方法について、詳細に説明する。
本発明の感熱記録材料は、支持体上に感熱記録層及び保護層を有し、更に必要に応じて、バック層や中間層及びその他の層を有してなり、上記保護層のJISK6718に規定する表面硬さが40g以上であることを特徴とする。
【0014】
(保護層)
本発明の上記保護層は、通常は感熱記録層上に、その他の層として中間層を感熱記録層上に設ける場合には、該中間層上に形成される。この保護層は通常、保護層用塗布液を塗布し乾燥して形成されるもので、該保護層用塗布液は広い記録エネルギー領域に亙り、良好なヘッドマッチング性を保持するために、少なくとも顔料を含有し、更に潤滑剤や水溶性樹脂及び架橋剤等を含むことができる。
【0015】
本発明の保護層に用いる上記顔料は、サーマルヘッドによる記録を好適なものとする為、即ち、スティッキングや異音等の発生を抑止する目的で用いられるもので、有機顔料及び無機顔料等の中から適宜に選択して使用する。
【0016】
上記顔料としては、その平均粒径、詳しくはレーザー回折法で測定した50%体積平均粒径(堀場製作所(株)製のレーザー回折粒度分布測定装置「LA700」により測定した、顔料中の50%体積に相当する顔料粒子の平均粒径を指す。以下、これを単に「平均粒径」と言うことがある。)が、0.10〜5μmであるものが好ましく、特にサーマルヘッドにより記録する際、サーマルヘッドと感熱記録材料の間におけるスティッキングや異音等の発生を防止する観点から、該50%体積平均粒径が0.20〜0.50μmの範囲にあるものがより好ましい。この50%体積平均粒径が0.10〜5.0μmの範囲にあると、サーマルヘッドに対する摩擦の低減効果が大きく、その結果、印画時にサーマルヘッドと感熱記録材料の保護層とが接着ないし粘着する、所謂、スティッキング現象を効果的に防止することができる。
【0017】
本発明の保護層に用いる顔料としては、特に限定されるものではなく、公知の有機及び無機の顔料を挙げることができるが、中でも、炭酸カルシウム、酸化チタン、カオリン、水酸化アルミニウム、非晶質シリカ、酸化亜鉛等の無機顔料、及び尿素ホルマリン樹脂、エポキシ樹脂等の有機顔料が好ましい。特に、カオリン、水酸化アルミニウム、非晶質シリカがより好ましい。これらの顔料は1種を単独で用いてもよく、2種以上を併用してもよい。また上記顔料において、高級脂肪酸や高級脂肪酸の金属塩、又は高級アルコールからなる群より選択される少なくとも1種により表面被覆された顔料を、特に好適に使用することができる。上記高級脂肪酸としてはステアリン酸、パルミチン酸、ミリスチン酸、ラウリン酸等が挙げられる。
【0018】
これらの顔料は、例えば、ヘキサメタリン酸ソーダ、部分又は完全鹸化のポリビニルアルコール、ポリアクリル酸共重合体、及び各種界面活性剤等の分散助剤、好ましくは部分又は完全鹸化のポリビニルアルコール、ポリアクリル酸共重合体アンモニウム塩の存在下で、ディゾルバーやサンドミル、ボールミル等の公知分散機を用いて、前記の好ましい平均粒径にまで分散して使用されることが好ましい。即ち、顔料の50%体積平均粒径が0.1〜5.0μmの範囲の粒径になるまで微分散してから使用されることが好ましい。
【0019】
本発明の保護層には、印画トルクを軽減しヘッドマッチング性を改善する為に、上述の顔料と共に、液体及び固体状態の潤滑剤を含有する形態が好ましい。特に、汚れや滓(カス)の発生及び付着を防ぎながら且つ表面強度を向上させる観点より、上記保護層としては、(A)液体ないし融点が40℃未満の潤滑剤と(B)融点が40℃以上の潤滑剤を含有することが好ましい。
【0020】
上記の常温で液体の潤滑剤としては、シリコンオイル、流動パラフィン、ラノリン等が挙げられ、特にシリコンオイルが好ましい。これらのシリコンオイルはカルボキシル基、ポリオキシエチレン基等の置換基を有していてもよく、該シリコンオイルの粘度としては、100〜100000cpsが好ましい。
【0021】
上記の融点が40℃未満の潤滑剤としては、ポリオキシエチレンアルキルエーテル、ポリオキシエチレンアルキルエーテル酢酸塩、ポリオキシエチレンアルキルエーテル硫酸塩、ポリオキシエチレンアルキルエーテル燐酸塩等が挙げられ、中でも特に、下記構造式[001]で表されるポリオキシエチレンアルキルエーテル燐酸塩が好ましい。
【化1】
上式[001]中、Rはアルキル基を表し、該アルキル基は置換基によって置換されていてもよい。nは1又は2を表す。
上記の常温で液体の潤滑剤及び融点が40℃以下の潤滑剤は、単独で使用ないし2種以上を併用してもよい。
【0022】
上記の融点が40℃以上の潤滑剤としては、融点が160℃以下、好ましくは融点が140℃以下のものが望ましく、ステアリン酸アミド(融点100℃)、メチロールステアリン酸アミド(101℃)、ポリエチレンワックス(融点110℃以下)、融点50〜90℃のパラフィンワックス、グリセリントリ−12−ヒドロキシステアラート(融点88℃)、オレイン酸アミド(融点73℃)、オレイン酸亜鉛(融点75℃)、ラウリン酸アミド(融点84℃)、ステアリン酸アルミニウム(融点102℃)、ステアリン酸マンガン(融点112℃)、ステアリン酸亜鉛(融点125℃)、ステアリン酸カルシウム(融点160℃)、エチレンビスステアロアミド(融点140℃)、ステアリン酸マグネシウム(融点132℃)、パルミチン酸マグネシウム(融点122℃)、ミリスチン酸マグネシウム(融点131℃)、等を挙げることができる。
上記の融点が40℃以上の潤滑剤も、単独で使用ないし2種以上を併用してもよい。
【0023】
本発明の保護層においては、(A)液体ないし融点40℃未満の潤滑剤と(B)融点が40℃以上の潤滑剤を、(A):(B)=75:25〜51:49の質量比率で含有するのが好ましい。上記潤滑剤の質量比(A):(B)が、75:25を越えて成分(A)が多くなった場合、保護層の塗膜強度が低下し、裁断時に塗膜が剥離したり、ハンドリングの際に表面に傷が付き易くなることがあり好ましくない。また、該潤滑剤の質量比(A):(B)が、51:49を越えて成分(B)が多くなった場合、融解した潤滑剤が熱記録後に冷却され記録材料の表面で結晶化し、プリンター装置内の搬送ロールやガイド板に転写して汚染の原因になることがあり好ましくない。
尚、上記の潤滑剤の質量比(A):(B)としては、塗膜強度の向上と潤滑剤の結晶化の抑制を高いレベルで両立させる為に、70:30〜53:47の質量比がより好ましく、更に65:35〜55:45の質量比が一層好ましく、特に63:37〜57:43の質量比率が最も好ましい。
【0024】
本発明に用いる上記潤滑剤が水に不溶の場合には、分散又は乳化物の形で保護層に添加することが好ましい。また固体の場合には、(1)ポリビニルアルコール等の水溶性高分子や各種界面活性剤等の分散剤の共存下に、ホモジナイザーやディゾルバー、サンドミル等の公知の攪拌機で分散した水分散物の形で用いるか、(2)溶剤に溶かした後、水溶性高分子や各種界面活性剤等の分散剤の共存下に、ホモジナイザーやディゾルバー、コロイドミル等の既知の乳化装置で乳化分散した乳化物の形で用いられる。また液体の場合には、上記の様な乳化物の形で用いられる。分散物ないし乳化物の好ましい平均粒子径は0.1〜5.0μmであり、更に0.1〜2.0μmがより好ましい。ここで、該平均粒子径は、堀場製作所(株)製のレーザー回折粒度分布測定装置「LA−700」を用いて、透過率71±1%で測定した50%体積平均粒子径を表す。
【0025】
一方、ポリオキシエチレンアルキルエーテルやポリオキシエチレンアルキルエーテル酢酸塩、ポリオキシエチレンアルキルエーテル硫酸塩、ポリオキシエチレンアルキルエーテル燐酸塩等の水に可溶な潤滑剤は、溶解度を勘案した上で、任意の濃度で溶解して保護層に添加することができる。
【0026】
本発明の感熱記録材料の保護層は、裁断時の塗膜剥離やハンドリングの際の損傷を防止するために、JIS K6718に規定する表面硬さが、40g以上であることを要件とする。ここで、上記の表面硬さの試験法としては、連続加重式表面硬さ試験機を使用して、サファイア製の円錐型引っ掻き針(先端R:0.1mm)で、移動距離100mmの間に加重を0〜200gの範囲で連続的に変化させて保護層表面を引っ掻き、これを透過濃度1.2に発色させたものを透過光下で観察して、傷により濃度変化が発生した移動距離から表面硬さを求めたものである。
【0027】
この表面硬さと裁断ないしハンドリング時の傷付きの対応を検討した結果、本発明者等は、該表面硬さが40g以上、より好ましくは45g以上、特に好ましくは50g以上あれば、実用上の損傷問題は殆ど発生しないことを見出したものである。該表面硬さが40g未満であると、損傷に対応した濃度ムラが発生したり、加工端面で剥がれが発生し装置内に堆積したりして好ましくない。
【0028】

【0034】
また、本発明においては、上記バック層表面と保護層面との間の静摩擦係数が0.20〜1.0であり、動摩擦係数が0.10〜0.50であることが好ましい。上記の静摩擦係数が0.20未満又は上記の動摩擦係数が0.10未満であると、感熱記録材料を重ねる場合などに滑り易く或いは崩れ易くなり取扱い作業性が低下することがある。一方、上記静摩擦係数が1.0を越えると、又は上記動摩擦係数が0.50を越えると、記録装置内等での感熱記録材料の滑りが悪くなり搬送性が低下することがある。上記の静摩擦係数としては、0.25〜0.70がより好ましく、特に0.30〜0.50が好ましい。また、上記の動摩擦係数としては0.15〜0.40がより好ましく、特に0.20〜0.30が好ましい。

【0037】
また、感熱記録材料の透明性を良好なものとする観点から、上記バック層の屈折率は1.4〜1.8の範囲にあることが好ましい。また、バック層には色相改良の観点から、各種染料(例えば、C.I.Pigment Blue60、C.I.Pigment Blue64、C.I.Pigment Blue15:6など)を用いることができる。更にバック層には硬膜剤を用いてもよい。該硬膜剤の例としては、T.H.James著「THE THEORY OF THE PHOTOGRAPHIC PROCES;4th EDITION」(77頁〜87頁)に記載のある各種類が挙げられ、中でもビニルスルフォン系化合物が好ましい。
【0038】
(感熱記録層)
本発明の感熱記録層は、少なくとも発色成分を含有してなり、更に必要に応じて、その他の成分を含有することができる。

上記中間層は、前記感熱記録層上に形成されることが好ましい。該中間層は層の混合防止や画像保存性に対して有害なガス(酸素等)の遮断のために設けられる。使用するバインダーは特に制限はなく、系に応じてポリビニルアルコール、ゼラチン、ポリビニルピロリドン、セルロース誘導体等を用いることができる。中でもゼラチンは、高温では水溶液が流動性を有しているが、低温(例えば35℃以下)にすると流動性を失いゲル化する性質(セット性)に優れるため、支持体上に複数の層を形成するための塗布液を塗布、乾燥して前記層を設ける場合、複数の層を順次塗布乾燥する方法でも、また押し出しダイ方式等で一度に重層塗布、乾燥する方法においても、隣接する2つの層が相互に混合することが有効に防止され、得られる感熱記録材料の面状が良好になり、高品位な画像形成が可能な感熱記録材料を得ることができるため、細部まで明瞭な画像を形成する必要のある医療診断用記録材料に好適である。更に高い風速で乾燥しても面状が悪化しないので、製造効率が向上する。
【0095】
この様なゼラチンとしては、無修飾(未処理)ゼラチンあるいは修飾(処理)ゼラチンがいずれも支障なく用いられる。修飾ゼラチンとしては石灰処理ゼラチン、酸処理ゼラチン、フタル化処理ゼラチン、脱イオン処理ゼラチン、酵素処理低分子量ゼラチン等が挙げられる。また塗布性付与のため、種々の界面活性剤を添加してもよい。またガスバリアー性をより高めるために雲母等の無機微粒子を前記バインダーに対し2〜20質量%より好ましくは5〜10質量%添加してもよい。中間層用塗布液のバインダー濃度は3〜25質量%、好ましくは5〜15質量%程度が適切である。また中間層の乾燥塗布量は0.5〜6g/m2、好ましくは1〜4g/m2が適切である。
【0096】
本発明の感熱記録材料においては、支持体から感熱記録層が剥がれることを防止する目的で、マイクロカプセル等を含有する感熱記録層や光反射防止層等を塗布する前に、支持体上に下塗り層を設けることができる。
該下塗り層としては、アクリル酸エステル共重合体、ポリ塩化ビニリデン、SBR、水性ポリエステル等を用いることができ、層の厚みは0.05〜0.5μmが好ましい。
【0097】
上記下塗り層上に感熱記録層を塗布する際、感熱記録層用塗布液に含まれる水分により下塗り層が膨潤して、感熱記録層に記録された画像が悪化することがあるので、下塗り層にはグルタルアルデヒド、2,3−ジヒドロキシ−1,4−ジオキサン等のジアルデヒド類及びホウ酸等の硬膜剤を用いて硬化させることが好ましい。これらの硬膜剤の添加量は、下塗り素材の質量に応じて0.2〜3.0質量%の範囲で、所望の硬化度に合わせて適宜に添加することができる。
【0098】
本発明の感熱記録材料においては、画像の光による褪色および地肌かぶり防止のために光遮断層を設けてもよい。光遮断層は結合剤中に紫外線吸収剤を均一に分散させたものであり、この均一に分散した紫外線吸収剤が有効に紫外光を吸収することにより、紫外光によって地肌が変色したり、画像部が変色または褪色することを防止する。光遮断層の作成方法及び用いる化合物等については、ベンゾトリアゾール系、ベンゾフェノン系、ヒンダードアミン系等の紫外線吸収剤のほか、特開平4−197778号公報に記載されているものが利用できる。

(感熱記録材料の製造方法)
以下、本発明の感熱記録材料の製造方法について説明する。
本発明の感熱記録材料の製造方法は、支持体上に、感熱記録層形成用塗布液を塗布して感熱記録層を形成し、該感熱記録層上に、保護層形成用塗布液を塗布して保護層を形成し、更に必要に応じて、その他の層を形成してなる。
ここで、上記感熱記録層及び保護層を同時に形成してもよく、その場合、該感熱記録層形成用塗布液と保護層形成用塗布液とを支持体上に同時に重層塗布することにより、感熱記録層及びその上に保護層を同時に形成することができる。
【0100】
ここで使用される支持体は、本発明の感熱記録材料に使用される既に説明した支持体を用いることができる。また、上記感熱記録層形成用塗布液としては、前述した前記感熱記録層用塗布液を用いることができ、更に、上記保護層形成用塗布液も、前述した顔料及びバインダーを含有する保護層用塗布液を用いることができる。
また、上記その他の層としては、前述した中間層や下塗り層等のその他の層が挙げられる。
本発明の感熱記録材料の製造方法では、支持体上に、下塗り層、感熱記録層、中間層、保護層等を順次形成するために、ブレード塗布法、エアナイフ塗布法、グラビア塗布法、ロールコーティング塗布法、スプレー塗布法、ディップ塗布法、バー塗布法等の公知の塗布方法が用いられる。
本発明の感熱記録材料の製造方法によれば、前述した本発明の感熱記録材料を容易に確実に製造することができる。
【0101】
(サーマルヘッド)
本発明の感熱記録方式に用いられるサーマルヘッドは、感熱記録材料に接触する最上層の炭素比率が90質量%以上となる様に、既知の製膜装置を用いてグレーズ層上に発熱抵抗体と電極を具備する加熱素子に保護層を設けたものが好ましい。該ヘッド保護層は、2層以上でもよいが、少なくとも最上層は炭素比率が90質量%以上であることが好ましい。
【0102】
本発明の感熱記録材料は、保護層中に、特定の潤滑剤を特定の比率で含有するため、スティクや印加時の騒音が発生しにくく、且つ耐摩耗性に優れた、炭素比率が90%以上の最上層を有するサーマルヘッドに対しても十分なヘッドマッチング性を有するため、特に、医療用記録媒体等の高画質が要求される分野に好適に用いられる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a heat-sensitive recording material and a heat-sensitive recording method, and more particularly to a heat-sensitive recording material and a heat-sensitive recording method that are suitable for medical recording media and the like and have high image quality, no contamination, and high surface strength.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In the thermal recording method, (1) no development is required, (2) when the support is paper, the material is close to plain paper, (3) easy to handle, (4) high color density, (5 Since the recording apparatus has advantages such as simple, reliable and inexpensive, (6) low noise during recording, and (7) no maintenance required, it has been used in various fields in recent years. For example, applications are expanding in the fields of facsimiles and printers, labels such as POS, and medical images.
[0003]
In the field of medical images, a wide dynamic range of about 3.0 or more in saturation optical density is required. Therefore, the maximum thermal energy given to the thermal recording material is the thermal energy supplied to general thermal paper for fax machines. It will be as high as about 10 times. Therefore, there is a problem that the thermal head used for the recording of the thermosensitive recording material for medical use is worn quickly and has a short durability life. In order to wear the thermal head, a proposal has been made to provide a layer mainly composed of carbon, which is hard and chemically stable, on the head surface. In particular, by increasing the carbon ratio of the uppermost layer of the thermal head, it is possible to improve the wear resistance of the thermal head, thereby extending its life.
[0004]
However, a thermal head having a high carbon ratio on the surface has a low surface energy, and has a property that the lubricant contained in the protective layer of the heat-sensitive recording layer is difficult to wet during recording. As a countermeasure, a heat-sensitive recording material having a wax having a melting point of 40 to 100 ° C. in the protective layer and having a pigment in the protective layer less than the binder is proposed, and a highly transparent and sticky material is obtained. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1). The lubricant contained in the protective layer is added for the purpose of lowering the friction between the thermal head and the thermal recording material by melting when heated, but the melted lubricant is cooled after recording and crystallizes on the surface of the recording material. There is a problem of contamination by transferring to a transport roll or guide plate in the printer apparatus. When such a contaminant is transferred to the recording material, it causes light to be blocked when a transmission image is observed with a Schacusten or a light table, which is not preferable for diagnosis.
[0005]
On the other hand, a heat-sensitive recording material containing a liquid or a lubricant having a melting point of 40 ° C. or lower in the protective layer (see, for example, Patent Document 2) does not crystallize on the surface after recording or is difficult to crystallize. Although there are few concerns that cause the problem of contamination, there has been a problem that the coating film strength of the protective layer is lowered, the coating film is peeled off during cutting, and the surface is easily scratched during handling. The peeling of the coating film causes contamination in the apparatus. Also, the heat conduction from the thermal head changes in the scratched part, and the recording density is usually different from that in the peripheral part. Such density unevenness acts on sensitization or desensitization depending on the condition of the scratch. It helps prevent diagnosis.
[0006]
The scratches on the surface of the recording material are not only caused by the surface being rubbed in the transport process and subsequent processing steps until the heat-sensitive recording material applied with the recording layer coating liquid and dried is wound, It can also be caused by vibration during product transportation or contact with a guide plate provided in the transport path in the printer for recording. In particular, when a back layer containing a matting agent is provided on the surface opposite to the heat-sensitive recording layer for the purpose of adjusting glossiness or single-wafer property, the convex portions of the matting agent in the back layer are used for transporting the above products. In many cases, the surface of the recording layer that is in contact with the surface is rubbed and scratched by this vibration.
[0007]
Further, rubbing on the surface of the recording layer adhering to the surface of the back layer may be transferred and deposited on the platen roll in the printer while recording a large number of sheets. In such a portion where soot is accumulated, the pressing pressure against the recording head is locally increased, and as a result of the change in thermal conductivity, there is a problem that periodic density unevenness occurs. This residue must be removed by cleaning, which significantly impairs the maintenance-free property of the thermal printer.
[0008]
In order to eliminate the damage causing density unevenness, it is necessary to increase the hardness or strength of the surface layer of the heat-sensitive recording material. As a countermeasure for this, there has been proposed a thermosensitive recording material in which the adhesion between the support and the recording layer and the protective layer is defined as 6 or more in terms of evaluation score by the cross-cut tape method (for example, patents). This characteristic is difficult to correspond to the damage resistance of the surface of the recording material. In addition, a heat-sensitive recording material in which a water-soluble binder resin film has a tear strength of 1 kg / mm or more at 20 ° C. and 60% RH (see, for example, Patent Document 4), and tear strength after immersion in water at 20 ° C. for 30 minutes Has been proposed (for example, see Patent Document 5), but this cannot be said to correspond to the surface strength of the recording material. Further, a recording material (for example, see Patent Document 6) in which the dynamic hardness value of the protective layer of the heat-sensitive recording material is 40 or more at 120 ° C. has been proposed. It is intended for film properties at the time, and has little relation to the surface strength of the recording material.
[0009]
As means for improving printing torque or head matching properties, addition of an aliphatic amide compound having a specific structure (see, for example, Patent Document 7), modified polyethylene glycol, modified silicone oil, and a special resin filler, etc. It is disclosed (for example, see Patent Documents 8 to 11). However, only by adding these, the purpose may not be sufficiently achieved due to various restrictions on the addition amount and the like. For example, if head contamination occurs when too much is added, the amount of use is limited, or if the above-described modified lubricant or filler is used to an amount that can sufficiently reduce the printing torque, the printed image However, the present invention has not yet achieved a sufficient lubricating effect, that is, a reduction in printing torque without affecting other performances of the heat-sensitive recording material.

This measurement method is carried out by combining the test piece in the same direction on both sides in the vertical and horizontal directions so that the protective layer surface and the back layer surface of the thermosensitive recording material are in contact with each other. The moving speed of the test piece is 24.5 cm / min, and the number of tests is three.
