17 Claims, No Drawings COLOUR REACTING COMPONENTS BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to a method of producing colour reactant components for use with copying papers of the kind in which copying is effected by reacting together a colour former component and a colour reactant component, supported by a sheet of copying paper, herein referred to as a receptor sheet, to make a mark thereon, and particularly to the receptor sheets and the colour reactant components supported thereon.
2. Description of the Prior Art In known copying papers the colour former component may be in solution or suspension and premature development of the colour former is prevented by encapsulation or by incorporating the colour former solution-suspension as a stabilized emulsion. The colour reactants are acidic materials intimately bonded to the receptor sheet and are used to develop the colour formers from a colourless to a coloured form. Thus the colour former normally forms a coating of droplets of printing fluid on one face of a transfer sheet, incorporated or encapsulated in material which is rupturable by printing or writing pressures applied to the other side of the transfer sheet so as to release said printing fluid or colour former for transfer to the face of underlying receptor sheet bearing the colour reactant component to form a colour image thereon.
The colour reactants normally used are natural or synthetic inorganic minerals, usually acidic minerals such as silicate minerals, silica, alumina or silica/alumina and acidic resins. Many of the inorganic minerals used give good image intensity but the formed images often undergo a blue green colour transition during exposure to visible and ultra-violet light. Colour reactants of the acidic resin type can often overcome some of the aforesaid disadvantages but when used in their natural state or in the ground or powdered form the image intensity or initial image intensity, is not of acceptable commercial quality.
A main object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing an improved colour reactant component for. use in copying paper systems, in which colour reactant component, the aforementioned disadvantages are minimised or eliminated.
The present invention is based on the discovery that the use of metal aluminate salt in the colour reactant component results in an improved receptor sheet which gives images having increased stability to visible and ultra-violet light over those obtained when receptor sheets are used having colour reactant components including the natural and synthetic inorganic minerals used hitherto.
SUMMARY According to the present invention there is provided a method of producing a colour reactant component for coating a receptor sheet of the kind used in copying papers systems in which copying is effected by reacting together a colour former component and a colour reactant component supported on a receptor sheet, which method includes the steps of incorporating in an aqueous slurry of an inorganic mineral at least one soluble salt of the metals cobalt, cerium, copper, iron, manganese, lead, indium, lanthanum. barium, antimony, beryllium, strontium, nickel, zinc, calcium, cadmium, magnesium, chromium and tin, and at least one soluble aluminate salt, so as to precipitate at least one insoluble aluminate compound in said slurry, and thereafter incorporating a binding agent selected to bond the colour reactant component to the receptor sheet.
'In an embodiment of the invention the anion of the soluble metal salt is chosen from the halide, nitrate and sulphate ions.
Preferably sodium aluminate is used as a soluble aluminate salt.
An inorganic mineral which is selected to be inert towards the colour former, is preferred because of better rheology. A suitable inert inorganic mineral is kaolin. Calcium carbonate and mica, an illite clay, may also be used as inert inorganic minerals.
In a further embodiment of the invention, the inorganic mineral may be selected to act as a co-reactant,
for example calcine alumina and high surface area silica.
The precipitation of the aluminate salt in the presence of the inorganic mineral increases the reactivity of the aluminate salts over ordinary ground co-reactants due either to the precipitate being adsorbed onto the surface of the inorganic mineral and taking up the surface area characteristic of the inorganic mineral, or the inorganic mineral acting as a dispersing media for the precipitate as it forms.
The inorganic mineral and precipitate may then be combined with the binder, for example a styrene butadiene latex, and coated directly onto a paper sheet to form the receptor sheet, or it may be filtered first to remove residual soluble salts from the composition before the addition of the binder and subsequent coating.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The invention will now be further described with reference to the following examples which for purposes of comparison also describe colour reactant components which incorporate metal salts other than aluminates. In the Tables showing values of print intensity the lower the value the more intense the print.

The mixture so prepared was then coated onto a sheet of paper to form a receptor sheet. This composition was found to provide a receptor sheet surface which when used in conjunction with a transfer sheet supporting a leucodye in encapsulated form gave images having improved intensity and resistance to bluegreen colour transition with respect to images obtained using known forms of receptor sheets.
