AI Technical Summary
Thermal recording materials face issues with insufficient alcohol resistance, heat resistance, and bleach resistance, leading to image fading and color changes in high-temperature, high-humidity environments or when exposed to chemicals like alcohol and chlorine bleach.
A thermal recording material comprising a thermal recording layer with a specific formulation of N,N'-diarylurea compounds and urea urethane compounds, such as 5-(N-3-methylphenyl-sulfonamide)-N''-bis-(3-methylphenyl)-isophthalic acid diamide, enhances alcohol resistance and heat resistance, particularly against microwave heating and chlorine-based bleaches.
The material exhibits improved alcohol resistance, heat resistance, and bleach resistance, maintaining image integrity under challenging conditions.
