Claims
- 1. A color-developing agent for pressure-sensitive recording sheet which comprises a polyvalent metal salt of carboxylated terpenephenol resin which is produced by
- (i) condensing a cyclic monoterpene and a phenol in presence of acidic catalyst to prepare a terpenephenol resin,
- (ii) reacting the terpenephenol resin with carbon dioxide in presence of an alkali under high pressure and high temperature to prepare a carboxylated terpenephenol resin, and
- (iii) treating the carboxylated terpenephenol resin with an inorganic ammonium salt and at least one substance selected from the group consisting of oxides, hydroxides, chlorides, carbonates and sulfates of polyvalent metals, said phenol being used in an amount of 0.1-10 mole per mole of said terpene.
- 2. As color-developing agent according to claim 1, wherein said phenol is used in an amount of 0.4-5 mole per ml of said terpene.
- 3. A color-developing agent according to claim 1, wherein said terpenephenol resin has an average molecular weight of 350-1000 and a softening point of at least 70.degree. C.
- 4. The color-developing agent according to claim 1, wherein said polyvalent metal is zinc.
