PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve thermal responsibility and image preservation properties against heat, humidity, and chemicals by incorporating a specified diphenyl sulfone derivative and a hydroxy benzoic acid derivative as electron accepting compounds which color a usually colorless or hypochromic electron-donative dye precursor by a reaction during heating. SOLUTION: In a thermal recording material containing a usually colorless or hypochromic electron donative die precursor and an electron accepting compound which colors the precursor by a reaction during heating, a diphenyl sulfone derivative expressed by formula I and a hydroxy benzoic acid derivative are incorporated as electron accepting compounds. In the formula. X and Y can be the same or different from each other and are each straight chain or branched 1-12C saturated, unsaturated, or ether-bonded hydrocarbon, or the like; Rl-R6 are each halogen, alkyl, or alkenyl; m, n, p, q, r, t are each an integer of 0-4; a is an integer of 0-10. |
