HEAT RESISTANCE LUBRICITY IMPARTING COATING AGENT AND THERMAL TRANSFER RECORDING MEDIUM

摘要

To provide a heat-resistant lubricity imparting coating agent that can form a heat-resistant lubricous protective layer with good heat resistance and lubricity which will hardly cause chips due to contact with the thermal head, and which will hardly allow the chips to stick to and be fusion-bonded to the head, and a thermal transfer recording medium having the heat-resistant lubricous protective layer. The heat-resistant lubricity imparting coating agent of the invention contains a polydimethylsiloxane copolymer which includes a long chain alkyl group having a carbon number of 12 or more.
