Slipping layer containing amino-modified siloxane and organic lubricating particles for dye-donor element used in thermal dye transfer.

摘要

A dye-donor element for thermal dye transfer comprising a support having on one side thereof a dye layer and on the other side a slipping layer comprising a lubricating material in a polymeric binder, the lubricating material comprising a linear or branched aminoalkyl-terminated poly(dialkyl, diaryl or alkylaryl siloxane) such as an aminopropyldimethyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane or a T-structure polydimethylsiloxane with an aminoalkyl functionality at the branchpoint, and organic lubricating particles such as micronized polyethylene particles or micronized polytetrafluoroethylene powder.
