A heat-sensitive recording material comprises a heat-sensitive layer which is applied onto a base and contains a color-producing substance, which is usually colorless or only slightly colored, and an activator which, under the action of heat, causes the color-producing substance to produce a coloration. In accordance with the invention, the heat-sensitive layer contains a sulfonic acid ester, in particular of a secondary alcohol, as the activator.
