Abstract
A process for the production of microcapsules containing a core material is provided and includes the steps of providing a polar solvent, and adding thereto a dispersion of a tertiary aliphatic isocyanate and a core material in an oleophilic liquid and an amine-containing composition having at least three primary amine groups to form a mixture. The mixture containing these components is reacted to form microcapsules containing the core material. The tertiary aliphatic isocyanate preferably comprises an adduct of m-tetramethylxylene diisocyanate and trimethylolpropane. The core material may contain a dyestuff precursor which is capable of reacting with a color developer to form a color. The microcapsules containing dyestuff precursor may be used to coat a support sheet to form carbonless copy paper.
