A thermosensitive recording material having at least a thermosensitive
recording layer on one surface of a support and a back coat layer on the
other surface of the support, wherein the black coat layer includes
multiple layers, and an outermost layer of the back coat layer furthest
from the support contains polyvinyl alcohol, an inorganic stratiform
compound, and an inorganic pigment. According to the thermosensitive
recording material curling caused by a change in environment or by
application of heat during recording can be prevented and a coefficient of
friction of a back coat layer can be regulated to within a predetermined
range.
