(57) [Summary] [PROBLEMS] To provide a heat-sensitive transfer sheet which prevents sticking and which has a protective layer formed by a simple coating, using a plastic film as a base material. In a heat-sensitive transfer sheet having a transfer ink layer which is melted by heating on one surface of a base material of a plastic film, polyethylene wax and paraffin are added on the other surface of the base material to 100 parts by weight of a thermoplastic resin binder. 10 to 100 parts by weight of a substance selected from waxes such as wax, amide or ester of higher fatty acid, higher alcohol and phosphoric ester, and acting as a lubricant or release agent when melted by heating. A heat-sensitive transfer sheet comprising a protective layer made of the above composition. |
