Abstract

Abstract To improve the adhesion of an antihalation layer to a polyethylene terephthalate film the antihalation layer is formed from a dye or finely divided pigment dispersed in a waterinsoluble alkali-soluble binder consisting of 60 to 85 percent by weight of polymethylene-hydroxybenzoic acid and 40 to 15 percent by weight of a copolymer of 20 to 50 percent by weight of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid, 15 to 79 percent by weight of an alkyl acrylate and 1 to 50 percent by weight of an alkyl methacrylate. When the photographic material comprising the antihalation layer thus formed is treated in a highly alkaline bath the antihalation layer can be rinsed away completely with pure water before entering the first photographic developer bath.
