Abstract
Abstract Liquid petroleum sulfonates are useful alone or in combination with less lipophilic anionic surfactants in the preparation of dispersions of water-insoluble photographic addenda, such as couplers and ultraviolet absorbers, in hydrophilic colloid compositions. Such dispersions are useful in photographic elements. Crystallization of the addenda is inhibited and, for some addenda, other advantages are obtained.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
49 words
A dispersion of a water-insoluble photographic addendum selected from the group consisting of couplers, ultraviolet absorbers, dyes, redox dye releasers, developing agents, electron transfer agents, oxidized developer scavengers and image stabilizers, in a hydrophilic colloid composition which dispersion contains an oil-soluble petroleum sulfonate which is liquid at 20° C.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
49 words
A dispersion of a water-insoluble photographic addendum selected from the group consisting of couplers, ultraviolet absorbers, dyes, redox dye releasers, developing agents, electron transfer agents, oxidized developer scavengers and image stabilizers, in a hydrophilic colloid composition which dispersion contains an oil-soluble petroleum sulfonate which is liquid at 20° C.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
A dispersion of a water-insoluble photographic addendum which is an ultraviolet radiation absorber in a hydrophilic colloid composition which dispersion contains an oil-soluble petroleum sulfonate which is liquid at 20° C.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
A dispersion of a water-insoluble photographic addendum which is an ultraviolet radiation absorber in a hydrophilic colloid composition which dispersion contains an oil-soluble petroleum sulfonate which is liquid at 20° C.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
29 words
A dispersion of a water-insoluble photographic addendum which is a coupler in a hydrophilic colloid composition which dispersion contains an oil-soluble petroleum sulfonate which is liquid at 20° C.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
29 words
A dispersion of a water-insoluble photographic addendum which is a coupler in a hydrophilic colloid composition which dispersion contains an oil-soluble petroleum sulfonate which is liquid at 20° C.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
51 words
A method of preparing a dispersion comprising dispersing a water-insoluble photographic addendum in an aqueous hydrophilic colloid composition wherein an oil-soluble petroleum sulfonate which is liquid at 20° C. is added at any stage and wherein an anionic surfactant less lipophilic than the petroleum sulfonate is present during a dispersion step.
Claim 8
Independent Claim
51 words
A method of preparing a dispersion comprising dispersing a water-insoluble photographic addendum in an aqueous hydrophilic colloid composition wherein an oil-soluble petroleum sulfonate which is liquid at 20° C. is added at any stage and wherein an anionic surfactant less lipophilic than the petroleum sulfonate is present during a dispersion step.
