Abstract
Abstract A photosensitive composition which substantially comprises a binder which is insoluble in water and soluble in aqueous-alkaline solutions, a photosensitive 1,2-naphthoquinone-diazide or a photosensitive mixture comprised of a compound which splits off acid upon exposure to light and a compound containing at least one acid-cleavable C-O-C group, and a thermally crosslinking compound comprising a urea or urethane-formaldehyde condensation product is disclosed. Also disclosed is a copying material prepared from this composition. The material has a good shelf life and can be processed as a positive or negative-working material, and also according to the photocomposing method. For development customary developer solutions are used.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
125 words
A photosensitive composition comprising in admixture: a polymeric binder which is insoluble in water and soluble in aqueous-alkaline solutions present in an amount sufficient to form a uniform film; a photosensitive 1,2-quinonediazide or a photosensitive mixture comprising a compound which splits off acid upon exposure to light and a compound containing at least one acid-cleavable C-O-C group; and a thermally crosslinking compound, wherein the thermally crosslinking compound comprises a condensation product according to the general formula ##STR3## wherein R represents hydrogen or an alkyl group and wherein the photosensitive compound or mixture is present in an amount sufficient to render exposed soluble in developer and the condensation product is present in an amount sufficient to cause hardening of exposes areas under the action of heat.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
