Photographic silver halide element containing cyclic phosphazene and salt antistatic composition

Claim 1

An element comprising a radiation sensitive layer comprising a silver halide emulsion and an insulating support having thereon an antistatic layer of a composition comprising a binder, not less than 1 percent of a cyclic phosphazene and an effective amount of a salt that complexes with the cyclic phosphazene to produce an antistatic layer, wherein said cyclic phosphazene may be represented as ##STR15## wherein the x is 3 or 4, R 1 represents the formula --(R 2 --O) n --R 3 wherein n is 0 to 50 and n is 2 or more in at least half of the total substituents, R 2 is randomly alkyl of from 2 to 4 carbon atoms, having from 2 to 4 carbon atoms in the straight chain between oxygen atoms, and R 3 is alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, haloalkyl, haloalkenyl, haloalkynyl, phenyl, substituted aromatic, amine, or thio of from 1 to 18 carbon atoms, W and X each independently represents ##STR16## wherein R 6 , R 7 , and R 8 each independently represents H, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, haloalkyl, haloalkenyl, haloalkynyl, phenyl, substituted aromatic, amine, or thio of from 1 to 18 carbon atoms.
