Abstract
Abstract A coating composition for applying a vanadium pentoxide antistatic layer on a photographic element comprising from about 0.02 to about 0.08 percent by weight of vanadium pentoxide, from about 0.04 to about 1.6 percent by weight of a cellulose acetate binder polymer, said binder polymer having an acetyl content of from about 15 percent to about 35 percent by weight and the balance a solvent mixture of from 7.5 to 70 percent by weight of a C 1 -C 2 dialkyl ketone, from 10 to 60 percent by weight of a C 1 -C 4 alkanol and from 3 to 50 percent of water based on the weight of the solvent mixture.
