Abstract
Abstract Disclosed is a support for a photographic material which comprises a multilayer film in which a layer of a copolymerized polyester is laminated on at least one surface of a polyester layer, wherein the copolymerized polyester contains an aromatic dicarboxylic acid having a metal sulfonate group as a copolymer component in an amount of 2 to 7 mole % based on all ester bond units and further a polyalkylene glycol as a copolymer component in an amount of 3 to 10% by weight based on the total weight of a polyester which is a reaction product.
