Definitions
- the invention relates to a photographic support with a two-sided coating which consists of a polyolefin mixture on at least one side and optionally further auxiliaries which have a positive influence on the use of the photographic support, e.g. White pigment, contains.
- base papers with thermoplastic synthetic resins and then to use them as layer supports for photographic layers, with water resistance, dimensional stability and economy being the main focus for the manufacturer.
- Coatings consist of polyolefins and olefin copolymers, which are usually applied by the process of extrusion coating in the melt state on both surfaces of the base paper.
- the "base paper” of the layer support can also comprise paper-resin mixtures or so-called synthetic papers instead of paper. In the following we speak of "base paper”, even if it is not a "paper” in the actual sense.
- the base papers to be used for the purpose according to the invention do not differ from those which are usually used for such substrates, for example photo base papers with a basis weight of 170 g / m 2. It is preferably an on paper provided with hydrophobic resin layers (predominantly polyolefin layers) on both surfaces, of which the resin layer closest to the photographic layers usually contains at least one light-reflecting pigment and is thus flatly protected against the ingress of water or photographic processing solutions. At the edges, however, the paper core is unprotected against the penetration of aqueous processing solutions. To prevent this, the base paper is usually hard sized. Both reactive substances such as alkyl ketene dimer and non-reactive substances such as higher fatty acids are known as sizing agents for photographic base papers.
- the reactive sizing agents are usually processed in a neutral environment using a cationic resin (neutral sizing).
- neutral sizing a cationic resin
- the non-reactive sizing agents are processed in an acidic environment with the addition of aluminum ions.
- the sizing agents with a hydrophobic effect are added to the fiber suspension and deposited on the fiber surface by adding auxiliaries.
- An example of such an aid in the case of acidic sizing is an aluminum salt; in the case of neutral sizing, this can be a cationic polyamide-polyamine-epichlorohydrin resin.
- other cationic substances such as cationic polyacrylamides, cationized starches or polyethylene imines are also suitable in certain cases for improving the retention of the reactive sizing agents in the paper sheet.
- the paper pulp becomes additional Added substances that improve paper strength, such as polyvinyl alcohol, anionic polyacrylamide and various starch derivatives.
- the surface of the paper can also be glued by applying high-molecular substances (surface sizing).
- high molecular weight compounds that have been used include substances such as e.g. Gelatin, oxidized starch and other starch derivatives, carboxymethyl cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol and others.
- the surface of the base paper is treated with an aqueous coating composition, which may contain other additives in addition to the above-mentioned high-molecular substances, such as e.g. optical brighteners, pigments, consumables, etc.
- a water-resistant layer support for light-sensitive, photographic materials is known in which a base paper is coated on one or both sides with polyolefin resin (for example US Pat. No. 3,411,908), and those in which the coating consists of polyolefin mixtures with a copolymer of ethylene and another ⁇ -Olefin consists (eg EP-OS 290 852) or consists exclusively of an ionomer resin with pigment content, in which the ionomer resin consists of ⁇ -olefins and ⁇ , ⁇ -unsaturated monocarboxylic acids (DE-OS 15 72 189).
- polyolefin resin for example US Pat. No. 3,411,908
- the coating consists of polyolefin mixtures with a copolymer of ethylene and another ⁇ -Olefin consists (eg EP-OS 290 852) or consists exclusively of an ionomer resin with pigment content, in which the ionomer resin consists of
- a light-sensitive layer containing silver halide is then applied to one of the synthetic resin layers.
- the light-sensitive layer can be a black and white as well as a color photography layer.
- the coating underneath which is to carry the aforementioned light-sensitive emulsion layer, has special requirements with regard to light reflection, whiteness, smoothness and sensitometric properties. For this reason, this coating may contain auxiliaries, such as white pigment, lubricants, antioxidants, optical brighteners, dispersing aids, antistatic agents and others, which have a positive effect on the use of the photographic support.
- hydrophilic layers such as gelatin-containing adhesion-promoting layers or light-sensitive layers
- aqueous photographic baths for development and fixation
- the cut edges or edges of the photographic layer support are particularly stressed here, since the chemicals of the photographic process can penetrate into the unprotected material. If the adhesion between the coating and the paper surface is insufficient, the substrate delaminates and fringes occur at the cut edges. Developer liquid can also penetrate the base paper at these points and discolor it.
- Another measure to improve adhesion is to irradiate the paper web with a corona discharge.
- a corona discharge For example, in US Pat. Nos. 3,411,908 and 3,501,298, and in British Pat. No. 1,005,631, treatment of the base paper with a corona discharge before coating is proposed in order to improve the binding of the polyolefin to the base paper.
- the corona process has some disadvantages. Corona discharge surface processing requires relatively expensive high voltage equipment. Too much surface treatment has a detrimental effect on the inner sizing of the base paper, as a result of which the resistance of the base paper at its cut edges to penetration of the developer liquid is impaired.
- Adhesion can also be improved by using chemical adhesion promoters. These include ethylene / vinyl acetate copolymers, ethylene / acrylamide copolymers, ionomers, terpolymers and the like.
- the adhesion promoters are applied to the base paper in the form of an adhesive layer (intermediate layer) made of aqueous dispersion.
- an adhesive layer intermediate layer
- the use of such adhesion promoters as is known for example from DE-PS 23 26 759 or Japanese laid-open specification 49-15423, usually does not create optimal liability.
- Another step is required to apply the adhesive coat, which in turn requires further installation.
- the photographic properties of the entire substrate can be adversely affected.
- reliable adhesion is to be ensured both without corona discharge and at extrusion speeds above 180 m / min.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen fotografischen Schichtträger mit einer Zweiseitenbeschichtung, die auf wenigstens einer Seite aus einer Polyolefinmischung besteht und gegebenenfalls weitere Hilfsstoffe, die die Anwendung des fotografischen Schichtträgers positiv beeinflussen, z.B. Weißpigment, enthält.The invention relates to a photographic support with a two-sided coating which consists of a polyolefin mixture on at least one side and optionally further auxiliaries which have a positive influence on the use of the photographic support, e.g. White pigment, contains.
Es ist bekannt, Basispapiere mit thermoplastischen Kunstharzen zu beschichten und sie dann als Schichtträger fotografischer Schichten zu verwenden, wobei Wasserfestigkeit, Dimensionsstabilität und Wirtschaftlichkeit für den Hersteller im Vordergrund stehen. Dabei werden u.a. Besehichtungen verwendet, die aus Polyolefinen und Olefincopolymerisaten bestehen, die üblicherweise nach dem Verfahren der Extrusionsbeschichtung im Schmelzzustand auf beiden Oberflächen des Basispapiers aufgebracht werden. Das "Basispapier" des Schichtträgers kann anstelle von Papier auch Papier-Kunstharz-Gemische oder sogenannte synthetische Papiere umfassen. Nachfolgend ist von "Basispapier" die Rede, auch wenn es sich nicht um ein "Papier" im eigentlichen Sinne handelt.It is known to coat base papers with thermoplastic synthetic resins and then to use them as layer supports for photographic layers, with water resistance, dimensional stability and economy being the main focus for the manufacturer. Among other things, Coatings are used, which consist of polyolefins and olefin copolymers, which are usually applied by the process of extrusion coating in the melt state on both surfaces of the base paper. The "base paper" of the layer support can also comprise paper-resin mixtures or so-called synthetic papers instead of paper. In the following we speak of "base paper", even if it is not a "paper" in the actual sense.
Die für den erfindungsgemäßen Zweck zu verwendenden Basispapiere unterscheiden sich nicht von denen, die üblicherweise für derartige Schichtträger verwendet werden, beispielsweise Fotobasispapiere mit einem Flächengewicht von 170 g/m². Vorzugsweise handelt es sich um ein auf beiden Oberflächen mit hydrophoben Harzschichten (vorwiegend Polyolefinschichten) versehenes Papier, von denen die den fotografischen Schichten nächstliegende Harzschicht üblicherweise wenigstens ein lichtreflektierendes Pigment enthält und somit flächig gegen das Eindringen von Wasser oder fotografischen Verarbeitungslösungen geschützt ist. An den Kanten jedoch ist der Papierkern gegen das Eindringen wässriger Verarbeitungslösungen ungeschützt. Um diesem vorzubeugen, ist das Basispapier üblicherweise hart geleimt. Als Leimungsmittel für fotografische Basispapiere sind sowohl reaktive Substanzen, wie z.B. Alkylketendimer, als auch nicht reaktive Substanzen, wie z.B. höhere Fettsäuren bekannt.The base papers to be used for the purpose according to the invention do not differ from those which are usually used for such substrates, for example photo base papers with a basis weight of 170 g / m 2. It is preferably an on paper provided with hydrophobic resin layers (predominantly polyolefin layers) on both surfaces, of which the resin layer closest to the photographic layers usually contains at least one light-reflecting pigment and is thus flatly protected against the ingress of water or photographic processing solutions. At the edges, however, the paper core is unprotected against the penetration of aqueous processing solutions. To prevent this, the base paper is usually hard sized. Both reactive substances such as alkyl ketene dimer and non-reactive substances such as higher fatty acids are known as sizing agents for photographic base papers.
Die reaktiven Leimungsmittel werden üblicherweise unter Mitverwendung eines kationischen Harzes im neutralen Milieu verarbeitete (Neutralleimung). Die nicht reaktiven Leimungsmittel werden unter Zugabe von Aluminiumionen im sauren Milieu verarbeitet.The reactive sizing agents are usually processed in a neutral environment using a cationic resin (neutral sizing). The non-reactive sizing agents are processed in an acidic environment with the addition of aluminum ions.
Darüber hinaus ist auch eine Kombination beider Leimungsverfahren bekannt (z.B. DE-OS 32 38 865).A combination of both sizing processes is also known (e.g. DE-OS 32 38 865).
Die hydrophobierend wirkenden Leimungsmittel werden der Fasersuspension beigemischt und durch Zugabe von Hilfsmittel auf der Faseroberfläche abgelagert. Ein solches Hilfsmittel ist bei der sauren Leimung beispielsweise ein Aluminiumsalz, bei der Neutralleimung kann das ein kationisches Polyamid-Polyamin-Epichlorhydrin-Harz sein. Aber auch andere kationische Substanzen wie kationische Polyacrylamide, kationisierte Stärken oder Polythylenimine eignen sich in bestimmten Fällen zur Verbesserung der Retention der reaktiven Leimungsmittel im Papierblatt.The sizing agents with a hydrophobic effect are added to the fiber suspension and deposited on the fiber surface by adding auxiliaries. An example of such an aid in the case of acidic sizing is an aluminum salt; in the case of neutral sizing, this can be a cationic polyamide-polyamine-epichlorohydrin resin. However, other cationic substances such as cationic polyacrylamides, cationized starches or polyethylene imines are also suitable in certain cases for improving the retention of the reactive sizing agents in the paper sheet.
Da die harte Leimung des Basispapiers einen Festigkeitsverlust verursacht, werden die Papiermasse zusätzlich Substanzen zugegeben, die die Papierfestigkeit verbessern, wie z.B. Polyvinylalkohol, anionisches Polyacrylamid und verschiedene Stärkederivate.Since the hard sizing of the base paper causes a loss of strength, the paper pulp becomes additional Added substances that improve paper strength, such as polyvinyl alcohol, anionic polyacrylamide and various starch derivatives.
Außer der inneren Hydrophobierung kann die Oberfläche des Papiers durch das Auftragen hochmolekularer Substanzen zusätzlich verleimt werden (Oberflächenleimung). Zu den hochmolekularen Verbindungen, die hierzu eine Verwendung gefunden haben, zählen Substanzen wie z.B. Gelatine, oxydierte Stärke und andere Stärkederivate, Carboxymethylcellulose, Polyvinylalkohol und andere.In addition to the internal hydrophobization, the surface of the paper can also be glued by applying high-molecular substances (surface sizing). The high molecular weight compounds that have been used include substances such as e.g. Gelatin, oxidized starch and other starch derivatives, carboxymethyl cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol and others.
Die Oberfläche des Basispapier wird mit einer wässrigen Beschichtungsmasse behandelt, die neben den oben genannten hochmolekularen Substanzen noch andere Zusätze enthalten kann, wie z.B. optische Aufheller, Pigmente, Vernutzungsmittel u.a.The surface of the base paper is treated with an aqueous coating composition, which may contain other additives in addition to the above-mentioned high-molecular substances, such as e.g. optical brighteners, pigments, consumables, etc.
Beide Leimungsarten (Innenleimung und Oberflächenleimung) wirken sich nachteilig auf die Haftung des auf das geleimte Basispapier anschließend aufgetragenen Polyolefinüberzugs aus. Dadurch sind gemäß Stand der Technik auch nur begrenzte Arbeitsgeschwindigkeiten bei der Extrusionsbeschichtung möglich, die in der Regel höchstens 150 - 180 m/min betragen.Both types of sizing (internal sizing and surface sizing) have a disadvantageous effect on the adhesion of the polyolefin coating subsequently applied to the sized base paper. As a result, according to the state of the art, only limited working speeds are possible for the extrusion coating, which are generally at most 150-180 m / min.
Bekannt ist ein wasserfester Schichtträger für lichtempfindliche, fotografische Materialien, bei dem ein Basispapier ein- oder beidseitig mit Polyolefinharz überzogen ist (z.B. US-PS 34 11 908), und solche bei denen der Überzug aus Polyolefinmischungen mit einem Copolymerisat von Ethylen und einem anderen α-Olefin besteht, (z.B. EP-OS 290 852) oder ausschließlich aus einem Ionomer-Harz mit Pigmentgehalt besteht, bei dem das Ionomer-Harz aus α-Olefinen und α, ß-ungesättigten Monocarbonsäuren besteht (DE-OS 15 72 189).A water-resistant layer support for light-sensitive, photographic materials is known in which a base paper is coated on one or both sides with polyolefin resin (for example US Pat. No. 3,411,908), and those in which the coating consists of polyolefin mixtures with a copolymer of ethylene and another α -Olefin consists (eg EP-OS 290 852) or consists exclusively of an ionomer resin with pigment content, in which the ionomer resin consists of α-olefins and α, β-unsaturated monocarboxylic acids (DE-OS 15 72 189).
Auf eine der Kunstharzschichten wird anschließend eine Silberhalogenid enthaltende lichtempfindliche Schicht aufgebracht. Bei der lichtempfindlichen Schicht kann es sich sowohl um eine Schwarz-Weiß- als auch um Farbfotografie-Schicht handeln. An die darunter liegende Beschichtung, welche die vorgenannte lichtempfindliche Emulsionsschicht tragen soll, werden spezielle Anforderungen hinsichtlich der Lichtreflektion, Weiße, Glätte und sensitometrischen Eigenschaften gestellt. Deshalb enthält diese Beschichtung gegebenenfalls Hilfsstoffe, wie Weißpigment, Gleitmittel, Antioxidantien, optische Aufheller, Dispergierhilfsmittel, Antistatika und andere, die die Anwendung des fotografischen Schichtträgers positiv beeinflussen.A light-sensitive layer containing silver halide is then applied to one of the synthetic resin layers. The light-sensitive layer can be a black and white as well as a color photography layer. The coating underneath, which is to carry the aforementioned light-sensitive emulsion layer, has special requirements with regard to light reflection, whiteness, smoothness and sensitometric properties. For this reason, this coating may contain auxiliaries, such as white pigment, lubricants, antioxidants, optical brighteners, dispersing aids, antistatic agents and others, which have a positive effect on the use of the photographic support.
Das spätere Auftragen hydrophiler Schichten, wie gelatinehaltige Haftvermittlungsschichten oder lichtempfindliche Schichten, sowie die Anwendung wäßriger fotografischer Bäder zur Entwicklung und Fixierung, erfordern eine besonders feste Haftung der Beschichtung auf dem Basispapier. Die Schnittkanten oder Ränder des fotografischen Schichtträgers sind hierbei besonders beansprucht, da die Chemikalien des fotografischen Prozesses in das ungeschützte Material eindringen können. Wenn die Haftung zwischen der Beschichtung und der Papieroberfläche unzureichend ist, delaminiert der Schichtträger und es entstehen Fransen an den Schnittkanten. Auch können an diesen Stellen Entwicklerflüssigkeit in das Basispapier eindringen und dieses verfärben.The subsequent application of hydrophilic layers, such as gelatin-containing adhesion-promoting layers or light-sensitive layers, and the use of aqueous photographic baths for development and fixation, require the coating to be particularly firmly adhered to the base paper. The cut edges or edges of the photographic layer support are particularly stressed here, since the chemicals of the photographic process can penetrate into the unprotected material. If the adhesion between the coating and the paper surface is insufficient, the substrate delaminates and fringes occur at the cut edges. Developer liquid can also penetrate the base paper at these points and discolor it.
Es sind verschiedene Maßnahmen zur Verbesserung der Haftung der hauptsächlich aus Polyolefinen bestehenden Beschichtung auf einem Basispapier bekannt. So kann die Erhöhung der Extrusionstemperatur des geschmolzenen Polyolefins zur Verstärkung der Haftung führen. Zu hohe Extrusionstemperaturen wirken sich aber ungünstig aus, weil durch sie insbesondere bei Anwesenheit von Titandioxyd als Weißpigment, das auch katalytisch wirksam ist, der Abbau der Kunstharze beschleunigt wird. Diese Zersetzung äußert sich einerseits als Vergilbung, andererseits durch Entstehung von Zersetzungsprodukten, die zu einer Schleierbildung in der fotografischen Schicht führen.Various measures are known for improving the adhesion of the coating, which mainly consists of polyolefins, to a base paper. For example, increasing the extrusion temperature of the molten polyolefin can increase adhesion. However, extrusion temperatures that are too high have an unfavorable effect, because they make them especially in the presence of titanium dioxide as a white pigment, which is also catalytically active, the degradation of the synthetic resins is accelerated. This decomposition manifests itself on the one hand as yellowing, and on the other hand through the formation of decomposition products which lead to the formation of fog in the photographic layer.
Eine andere Maßnahme zur Haftverbesserung ist die Bestrahlung der Papierbahn durch eine Corona-Entladung. Es wird beispielsweise in den US-PS 3 411 908 und 3 501 298, sowie in der GB-PS 1 005 631 eine Behandlung des Basispapiers mit einer Corona-Entladung vor dem Beschichten vorgeschlagen, um die Bindung des Polyolefins mit dem Basispapier zu verbessern. Das Corona-Verfahren besitzt jedoch einige Nachteile. Die Oberflächenbearbeitung mittels Corona-Entladung erfordert relativ kostspielige Hochspannungs-Einrichtungen. Eine zu starke Oberflächenbearbeitung wirkt sich auf die Innenleimung des Basispapiers schädigend aus, wodurch die Resistenz des Basispapieres an seinen Schnittkanten gegen eine Durchdringung der Entwicklerflüssigkeit beeinträchtigt wird.Another measure to improve adhesion is to irradiate the paper web with a corona discharge. For example, in US Pat. Nos. 3,411,908 and 3,501,298, and in British Pat. No. 1,005,631, treatment of the base paper with a corona discharge before coating is proposed in order to improve the binding of the polyolefin to the base paper. However, the corona process has some disadvantages. Corona discharge surface processing requires relatively expensive high voltage equipment. Too much surface treatment has a detrimental effect on the inner sizing of the base paper, as a result of which the resistance of the base paper at its cut edges to penetration of the developer liquid is impaired.
Weiterhin kann die Haftung verbessert werden durch Verwendung chemischer Haftvermittler. Hierzu gehören Ethylen/Vinylacetat-Copolymerisate, Ethylen/Acrylamid-Copolymerisate, Ionomere, Terpolymere und dergleichen. Die Haftvermittler werden in Form eines Haftstriches (Zwischenschicht) aus wäßriger Dispersion auf das Basispapier aufgetragen. Die Verwendung solcher Haftvermittler, wie sie beispielsweise aus der DE-PS 23 26 759 oder der japanischen Offenlegungsschrift 49-15423 bekannt ist, schafft jedoch meist keine optimale Haftung. Es ist ein weiterer Schritt für das Aufbringen des Haftstriches erforderlich, was wiederum weitere Installation erfordert. Auch hier können die fotografischen Eigenschaften des gesamten Schichtträgers negativ beeinflußt werden.Adhesion can also be improved by using chemical adhesion promoters. These include ethylene / vinyl acetate copolymers, ethylene / acrylamide copolymers, ionomers, terpolymers and the like. The adhesion promoters are applied to the base paper in the form of an adhesive layer (intermediate layer) made of aqueous dispersion. However, the use of such adhesion promoters, as is known for example from DE-PS 23 26 759 or Japanese laid-open specification 49-15423, usually does not create optimal liability. Another step is required to apply the adhesive coat, which in turn requires further installation. Here, too, the photographic properties of the entire substrate can be adversely affected.
Schließlich ist als Maßnahme zur Verbesserung der Haftung bekannt, Kunstfasern in die Masse das Basispapiers einzuarbeiten. Diese Maßnahme wird zum Beispiel in der DE-PS 23 44 367 beschrieben. Hierbei ist nachteilig, daß eine besondere Papiermischung gesondert hergestellt werden muß.Finally, as a measure to improve the adhesion, it is known to incorporate synthetic fibers into the mass of the base paper. This measure is described for example in DE-PS 23 44 367. The disadvantage here is that a special paper mixture has to be prepared separately.
Es ist außerdem bekannt, daß bei der Extrusionsbeschichtung fotografischer Basispapiere nur begrenzte Arbeitsgeschwindigkeiten, etwa 150-180 m/min möglich sind.It is also known that only limited working speeds, approximately 150-180 m / min, are possible in the extrusion coating of photographic base papers.
Es stellt sich demnach als Aufgabe für die Erfindung, bei einem Schichtträger der eingangs genannten Art die Haftung zwischen einem Basispapier und der Polyolefinschicht über das bisherige Maß hinaus zu verbessern und kostspielige und umständliche Zusatzmaßnahmen, wie sie vorgehend beschrieben worden sind, zu vermeiden. Darüberhinaus soll eine sichere Haftung sowohl ohne Corona-Entladung als auch bei Extrusionsgeschwindigkeiten über 180 m/min gewährleistet werden.It is therefore an object of the invention to improve the adhesion between a base paper and the polyolefin layer in a layer support of the type mentioned above and to avoid costly and cumbersome additional measures, as described above. In addition, reliable adhesion is to be ensured both without corona discharge and at extrusion speeds above 180 m / min.
Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch einen fotografischen Schichtträger der eingangs genannten Art, der dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, daß die Polyolefinmischung für die Beschichtung wenigstens ein Copolymerisat eines α-Olefins mit einer α,β-ungesättigten Carbonsäure enthält.The object is achieved by a photographic support of the type mentioned at the outset, which is characterized in that the polyolefin mixture for the coating contains at least one copolymer of an α-olefin with an α, β-unsaturated carboxylic acid.
Vorzugsweise handelt es sich bei dem Polyolefin um ein Polvethylen (PE) oder Polypropylen (PP). Das hier verwendete Polyethylen kann HDPE (High Density Polyehtylen), LDPE (Low Density Polyethylen), LLDPE (Linear Low Density Polyethylen) oder eine Mischung dieser PE-Typen sein. Der Anteil des Copolymerisats am Gemisch beträgt wenigstens 5 Gew.-%, vorzugsweise zwischen 20 und 80 Gew.-%. Dabei handelt es sich um Copolymerisat, dessen α-Olefin vorzugsweise Ethylen oder Propylen ist. Die α,β-ungesättigte Carbonsäure hat einen Anteil im Copolymerisat von wenigstens 0,1 Gew.-%, vorzugsweise zwischen 0,5 bis 15 Gew.-%.The polyolefin is preferably a polypropylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP). The polyethylene used here can be HDPE (High Density Polyethylene), LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene), LLDPE (Linear Low Density Polyethylene) or a mixture of these PE types. The proportion of the copolymer in the mixture is at least 5% by weight, preferably between 20 and 80% by weight. It is a copolymer whose α-olefin is preferably ethylene or propylene. The α, β-unsaturated carboxylic acid has a proportion in the copolymer of at least 0.1% by weight, preferably between 0.5 to 15% by weight.
Oberraschend hat es sich herausgestellt, daß die Zugabe eines α-Olefins/α,β-ungesättigten Carbonsäure-Copolymerisats der vorgenannten Art die Haftung der Beschichtung zur Oberfläche des Basispapiers auf hervorragende Weise verbessert.It has surprisingly been found that the addition of an α-olefin / α, β-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer of the aforementioned type improves the adhesion of the coating to the surface of the base paper in an outstanding manner.
Die hervorragenden Haftungseigenschaften der Beschichtung lassen sich insbesondere dadurch auch in einem wirtschaftlichen Vorteil ummünzen, daß die Arbeitsgeschwindigkeit bei der Herstellung des fotografischen Schichtträgers gemäß Erfindung wesentlich gegenüber der bei anderen Haftungsvermittlungsmaßnahmen verbessert ist. Die Härte (Kristallinität) der Polyolefinschicht ist nicht meßbar verändert. Die Verarbeitungsgeschwindigkeit ist jedoch wesentlich gegenüber der Verarbeitungsgeschwindigkeit bei anderen Beschichtungen erhöht. Diese Verarbeitungsgeschwindigkeit kann nochmals um einen gewissen Betrag erhöht werden, wenn das Basispapier zusätzlich eine durch Corona-Entladung erzeugte haftverbessernde Struktur erhält.The excellent adhesion properties of the coating can also be converted into an economic advantage in particular in that the working speed in the production of the photographic layer support according to the invention is significantly improved compared to that in other adhesion-promoting measures. The hardness (crystallinity) of the polyolefin layer is not measurably changed. However, the processing speed is significantly increased compared to the processing speed with other coatings. This processing speed can be increased again by a certain amount if the base paper additionally has an adhesion-improving structure produced by corona discharge.
Es ist auch möglich, die Beschichtung selbst außenseitig zur Haftverbesserung in Bezug auf die aufliegende Emulsion mit einer Corona-Entladung zu behandeln.It is also possible to treat the coating itself on the outside with a corona discharge in order to improve the adhesion with respect to the emulsion lying thereon.
Bei den α,β-ungesättigten Carbonsäuren handelt es sich um Monocarbonsäuren, wie z.B. Acryl- und Methacrylsäure, oder auch um Dicarbonsäuren, wie z.B. Itaconsäure (Methylen-Bernsteinsäure). Bei den Dicarbonsäuren sind diejenigen gut geeignet, die nicht zur Anhydridbildung neigen.The α, β-unsaturated carboxylic acids are monocarboxylic acids, such as acrylic and methacrylic acid, or else dicarboxylic acids, such as itaconic acid (methylene succinic acid). In the case of dicarboxylic acids, those are suitable which do not tend to form anhydrides.
