Definitions

  • This invention comprises improvements in photographic processes employing bichromated colloids and relates particularly to what is known as the bichromate process in which colloidal base such as gelatine is impregnated with a bichromate solution so as to become tanned (i. e. of reduced solubility in water) under the influence of light.
  • the present invention accordingly comprises a process for the production of colloidal-base bichromate-sensitized films rendered more rapid by the inclusion of a soluble metal salt, (for example a salt of a rare earth) characterized by the fact that the soluble metal salt is incorporated with the colloidal base in its unsensitized state and the product dried prior to sensitization with bichromate.
  • a soluble metal salt for example a salt of a rare earth
  • the colloidal films according to this invention can withstand long'storage without. deterioration while impregnated with the soluble metallic salts before sensitization and, in addition, they can be stored for a time after sensi tization if desired without becoming insoluble or fogged as they would do were bichromation and impregnation with salts carried out simultaneously.
  • the salt employed is a salt (for example a chloride) of a rare earth metal the chromate of which precipitates approximately at a pH value lying between 7 and 8.5 measured at infinite dilution.
  • the salts of cerium (cerous) and lanthanum are found to be particularly suitable.
  • the soluble salt employed may comprise a salt of one or more of the group of metals copper, cobalt or nickel.
  • the soluble metal salt is incorporated with the colloidal base before it is spread out, as a film.
  • an emulsion is formed by dispersing approximately 3% by weight of dry water-insoluble pigment in a 25% solution of gelatine.
  • the mixture is agitated with the addition of a quantity of cerous chloride dissolved in a small quantity of water sufiicient to yield a 2% solution, by weight of the whole emulsion.
  • the emulsion is then evenly coated upon one side of paper of the kind usually sold for preparing resists on copper for etching for photogravure or for the process known as the carbon process, and the coating is allowed to dry.
  • an emulsion is formed by dispersing about 3%, by weight, of dry pigment into a 25% solution of gelatine. With this emulsion is added sufficient copper sulphate (or chloride) dissolved in a small quantity of water to give 1% solution, by weight, on the bulk of emulsion, which is afterwards coated on to one side of a photo paper. Alternatively, in the case of nickel and cobalt, about 2% of the sulphate or chloride is added. 45
  • the rapidity of the tanning action shows a marked increase compared with that obtained using paper not containing salts according to the present invention.
  • bicromate solution for example pure potassium, sodium or am monium bichromate
  • the rapidity of the tanning action is increased approximately three times, whilst with copper, cobalt or nickel salts the rapidity of the tanning action is approximately twice that of the usual paper, and thus the length of exposure to light for a given degree of tanning can be correspondingly reduced.
  • the light-sensitive paper may then be exposed behind a negative or behind a screen and positive according to the particular printing process in which the paper is being used.
  • I claim 1 A method of producing colloidal-base films which can berendered light-sensitive by treat,- ment with a solution of a bichromate, consisting in introducing into a colloidal base a soluble metal salt selected from the group consisting of copper, cobalt, nickel, and the rare earths and drying the colloidal base While in an unsensitized state.
  • a soluble metal salt selected from the group consisting of copper, cobalt, nickel, and the rare earths and drying the colloidal base While in an unsensitized state.
  • 3L A method of producing colloidal-base films asclaimed in; claim 2, wherein the soluble salt is a salt of a rare earth metal, the chromate of which precipitates approximately at a pH value lying between 7 and 8.5 measured at infinite I dilution.
  • a method of producing colloidal-base films which can be rendered light-sensitive by treatment with a solution of a bichromate consisting in introducing a soluble salt of one of the metals comprising the group copper, nickeljand cobalt latterin intothe colloidal base and drying the an unsensitized state.
