Description
bination in which saponin is empolyed. r
include highly. branched chain alkyls. our invention will appear herein United States Patent O This invention relates to gelatin compositions containing certain salts of half esters of sulfosuccinic acid as coating aids therein.
In the application of gelatin coatings in the preparation of photographic elements such as to film base or paper,
either in the form of a single layer or as multi-layers coated simultaneously, the addition of a suitable-coating aid permits the obtaining of dried coatings free of such coating defects as repellencies, pencil line streaks and the like. However, dried coatings involving the usual synthetic surfactants are characterized by surface slipperiness resulting in handling difficulties and/or inadequate rewettability. The latter introduces difiiculties in the processing of photographic products Surfactants or coating aids which cause coatings having good rewettability often give a gelatin layer with a slippery surface.
In order to take advantage of the superior coating properties of synthetic coating aids, especially in simuitaner ous multi-layer applications, it has been desirable to use these agents in combination with saponin to achieve both adequate surface roughness and satisfactory revvettability. However, saponin, being a naturally occurring substance of. considerable variation from batch .to batch, its use may cause an increase in fog, a change in photographic sensitivity or sometimes may not even improve the rewettability of the gelatin layer obtained. Because of these variations in the quality of saponin, it is desirable that the combination of characteristics desired be obtained by the use of a single synthetic coating aid rather than by a com- One object of our invention is to provide coating aids which when employed in gelatin coating compositions will give layers having adequate rewettability without any apof our invention is to provide gelatin coating compositions which esterify one carboxyl of the sulfosuccinic acid Other objects of We have found that gelatin compositions containing alkali metal salts of certain half estersof sulfosuccinic acid 'in whichbranched chain alkyl alcohol radicals satisfy one of the carboxyl groups of the sulfosuccinic acid give gelatin coatings having adequate rewettability without any appreciable drop in frictional characteristics. It is desirable that the coating aid be present in the gelatin composition in an amount of 0.510%, 'based on the wegiht of the gelatin. The gelatin compositions in accordance with our invention may bethose which are used merely .to coat multiple gelatin layers which contain no sonsitized addenda or they may be gelatin-silver halide photographic emulsions.
The gelatin compositions in accordance with our invention are particularly useful in. the preparation of photographic elements, such as in coating "ice Patented Aug. 17, 19 65 and a developer spread greater than 4.00 cm? to give products which are satisfactory for actual use.
The coating aids in accordance with our invention are the sulfosuccinic acid ester salts having the formula 0 o Q(OC2H4)DO CH2CH( JOM SOgNa in which n is 0 to 10, M is an alkali metal substituent and Q is either a branched-chain. alkyl radical of 10-l 6 carbon atoms having at least 3 points of branching or in which R is a branched-chain alkyl radical of 8-14 carbon atoms having at least 2 points of branching. Examples of materials of this nature are the sodium salts of half esters of sulfosuccinic acid, having on one of the carboxyls a radical derived from p-tertoctylphenoxyethanol or its ethylene oxide derivatives and sodiumsalts of half esters of sulfosuccinic acid in which one of the carboxyls is esterified by tridecyl alcohol or its ethylene oxidederivatives. Tridecyl alcohol is a commerical material prepared from te'trapropylene by means of the oxo reaction and is a mixture of primary bra11ched-chainC alcohols. -Compounds of this nature may be prepared as v follows:

The various compounds prepared as described above and with varying proportions of ethylene oxide units (such as 1, 3, 5, 6 7.5 and the like) were incorporated in gelatin compositions in various proportions. Coatings prepared from those compositions exhibited good d veloper spreads and coefficients of friction greater than 0.300. Developer spread is determined by measuring the area covered by 1 ml. of developer delivered in a standard A developer spread greater than' 4 cm. is considered adequate for de- 'veloper wettability i n photographic uses.
