7 Claims, No Drawings PROCESS FOR UNDERCOATING A SUPPORT OF PHOTOGRAPHIC MATERIAL BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to a process for undercoating a photographic material support composed of a polyolefin film or a polyolefin-coated film.
2. Description of the Prior Art A polyolefin surface is chemically inert, and therefore, when a photographic emulsion is directly coated on such a surface, the support does not adhere at all to the photographic emulsion layer. Accordingly, it has previously been the practice to subject such a polyolefin surface to an activating treatment such as a coronadischarge treatment, or a flame treatment, before applying a photographic emulsion layer to the surface.
Furthermore, in order to prevent the deterioration of the activating treatment effect with the passage of time before the application of a photographic emulsion, un-
dercoating of the activated polyolefin surface with a hydrophilic resin has previously been performed.
However, neither the activating treatment nor the undercoating after the activating treatment has given a practically satisfactory bond strength between the support and the photographic emulsion layer.
Extensive work on undercoating methods in an attempt to remove these defects of the prior art has finally led to the accomplishment of the present invention.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS:
The support used in this invention is a polyolefin film or a polyolefin-coated film obtained by coating at least one surface of a support made of a material such as paper, cellophane, cellulose acetate or polyester, with a polyolefin. By the term polyolefin, as used in the present specification, is meant polyethylene, polypropylene or mixtures thereof. The polyolefin film is obtained by an ordinary film-forming method such as the tubular film method, or flat die method. The polyolefin-coated film is obtained by the extrusion coating method or the adhering method using an adhesive.
The undercoat layer in the present invention consists essentially of gelatin. The undercoat layer is prepared by coating an aqueous solution of gelatin or a dispersion of an aqueous gelatin solution in an organic solvent compatible with water, onto the surface of a polyolefin support which has been subjected to the activating treatment. The gelatin solution preferably has a concentration of from 0.1 to 15 percent by weight.
Suitable activating treatments, known to those skilled in the art, can be employed depending on the characteristics desired. An example of a suitable activating treatment is disclosed in Tappi, Volume 48, No. 9; September, 1965; pps. -84.
The pH adjustment of the surface of the undercoat layer is effected by adding any water-soluble hydrophilic basic substance to the under-coat solution. Examples of typical basic substances include sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, and sodium bicarbonate, although it is to be expressly understood that any hydrophilic basic substance which performs the function of adjusting the pH to from 6.6 to 9.5, is operable.
The polyolefin film or coating of the support preferably has a thickness of from about 10 to microns and the undercoat layer preferably has a thickness of from about 0.01 to 10 microns.
In addition, if desired, the undercoat layer can have incorporated therein up to about 30 percent by weight of a low molecular weight carboxylic acid, such as, for example, formic acid, propionic acid, acrylic acid or salicylic acid. The acid is added to the layer in order to stabilize the colloidal gelatin in the non-soluble liquid medium.
The measurement of the pH of the undercoat surface was made by a color test using a litmus solution and a color test using a paper surface pH measuring solution (product of Kabushiki Kaisha Kyoritsu Rikagaku Ken kyusho).
The bond strength between the support and the photographic emulsion layer was measured as follows:
1. Bond strength in -a dry state after or before the photographic processing:
Checkerboard like, criss-crossing lines (the space between the lines being about 4 mm) were provided on the emulsion surface of the support using a razor blade. An adhesive tape was applied to it from above, and then peeled off quickly. When more than 90 percent of the emulsion surface remained unpeeled, the bond strength was evaluated as good.
2. Bond strength in a processing solution:
One scratch, i.e., score, was made on the emulsion surface while the material was immersed in a processing solution using a stylus, and the injured, i.e., scored, portion was rubbed with a finger tip at right angles to the injury. When the photographic emulsion layer did not come off more than the injury, the bond strength was evaluated as good.
In tests with the photographic material using the support and undercoat layer of the present invention, the bond strength between the support and the photographic emulsion layer was always evaluated as good.
The invention will now be described specifically by the following Examples which are presented for illustrative, rather than limitative purposes.
EXAMPLE I Polyethylene having a density of 0.92 g/cm was extrusion-coated onto both surfaces of a photographic raw paper having a unit weight of g/m in a thickness of about 30 microns. One surface of the polyethylene-coated paper onto which a photographic emulsion was to be coated was subjected to a corona discharge treatment using a corona discharge apparatus having a movable electrode and disposed at a position 0.8 mm away from said surface. The discharge output per unit length of the electrode was 10 W/cm, and the electrode 3 4 moving speed of 20 m/min. Thereafter, each under- Formulation 41 coating solution of the following formulations, Nos. 1 Gelatin 5 g and 2, was coated on to separate samples, each having salicylic acid g I the treated surface as described above, and dried.
