Antistatic coating compositions and elements.

摘要

An antistatic coating composition useful in forming conductive layers comprises a conductive, waterdispersible, particulate polymer and a crosslinkable latex binder. The crosslinkable latex has a first glass transition temperature before crosslinking less than 50 DEG C and a second glass transition temperature after crosslinking an coalescing greater then 50 DEG C wherein the first and second glass transition temperatures differ by at least 4 DEG C. The coating composition can be coated on a variety of supports to produce conductive elements. The coating compositions are particularly useful in forming photographic elements which are resistant to the buildup of static charge and ferrotyping.
