Photosensitive mixture containing an ester or amide of 1,2-naphthoquinone diazide sulfonic or carboxylic acid, a phenolic binder resin and a bis-(4-hydroxyphenyl) speed enhancing compound

摘要

The invention relates to a photosensitive mixture which essentially contains an ester or an amide of a 1,2-naphthoquinonediazide sulfonic or carboxylic acid as the photosensitive compound, a phenolic resin which is soluble in aqueous-alkaline solutions and insoluble in water as the binder, and an additional speed enhancer, which corresponds to the general formula <IMAGE> where X denotes a single bond, CH2, SO2, S, CO, C(CH3)2, CHCC13 or <IMAGE> Biphenyldiol-(4,4'), bis-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-ketone, 2,2-bis-(4-hydroxy-phenyl)-propane or bis-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-sulfone are described as suitable compounds. The mixture is employed as photosensitive layers in recording materials suitable for the production of printing forms. The invention provides for an increased photospeed, without any disadvantages occurring in respect of the copying or printing behavior.
