A recording material having antistatic properties.

摘要

A recording material comprising a sheet, ribbon or web support and a hydrophilic colloid binder layer incorporating an ionic polymer in the form of dispersed particulate material providing to said material an antistatic character, characterized in that (i) said ionic polymer is a cross-linked copolymer of an acrylic and/or methacrylic acid ester including 90-99 mole % of acrylate and/or methacrylate and 1 to 10 mole % of tetraallyloxyethane as polyfunctional crosslinking monomer, wherein in said copolymer at least 75 % of the ester groups have been transformed into alkali metal carboxylate groups, (ii) said ionic polymer is coated at a coverage of at least 1.4 g/m <2>, and (iii) said ionic polymer is present in admixture with said hydrophilic colloid binder in a weight ratio of at least 10/90.
