A premixture composition for the production of water-resistant photographic support material coated with polyolefin resin for light-sensitive materials of polyolefin resin and light-reflecting white pigment comprises a polyolefin resin formed as a copolymer of ethylene and an .alpha.-olefin. A light-reflecting white pigment is intimately mixed with the said polyolefin resin. Hydrocarbon side chains derived of an .alpha.-olefin in the copolymer comprise C.sub.1 to C.sub.16 carbon atoms. The contents of the copolymer of ethylene and .alpha.-olefin in the premixture composition amounts to from about 10 weight-percent to 100 weight-percent of the complete premixture composition. The light-reflecting white pigment is titanium dioxide. The titanium dioxide employed in the mixture has been subjected to a chemical after-treatment.

Pigment-containing premixture of titanium dioxide with olefin polymer

A plastic concentrate containing a pigment and/or filler for the production of a polyolefin coating compound for photographic support materials produced by means of a double screw extruder with degassing.

Plastic concentrate for photographic support material coatings

A support material for photographic coatings comprises a paper or film material coated on at least one side with polyolefin resin, and the resin contains a fluorine containing polymer.

Support material for photographic coatings

A water-resistant support material for light-sensitive materials is disclosed, which is coated on one side or two sides with a polyolefin resin. At least the polyolefin resin of the front-side coating is a copolymer of ethylene and a non-ethylene .alpha.-olefin. This copolymer allows to add to the coating mass a high content in light-reflecting white pigment.

Water-resistant support material for light-sensitive materials

A photographic paper support, which carries on both sides a water resistant coating of polyethylene, is disclosed. The polyethylene is a polyethylene of relatively low density of between 0.930 and 0.936 gram per cubic centimeter, which is produced according to high pressure polymerization. In particular, low density polyethylene (LDPE) produced according to the high pressure method with a density of 0.934 gram per cubic centimeter can be employed.

Photographic paper support with a water resistant coating of polyethylene

A paper support material for photographic layers, as well as a process for the manufacture of such a support material, includes coating the paper on at least one side with a polyolefin layer containing a polyalkylene glycol, preferably a polyethylene glycol, a polypropylene glycol, or a copolymer of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide in a quantity between 40 ppm and 1% by weight, relative to the total quantity of the polyolefin. The molecular weight of the polyethylene glycol can be between 100 and 35,000, preferably 400 to 20,000, that of the polypropylene glycol can be between 400 and 10,000, preferably between 2,000 and 4,000, and that of the copolymers of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide can be between 200 and 20,000. In addition to the polyalkylene glycol, the polyolefin layer advantageously contains a fatty acid derivative from the group of soaps and fatty acid amides.
