A coating composition for applying a vanadium pentoxide antistatic layer on a photographic element comprising from about 0.02 to about 0.08 percent by weight of vanadium pentoxide, from about 0.04 to about 1.6 percent by weight of a cellulose acetate binder polymer, said binder polymer having an acetyl content of from about 15 percent to about 35 percent by weight and the balance a solvent mixture of from 7.5 to 70 percent by weight of a C.sub.1 -C.sub.2 dialkyl ketone, from 10 to 60 percent by weight of a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkanol and from 3 to 50 percent of water based on the weight of the solvent mixture.

Antistatic layers for photographic elements and coating compositions for

Coating composition, antistat layer and photographic element having a V.sub.2 O.sub.5 antistat layer, the layer containing an amount of cellulose nitrate to prevent precipitation of the V.sub.2 O.sub.5 in the presence of film base.

Antistat coating compositions and antistat layers formed therefrom

A solvent mixture of 8 to 30 weight percent of n-propyl acetate 1-methoxy-2-propanol or cyclohexane, 50 to 55 weight percent of acetone and the balance methanol is employed in a coating composition for applying a polymeric antistatic layer.
