Light-sensitive composition

Abstract

A light-sensitive composition is herein disclosed, which comprises at least one light-sensitive s-triazine compound represented by the following general formula (I) and at least one compound having at least one ethylenically unsaturated double bond and capable of causing addition polymerization: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 independently represent hdyrogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl or aryl group, or a group represented by the general formula: R.sub.5 --CO-- or N(R.sub.6) (R.sub.7)--CO-- (wherein R.sub.5 stands for a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl or aryl group; and R.sub.6 and R.sub.7 independently represent hydrogen atom or a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl or aryl group), provided that R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 may form a heterocyclic ring consisting of non-metallic atoms together with the nitrogen atom to which they are bonded; R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 represent hydrogen, a halogen, an alkyl or an alkoxyl; X and Y independently represent chlorine or bromine; and m and n are 0, 1 or 2. The light-sensitive composition has high sensitivity even after storing at a high temperature and effectively used for producing light-sensitive plates for making lithographic printing plates; proof plates for printing; films for overhead projector, intermediate print and photomasks; and photoresists.
