Abstract
The present invention is a photographic element containing a support, at least one light sensitive emulsion layer superposed on the first side of the support, and an outermost lubricant layer superposed on the support. The outermost layer includes more than 80 percent by weight of a composite wax particle. The composite wax particle includes a wax phase and a non-crosslinked polymer phase. The wax phase is greater than 80 percent by weight of a wax which has a melting point of greater than 30° C. In one embodiment the lubricant layer contains a fluoro containing compound. It is envisioned that the lubricant layer overlies a transparent magnetic layer. The total coating weight of the composite wax particle in the lubricant layer is in the range of from 1 to 300 mg/m,. Preferably, the fluoro compound contains at least one type of an ionic group or a nonionic group.
