Abstract: 1,4-BIS(2'-Isopropyl-6'-methylanilino)anthraquinone and a polyethylene terephthalate film support containing this anthraquinone. The anthraquinone has high heat stability and good sublimation characteristics, and has no adverse effects on photographic characteristics when a polyethylene terephthalate film containing the anthraquinone is used as a film support.
