  • Patent number: 4957947
    Abstract: A radiation-curable composition useful in forming an abrasion-resistant antistatic layer is comprised of a salt, such as an alkali metal fluoroborate, dissolved in a mixture of (1) a poly(alkylene glycol)diacrylate and (2) an acrylic monomer containing at least three acrylic ester groups. The composition can be coated in the form of a thin layer and cured by suitable means, such as an electron beam accelerator or a source of ultraviolet radiation, to form an antistatic layer of particular utility as a component of a photographic material.
