Abstract: Thermally developable materials that comprise a support have a conductive backside layer that has increased conductive efficiency. Conductivity is provided by non-acicular metal antimonate particles that are present in an amount greater than 55 and up to 85 dry weight % at a coverage of from about 0.06 to about 0.5 g/m2, and the ratio of total binder polymers in the backside conductive layer to the non-acicular metal antimonate particles is less than 0.75:1 (dry weights). The level of conductive particles is reduced from previous uses without an unacceptable loss in conductivity. In addition, the dry thickness of the conductive layer is considerably reduced.
