  • Patent number: 6875563
    Abstract: A coating composition for use in forming an overcoat layer in a photographic element, said composition comprising an aqueous solution of: a mixture of two or more surfactants; a hydrophilic binder; matte beads; and a lubricating agent; wherein one of the surfactants is represented by the following Formula (I) and is the only fluorosurfactant in the composition: Rf—CH2CH2—S-(A)-D??(I) where Rf is —(CF2)nCF3, n represents the number of CF2 groups and is 3 or 5 in at least 60% of the Rf groups present, and in the remainder of Rf groups n is 7, 9, or 11. A is a divalent linking group that includes substituted alkylene or alkylene (N-alkylene)amide; and D is an ionic group. A photographic element with an outermost layer containing the coating composition is also disclosed.
