Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Coating compositions and image forming materials made therefrom, the coating compositions comprising at least one non-photosensitive source of reducible silver ions, at least one reducing agent capable of reducing the reducible silver ions, a first binder comprising vinyl butyral repeat units and vinyl alcohol repeat units, a second binder comprising vinyl butyral repeat units and vinyl alcohol repeat units, the second binder having a composition differing from that of the first binder, and a third binder comprising vinyl pyrrolidone repeat units and vinyl acetate repeat units.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed: 1. A coating composition comprising: at least one non-photosensitive source of reducible silver ions, at least one reducing agent capable of reducing the reducible silver ions, a first binder comprising vinyl butyral repeat units and vinyl alcohol repeat units, a second binder comprising vinyl butyral repeat units and vinyl alcohol repeat units, the second binder having a composition differing from that of the first binder, and a third binder comprising vinyl pyrrolidone repeat units and vinyl acetate repeat units. 2. The coating composition according to claim 1 , wherein the coating composition comprises 5 percent by weight of the third binder. 3. The coating composition according to claim 1 , further comprising benzotriazole. 4. An image forming material comprising a support and having thereon at least one thermally developable imaging layers comprising in reactive association: at least one non-photosensitive source of reducible silver ions, at least one reducing agent capable of reducing the reducible silver ions, a first binder comprising vinyl butyral repeat units and vinyl alcohol repeat units, a second binder comprising vinyl butyral repeat units and vinyl alcohol repeat units, the second binder having a composition differing from that of the first binder, and a third binder comprising vinyl pyrrolidone repeat units and vinyl alcohol repeat units. 5. The image forming material according to claim 4 , further comprising benzotriazole.
