Abstract

A composition comprising a mixture of (1) from 5 to 95 percent by weight of a copolymer comprising from 55 to 85 percent by weight of vinylidene chloride, 5 to 35 percent by weight of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer, and 0 to 20 percent by weight of an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid, and (2) from 5 to 95 percent by weight of a polymeric carboxy-ester-lactone, is useful as a temporary barrier between reactants in photographic products. The barrier is particularly useful as a process timing layer in color image transfer film units.
