Abstract

Novel binary acetal polymers are comprised of recurring units which include two six-membered cyclic acetal groups, one of which is unsubstituted or substituted with an alkyl or hydroxyalkyl group and the other of which is substituted with an aromatic or heterocyclic moiety. The binary acetal polymers are advantageously employed in photosensitive compositions in which they are utilized in combination with diazo resins. Such photosensitive compositions are especially well adapted for use in lithographic printing plates which can be developed with aqueous developing solutions.
