Abstract

This invention relates to the preparation of antihalation layers for photographic film. The invention is an improved process for the preparation of colloidal manganese dioxide dispersions adapted for use in antihalation layers, the process comprising adding a reducing agent to an aqueous solution comprising a water soluble permanganate salt and a dispersing agent, the improvement wherein said dispersing agent is a water soluble polymer selected from the group consisting of water soluble carboxylated acrylic polymers, water soluble styrene/acrylic copolymers, and water soluble alpha-methyl styrene/acrylic copolymers.
