Abstract
Abstract Disclosed is a light-sensitive mixture comprising (a) a 1,2-quinonediazide or a mixture of (a 1 ) a compound forming an acid on exposure and (a 2 ) a compound having at least one C--O--C bond cleavable by acid; (b) a water-insoluble binder soluble in aqueous-alkaline solutions; (c) a photolytically cleavable organic halogen compound of one of the formulae ##STR1## in which R 1 denotes an aromatic radical bonded directly or via a conjugated chain, and X denotes a halogen atom; and (d) an azo dyestuff containing at least one nitro group in the molecule. Also disclosed are light-sensitive copying materials produced from these mixtures.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
131 words
A light-sensitive mixture, comprising: (a) a 1,2-quinonediazide or a mixture of (a 1 ) a compound forming an acid on exposure and (a 2 ) a compound having at least one C--O--C bond cleavable by acid; (b) a water-insoluble binder soluble in aqueous-alkaline solution; (c) a photolytically cleavable organic halogen compound of one of the formulae I and II ##STR4## in which R 1 denotes an aromatic radical bonded directly or via a conjugated chain, and X denotes a halogen atom; and (d) a dyestuff comprising an azo dyestuff containing at least one nitro group in the molecule, said ingredients a, b, c, and d being present in such amounts that said mixture produces after imagewise exposure thereof an image of an original which is clearly visible under yellow safety light.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
131 words
A light-sensitive mixture, comprising: (a) a 1,2-quinonediazide or a mixture of (a 1 ) a compound forming an acid on exposure and (a 2 ) a compound having at least one C--O--C bond cleavable by acid; (b) a water-insoluble binder soluble in aqueous-alkaline solution; (c) a photolytically cleavable organic halogen compound of one of the formulae I and II ##STR4## in which R 1 denotes an aromatic radical bonded directly or via a conjugated chain, and X denotes a halogen atom; and (d) a dyestuff comprising an azo dyestuff containing at least one nitro group in the molecule, said ingredients a, b, c, and d being present in such amounts that said mixture produces after imagewise exposure thereof an image of an original which is clearly visible under yellow safety light.
