Abstract:
A photothermographic recording material comprising a photo-addressable thermosensitive element on one side of a water resistant support and an outermost backside layer on the other side of said water resistant support, said photo-addressable thermosensitive element comprising a substantially light-insensitive organic silver salt, an organic reducing agent for said substantially light-insensitive organic silver salt in thermal working relationship therewith, photosensitive silver halide in catalytic association with said substantially light insensitive organic silver salt and a binder; and said outermost backside layer comprising polymeric beads, characterized in that an outermost layer on said side of said water resistant support with said photo-addressable thermosensitive element does not contain a fluorine-containing polymeric surfactant; and the static frictional coefficient between said outermost layer on said side of said water resistant support with said photo-addressable thermosensitive element and said outermost backside layer is .ltoreq.0.24.
