Patent ID: 7258968

Claim:
A thermally developable material that comprises a support having on one side thereof, one or more thermally developable imaging layers comprising a binder and in reactive association, a non-photosensitive source of reducible silver ions, and a reducing agent composition for said non-photosensitive source reducible silver ions, and having disposed on the backside of said support: a buried conductive backside layer comprising one or more organic solvent soluble hydrophobic binder polymers, and an antistatic compound that is an organic solvent soluble alkali metal salt of a perfluorinated aliphatic carboxylic acid having 2 or 3 carbon atoms, a perfluorinated aliphatic sulfonate, or tetrafluoroborate, that is present in an amount sufficient to provide a water electrode resistivity of 1×10 12 ohm/sq or less at 21.1° C. and 50% relative humidity, and a static decay time of less than 100 seconds at 21.1° C. and 20% relative humidity, and an outermost backside layer.
