Reaction Steps

Next, a coating composition for a thermally developable light-sensitive layer was prepared in accordance with the following procedures. 34 g of behenic acid and 500 ml of water were mixed and then behenic acid was dissolved on heating at 85° C. To the mixture of behenic acid thus dissolved and water, was added a sodium hydroxide aqueous solution (2.0 g of sodium hydroxide and 50 cc of water) at 25° C. over a period of three minutes while stirring at 1800 rpm, which resulted in the formation of a mixture of sodium behenate and behenic acid, followed by cooling from 85° C. to 30° C. while stirring at 1800 rpm.
