Photographic film processing chemicals are the chemicals used in the process of making the latent image visible and then permanent through the film processing. Photographic film processing chemicals are used as development agents, activators, preservatives, restrainers, solvents, neutralizers, hardeners and buffers. Some of the photographic film processing chemicals include sodium thiosulfate, sodium hydroxide, water, acetic acid, potassium alum, potassium bromide and sodium sulfite.
Sodium thiosulfate is generally used as the photographic fixer while sodium hydroxide is used as the activator. Water is used as the solvent and developer. Acetic acid acts as a stop bath in the photographic processing while potassium alum is used as a hardener for photographic films and papers. Significant growth has been observed in the photographic film processing market, which is expected to drive the global demand for photographic film processing chemicals.
