On the page for the "2019 Edition" of HC-110 at B&H, if you zoom in on the bottle it says "NEW FORMULA." This is confirmed by Alaris' website, where next to t-max dev and HC-110 it says "New Formula, Same Great Results:"...
That´s quite interesting to hear. Back when I wrote my article about the Tetenal bankrupcy for PKI and shared it via Petapixel (https://petapixel.com/2019/02/01/a-closer-look-at-tetenal-a-photo-firm-thats-too-important-to-fail/) most Alaris chems and practically all Ilford chemistry were...
You argue against your own point (and I agree).
Eastman Chemical Company has about a hundred years of history being tied to Eastman Kodak. I'll bet some lingering ties yet exist; even if informally.
...chemical, unless that would be very tricky and in-house knowledge could make it economical then.
Furthermore: Eastman Kodak is not KodakAlaris.
Concerning Dektol: it consists seemingly only of middle-of-the-road chemicals. Any plant devoted to blending and packaging fine chemicals could...
...a few other KA chemistry. The only in stock "new" material is Kodak Rapid Selenium toner, the photo of the product says made in USA with KodakAlaris Rochester. Pretty fuzzy little picture, I don't know what this really means
New Dektol cat. no. is 1058296, old Dektol is cat. no. 5160270...
Thank you very much for the information.
I have not informed myself a lot why Ektachrome was discontinued, but i recall an outcry everywhere i looked when Ektachrome was discontinued, leaving the impression to me that there still was an acceptable demand of Ektachrome. And a few years later they...
...the changes Eastman Kodak had to bring about in order to satisfy their desire to bring back the Ektachrome motion picture film, and KodakAlaris' desire to bring back the 35mm still film:
"With the 135 version, two entire color layer structures (6 emulsion layers) required complete...
Well...
As long as Eastman Kodak is still alive, their side of the contract with KodakAlaris would restrict what anyone who purchased KodakAlaris could do with the rights to market Kodak film.
And if in a bankruptcy the Eastman Kodak film businesses were sold, the KodakAlaris contract would...
Oh boy, I am not wanting to hear bad things about Kodak, the real Kodak that makes film. Alaris is scary too, what if a foreign company (more foreign than the UK :D) bought the rights to Kodak film. We could end up with Vladimir Putin making Lomography purple passion film and calling it...
I did find this article from yesterday. It doesn;t look good. I was wondering what would happen to Alaris and Kodak furnished Alaris film if Kodak went out of business? They make the film for Alaris I believe.

I saw a link to a BBC article in Google - a headline about another Kodak bankruptcy. But there's no article when I clicked on it on the BBC web page. It might have been the Alaris situation that confused BBC. Sorry about that. Carry on.
Where do you see that - it certainly doesn't show up in my Google searches.
If what you refer to is Eastman Kodak, it hasn't been the "parent organization" since the previous bankruptcy in 2011.
Eastman Kodak are the manufacturer that KodakAlaris buys their film from though.
Here is capacity data for Kodak chemicals: https://125px.com/docs/techpubs/kodak/e103cp-2017.pdf
KodakAlaris has two links on its site for similar tables - one for film processing, the other for print processing, but they both re-direct to the film processing matrix.
The UK pension fund lifeboat will be I believe now the owner of KodakAlaris after bailing out the pension fund with GBP 600 million.

Covington's website is a bit outdated. I queried KodakAlaris regarding the European product last March as follows:
Question: Can you confirm that a European version of HC-110 developer available in 500ml bottles (CAT 500 1466) is no longer produced?
Answer: Correct – this item was...
Kodak (recently) made a 800 speed film for use exclusively in their one time use cameras. it is not too big a strech to imagine them selling some under a private label arrangement, and their is no reason why alaris could not be the contractor..
I have no idea. ONE of the lomo 25mm B&W films I...
...to equal to 2 times the developer. The fixer is just fixer so it should be cheap.
I'm sure Brazil has good C-41 chemistry. All the KodakAlaris stuff is made in China, that's what we get. I suspect that these are commodity chemicals shipped in bulk totes from various manufacturers. Could be...
Eastman Kodak is like Harman, they offer contract coating.
I doubt they offer contract coating of currently sold as KodakAlaris photographic film (other than to KodakAlaris) but they may be open and able to sell older versions of films to third parties.
...the replenishment rate, and posibly the Ph of the solutions to try and keep the process under control.
You may want to read the KodakAlaris manual : https://imaging.kodakalaris.com/sites/uat/files/wysiwyg/pro/chemistry/z131.pdf
Actually reading in that manual, it does say you can get 4...
Ilfordphoto.com and KodakAlaris have instructions for agitation with various developers. Kodak was always advocated, agitate continuously for first 30 seconds (small tank) then every 30 seconds for 5 seconds. Inversion can be accompanied by rotation of the tank. Paterson tank directs that...
...in a new to me Brownie Hawkeye Flash. I am going to see if one of the frames will give me something good for the Toy Camera exchange.
KodakAlaris has previously replaced the problem film with good stuff, but for experiments....
The camera is one designed for 620 but you can fit a 120 roll...
