Liquid emulsion and X-rays

[Alfredo A]

Hi, I'm new to this forum. I'd like to ask if liquid emulsion (ADOX Polywarmtone, Foma, etc.) is affected by airport X-rays. I live in Spain, and it's hard to find ADOX liquid emulsion here. I'm planning to travel to Germany soon and would like to buy it there, but I'm not sure if the X-rays will damage it.
Thank you very much, and best regards from Granada

Welcome back @Alfredo A (registration date says 2011...so not entirely new, I take it!)

Yes, liquid emulsions are sensitive to x-rays, but the 'poison is in the dosage' as the saying goes. Regular carry-on x-ray scanners are not likely to pose a problem, but the more powerful and modern CT-scanners found increasingly in airports are. Since these are liquids, you're likely planning to put them in hold luggage and that's not a good idea, as the scanners used for hold luggage are known to cause problems.

Can't you simply order e.g. the Adox product from FotoImpex and have it delivered to Spain?
