I believe it's for lithography - printing press stuff. Try googling around with that and you'll find something.

Yes, I'm sure it's for printing/etching processes.

There are also so-called "developers" for projects like printed circuits, etc., for electronics, but these are not related to the chemicals we know for photography.
