Hi folks,

I've successfully developed some older Agfacolor-type films in their original processes.

I've got another one to try out; but I'm having trouble locating its colour developer. This is Droxychrome otherwise known as T32, and its chemical name is Ethyl-hydroxyethyl-p-phenylendiaminsulphate.

Does anyone have some of this that they could spare, or know where it could be purchased?

Thanks for any help!

Droxychrome, boy haven't seen that name in a LONG time. Interestingly when I searched for the MSDS to see what synonyms there were the only hit was in Polish. Since another poster seems to have some you are alright for now. If you should need more The color developing agents can usually be exchanged if you can tolerate some shift in color. Best to search using the chemical name rather than the tradename.

Please note, that "Keten in Poland" sells CD-8 (N,N-Dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine sulfate) instead of CD-32 (T-32, N-ethyl-N-hydroxyethyl-p-phenylenediamine sulfate), which is very unsuitable for color developing, cause CD-8 has high parasitic spreading which gave spots and lowers resolution, whereas CD-32 is slightly better by this parameter, than CD-1.

As far as I know CD-32 currently is producing in very low quantities and has unreasonable price by some chemicals firms like Merck. If you unable to get it, better search for CD-1 (N,N-diethyl-p-phenylenediamine hydrochloride), which still has quite wide applicability in analytic chemistry.

English MSDS for CD-32, if anybody will need it - http://www.apolloscientific.co.uk/downloads/msds/OR5926_msds.pdf
