Based on answers Mirko has given to questions about what's manufactured where, at a minimum InovisCoat still coats MCC 110 for ADOX. Possibly additional ADOX products like MCP as well. I've discerned no clues that any ADOX AgX materials other than the upcoming Polywarmtone paper are coated at Marley.What does InovisCoat make these days?
In this postIf I understood correctly, Polywarmtone and CHS II are both made here in Fribourg.
Bob is absolutely correct. While an actual "formula" for an emulsion may be 2 or 3 pages long for the procedures of the precipitation, the actual information necessary to prepare the emulsion and the film could fill a book. The "formula" includes codes such as AF-2033 (made up), which would be a reference to a database of AF solutions (antifoggants for this example), which would contain a procedure for making the AF-2033 solution and specify a method and CAS #s for the ingredients therein.
Put all together, this would be pages and pages of information all converging on the head and finally the end of the coating machine. Then, the slitters, choppers, packers and customers and these all have their needs too.

Don't forget that Carestream still operates in the US using Kodak equipment and making products for ALARIS.

ADOX's use of its Marley equipment for R&D aside, are any other currently produced/sold sensitized products regularly coated there? I infer from the Polywarmtone blog, as well as some of Mirko's answers on PHOTRIO, that this resurrected paper will be first to market from Marley (after finishing in Berlin)....after the acquisition ADOX has had to invest a lot of work and capital to modernise the Marly facility to fit the needs of ADOX and the future market. Now this facility is playing an important role in all new ADOX paper and film products, for R&D and production...
And in addition the demand from technical X-ray markets also remained on a relative stable level. Last year Fujifilm explained in one of their financial reports that they are working to increase their market share in the X-ray film market.
I think CHS in sheets is the first product coated in Marly, the reintroduction of CHS was delayed because they were forced to coat it in house and had to do all the relative R&D to make it work.ADOX's use of its Marley equipment for R&D aside, are any other currently produced/sold sensitized products regularly coated there?

wow, I go to Yosemite for a day photo trip and return to great responses. Many thanks for all the great info.
my thought was just that if possible in todays market, if there was demand for a film, could it be re-introduced back into the market after a long layoff. Looking at ektachrome,, It seems to be taking a lot longer than people hoped for kodak to bring it back, even though it was not that long ago that is was discontinued.

when the notice came out this week that 16mm Ektachrome Movie stock was now shipping I went to the main Kodak.com site, and one of the banners was referring to Kodak X-ray film for Non destructive Testing. I wonder if that comes from Carestream? or if [Kodak] have a new line?

Thank you for confirming my understanding, namely, that Polywarmtone will be the first commercially offered sensitized ADOX product coated in Marley....the first finished commercial product coated in Marly has been the ADOX SNAP-ON filters about 1.5 years ago. At that time ADOX also explained that this was the first product coated there. I've tested these filters intensively just after their introduction (they're good, very nice product) and in my talks with them they explained that even in further detail, because it was a little "breakthrough" for them after all the hard work in modernising the Marly facility...
It would be most interesting to hear the way(s) in which you found E100 different, particularly as compared to E100G. Thanks in advance for any details you can share....I've used E100G and Elitechrome 100 in the past, and I have tested of course the new Ektachrome E100 as well. And it is a significantly different film compared to former E100G, E100GX and Elitechrome 100...
...I still have no idea where CMS II is coated, but am highly confident it's not in Marley.
My conclusion about CMS II was reached based on both the wording of Henning's reply in post #38 -- he omitted mention of anything other than filters -- and Mirko's posts concerning CMS II. In the latter, Mirko discussed test coatings at Marley, but I can find no mention of regular production occurring there.Why not? The reason given by Adox to the delay in CHS is that they had to produce it in Marly earlier than they thought.

Reading between the lines is a challenge. Perhaps I should have said "confident" instead of "highly confident."
