About Photographers' Formulary Gallic Acid

From the darkroom to the laboratory, Photographers' Formulary Gallic Acid is an essential chemical for professionals working with azo dyes and photographic developers. This high-quality 100g Gallic Acid is a versatile reagent, pivotal in various photographic processes and scientific applications.

Gallic Acid is known for its role in the synthesis of azo dyes, which are used extensively in textile dyeing and printing. Additionally, its application in photographic developers makes it a staple for both traditional film enthusiasts and professional photographers who practice film development.

It is important to note that Gallic Acid undergoes a significant chemical transformation when heated above 220 degrees Celsius. At this critical temperature, it decomposes, releasing carbon dioxide and forming pyrogallol, also known as 1,2,3-trihydroxybenzene. Pyrogallol is another compound with its own set of applications in photography and dye production.

To ensure the longevity and efficacy of this chemical, it should be stored with care. The product comes in a tightly sealed container that should be kept in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area to prevent degradation. It is also crucial to protect the Gallic Acid from physical damage and light exposure, which could compromise its quality and performance.

Photographers' Formulary is committed to providing high-grade chemicals for photographic and scientific needs. This 100g Gallic Acid is a testament to their dedication to quality and reliability in the field of photographic chemistry. Whether you're a seasoned photographer or a scientist in the realm of material sciences, this product is designed to meet your exacting standards.
