Become a master of your craft with the Photographers' Formulary Salicyclic Acid, a high-quality and effective component used in professional photography developer formulas such as DS-10 & DS-12. This reliable chemical, known for its durability, is a crucial ingredient for photographers aiming to produce superior quality images.
The Salicyclic Acid is soluble in ethanol and ether, showcasing its versatile nature. However, it's important to note that it is only slightly soluble in water, ensuring its effectiveness is not easily diluted. The production process of this professional-grade chemical involves heating sodium phenolate (the sodium salt of phenol) with carbon dioxide under high pressure. This forms sodium salicylate, which is then treated with sulfuric acid to liberate the salicylic acid.
This meticulous process guarantees the production of a high-quality product, specifically formulated to meet the unique needs of photographers. With the Photographers' Formulary Salicyclic Acid, you can trust in a product that is not only reliable but also designed to enhance your photographic development process.
