About Photographers' Formulary Salicyclic Acid

When seeking a reliable and high-quality solution for your photography development needs, look no further than the Photographers' Formulary Salicyclic Acid. This professional-grade product is a crucial component in popular developer formulas such as DS-10 and DS-12, making it a staple for many photographers.

Notably, this salicyclic acid is soluble in ethanol and ether, although it exhibits only slight solubility in water. This characteristic ensures its effectiveness in various photographic processes.

The production of this salicyclic acid involves a meticulous process. It begins with the heating of sodium phenolate, the sodium salt of phenol, with carbon dioxide under high pressure. This results in the formation of sodium salicylate. Subsequently, the sodium salicylate is treated with sulfuric acid, liberating the salicylic acid. This careful preparation underscores the commitment of Photographers' Formulary to deliver a product that meets the exacting standards of professional photographers.

In essence, the Photographers' Formulary Salicyclic Acid is a testament to the brand's dedication to quality and effectiveness, making it an ideal choice for photographers seeking a reliable and durable solution for their film and paper development needs.
