In the past 10 years we have made thousands of emulsions. We had to replace 50% of the ingredients and start over from scratch numerous times because of this. To give you an impression we opened one of the many archive boxes. Each single greyscale sample here has been a change in emulsion (variation of make, blend,...
Today we made the first testcoating with real emulsions. The coating went well. Now we need a few weeks to analyze the photographic properties. Edit 8.2.2019: The photographic properties are on target. We need to investigate some coating artefcts. The below testimage shows our Polywarmtone II from the Feburary coating in Marly with a stripe of...
Due to ongoing market consolidations on the side of chemical suppliers in recent years, we started a while ago to manufacture small lots of photochemistry entirely in our facilities. Medium sized batches were temporarily produced in our dispersion kettles in Switzerland. With the finishing of the new building we now have space to move all chemical...
In the summer we had successfully undertaken a first testrun with CHS 100 II sheetfilm emulsions. In the meantime the layer build up of the sheet films is by now stable on the cascade. 35mm and 120 films are more complex and we are still in the optimizing process. In the meantime the fans of a "slightly larger"...
Up to now we have only "simulated" Polywarmtone by coating single layer extracts and calculating the result. Now it is time to merge it all in one package on the coater. In order to start we simulated the calculated package on the cascade with dyed gelatine layers. From this you can learn if the package is at...
In the last weeks we have been building around the backside of the new building. Parking spaces have been built, a rainwaterdraining basin and further waste water piping. Inside of the building we have moved tons of machines and materials, and installed electrical, pressurized air, photowater and water piping. ...
Finally the concrete is arriving. You can´t imagine how frustrating it is if you have a new building but can´t put anything in! For 7 months the world ended with a bent metal piece below the main gate because there was a 10 inch gap and Brandenburg´s sand below. No forklift, no palette lifter and no...
We started manufacturing a larger batch of Polywarmtone II emulsions for our first complete layer build up in Switzerland scheduled for late 2018 or early 2019....

There was a lot of interest on the subject. The film is excellent for filtration and super fine grained. Together with the new HR-50 we also presented the new HR-DEV developer. On our ADOX-FOTOIMPEX...
In the last months we have mainly worked in the outer areas. The wastewater pipes have been conected and along the train tracks a wall was built to create room for the required parking places. Inside the tiles in the chemical production and coating room have been fitted. Today the old NVA bunker residuals were crushed...
