Superior Stability
NONTOX® developers exhibit excellent stability over a wide variety of throughput conditions and time/usage patterns - much better than hydroquinone-based formulations. The result is less waste and less downtime.

Cleaner-Running
Hydroquinone-free developers do not produce the oxidation compounds normally associated with developers. Our cleaner-running developers reduce cleaning expense and processor downtime.

Safer to Use
These developers contain no hydroquinone, no glutaraldehyde and no glycol ethers. Occupational safety issues associated with these chemicals become non-issues for you.

Lower Disposal Costs
All direct disposal costs, as well as disposal limitations and liabilities directly relating to developers containing hydroquinone, glutaraldehyde and glycol ethers are eliminated. Depending on local regulatory requirements, in many cases used solutions can be disposed into the publicly owned treatment works (POTW).

Easier on the Environment
NONTOX® brand developers have a much lower biological and chemical oxygen demand (BOD and COD), imposing less stress on treatment facilities. Environmental compliance costs associated with hydroquinone, glutaraldehyde and glycol ethers are eliminated.

Price Competitive
Grafkem's NONTOX® developers are price-competitive with hydroquinone-based products from major manufacturers.

Lowest Overall Cost
The benefits we've just listed add up to one thing: NONTOX® developers provide you with the lowest overall cost to process your silver halide-based Medical X-ray, Dental X-ray, and Graphic Arts films.
