Isoascorbate-based and well-tuned, ADOX XT-3 delivers balanced and finely drawn negatives of good sharpness. A very balanced developer that harmonizes perfectly with all films and light situations and optimally uses the sensitivity. Hydroquinone- and now also borate-free with improved shelf life compared to previous isoascorbate-based developer formulations. The solubility has been significantly improved. Part A and B will now dissolve completely within 2-3 minutes. Additionally with ADOX CAPTURE technology dust-free at the base. The development times and the resulting curves are identical to the XTOL in composite bags, which was available until approx. 2019. Advantages over similarly working developers such as XTOL, Excel or LegacyPro Eco: - Borate-free - Biodegradable complex former - No health hazard at the approach due to CAPTURA dust binding technology - Improved solubility - Improved durability. Made in Germany. As with all isoascorbate-based developers, you should pay attention to possible clouding and color changes, as these developers can lose activity very quickly. If substances fail or a clear yellowing occurs, the developer should no longer be used. With the sale of the Kodak chemical division to Chinese investors in 2020, ADOX has launched a program to "ensure the availability" of the legendary Kodak photochemicals. ADOX analyzes the recipes and brings them to a modern standard. ADOX produces in Germany in its own factory and carries out both research and quality control at the site.
