Process ECP-2E Steps Table 9-1 Persulfate Bleach Sequence Step Function 1. Developer Reduces exposed silver halide grains in all three light-sensitive layers. The developing agent is oxidized by the exposed silver halide, and the oxidation product couples with the particular dye coupler incorporated within each layer to produce dye images. A silver image is formed simultaneously at the exposed silver-halide sites. 2. Stop Stops the development of silver-halide grains and washes Color Develo

Construction Materials The construction materials recommended for the developer, stop, fixer, and bleach solutions are listed in Table 9-2. All the bleaches are quite corrosive. The UL bleach is slightly more corrosive than ferricyanide bleach, but less corrosive than persulfate bleach. Titanium, Hastelloy C, and engineering plastics such as PVC are, therefore, recommended materials for persulfate bleach. Use plastics compatible with low pH solutions (less than pH 5). Red brass is commonl
