Definitions
- Patented Get. .27, 1953 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE Franciscus Anthonius Hubertus Kessels, Venlo, Netherlands, assignor to Chemische Fabriek L. van der Grinten, a company of the Netherlands No Drawing. Application July 14, 1948, Serial No. 38,759. In the Netherlands July 14, 1947 18 Claims.
- This invention relates to an improved devel oper, in solid form or in the form of a solution, for the positive diazotype-process.
- the light sensitive diazocompound is located in the photoactive surface or layer of the diazo material; in the present case the azo coupling component is a constituent of the developer. Consequently, the developer, apart from its buffering function, has also the function of supplying the azo coupling component to the photoin modern developing machines-development is performed with a restricted quantity of developer (5-12 grammes per sq. metre), higher concentrations must be used.
- developers having a higher concentration of borax the difficulty is often experienced, however, that 3 they, e. g. in consequence of evaporation in the developing machine, form crystal crusts which sometimes can only with difiicult be re-dissolved and which cause troubles.
- a tartrate is not capable of solving the solubility problem of borates in diazotype processes. When used in a small amount it does not increase the solubility of borates to a sufficient degree. When used in higher concentration it has a tendency of discolouring the prints.
- Such developers for diazotype processes show distinct advantages when they contain, together with an ace coupling component, an alkali borate and a water soluble organic polyhydroxyl compound having in the molecule at least three alcoholic hydroxyl groups attached to adjacent carbon atoms and which enhances the solubility of the borate in a developing medium.
- Especially suitable alkali borates are potassium borates. 7
- alkali borate and the organic polyhydroxyl compound form a borocomplex which, in the medium of the dissolved developer, is more soluble than the equivalent amount of the borate alone would be.
- Suitable polyhydroxyl compounds are e. g. mannitol, dulcitol, sorbitol, dextrose, glycerol, cane sugar, gluconic acid, saccharic acid, dextrin, and many others.
- the developers according to the invention exhibit attractive properties in practice, more particularly with regard to the difficulties caused by: crystallization, redissolving crystals, hard water used in making the solutions of the developer and the like. More particularly, in developers the louder capacity of which is obtained to a considerable extent, e. g. from 50 to by the use of an alkali borate and the aqueous solution of which consequently must be particularly concentrated with regard to the alkali borate, the polyhydroxyl compounds show good activity. Likewise in developers containing salts, particularly thiosulphates (which are advantageously used therein) in addition to an alkali borate, the activity of the polyhydroxyl compounds has been shown to be considerable.
- the polyhydroxyl compounds do not cause any serious reduction (at any rate not to an extent inconvenient in-practice) of the developing capacity of the developers in diazotype processes.
- the polyhydroxyl compounds naturally should be so selected that they give no detrimental reactions with other constituents of the developer, e. g. with the azo coupling component (this e. g. would occur in a combination: glucose-alkali boratephloroglucinol) or have no other inconvenient properties like e. g. a colour or smell; nor should they indirectly cause such inconveniences.
- the azo coupling component this e. g. would occur in a combination: glucose-alkali boratephloroglucinol
- have no other inconvenient properties like e. g. a colour or smell; nor should they indirectly cause such inconveniences.
- the developers according to the invention show amongst other advantages the advantage over carbonate developers that they do not cause serious staining in spots caused by a local excess of developer; in comparison with acetate or benzoate developers and the like they have the advantage that the developed diazotype prints show less discoloration. In general it can be said that they hardly attack the sizing of the papers used.
- the developers according to the invention are preferably marketed in the form of a mixture of solids; in this case the polyhydroxyl compound iiis preferably a solid or capable of being solidi- Since the developer contains an azo-coupling component, it may be preferable to divide the 3 mixture constituting the solid components of the developer into parts forming together the complete developer, and to keep these parts separated one from the other until they are dissolved.
- Diazotype paper A.Base paper of 110 gms. per sq. metre is coated with approximately 8 gms. per sq. metre of the following aqueous solution:
- Diazotype paper B.-Base paper of 110 gms. per sq. metre is coated with approximately 3 gms. per sq. metre of the following aqueous solution:
- Diazotype paper C.-Base paper of 110 gms. per sq. metre is coated with approximately 8 gms. per sq. metre of the following solution:
- Diaeotype paper D.--Base paper of 110 gms. per sq. metre is coated with approximately 12 gms. per sq. metre of the following solution:
- Dz'aeotype paper E.Base paper of 110 gms. per sq. metre is coated with approximately 12 gms. per sq. metre of the following solution:
- Example 3 A cardboard container is filled with the following constituents:
- Example 8 Developer in liquid form ready for usei 110 gms. potassium tetraborate 5H2O 50 on. em. lactic acid (100%) 10 gms. phloroglucinol 100 gms. mannitol 1 gm. isopropylnaphthalene-sulphonic acid 1000 gms. water
- This developer develops prints on diazotype paper F with 12 gms. per sq. metre in a violet colour. It does not cause inconvenient stains by local excess and gives less discoloration of the diazotype copy than when a corresponding developer is used which contains instead of the borate an acetate or lactate.
