Highly effective alkaline developer for high-contrast, low-fog imaging systems.
Excellent solubility in water and common organic co-solvents (e.g., ethanol, ethylene glycol).
Controlled volatility and low vapor pressure ensure stable bath life and reduced workplace exposure.
Minimal metal ion chelation, preserving the integrity of aluminum-based printing plates and anodized rollers.
Biodegradable backbone with favorable environmental profile compared to traditional alkali developers.
Waterless and conventional offset lithographic plate development.
Electrophotographic (xerographic) toner formulation and developer component in copier/printer cartridges.
Photopolymer flexographic printing plate processing.
Chemical amplification in photoresist development for semiconductor microlithography (non-critical layers).
Specialty cleaning formulations for precision optics and microelectronics substrates.

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for Ethanolamine Developer?
A: The primary active ingredient is 2-aminoethanol (monoethanolamine), CAS No. 141-43-5. Final formulated product carries proprietary blend CAS No. 1985723-88-1 (as registered under REACH).
Q2: What is the recommended working concentration range?
A: Typical use concentration is 3–8% v/v in deionized water for offset plates; 0.5–2% v/v when used as an additive in electrophotographic developer carriers. Always validate via small-batch testing per substrate and process conditions.
Q3: How does it compare to sodium hydroxide or silicate-based developers?
A: Ethanolamine Developer offers superior pH buffering capacity, reduced corrosion risk, lower environmental impact, and improved shelf stability—without sacrificing developing speed or image fidelity on modern plates.
Q4: Is it compliant with food-contact regulations for packaging plate applications?
A: While not intended for direct food contact, residual migration testing per EU Regulation (EC) No. 10/2011 shows <0.01 mg/dm² total migration when used per recommended plate processing protocols — suitable for indirect food packaging applications.
