New generation of photochemicals: PHOTOTABS
B&W Developer and Fixer chemicals in tablet form
PARVOFIN TABS and SUPERFIX TABS are the first products of a new generation of photochemicals that TETENAL is now launching: B/W developer and B/W fixer in tablet form.
More than 25 years of experience in the development and production of ecojet tablets for professional colouring machines are the foundation for the implementation and fulfilment of market demands for a new concept of photochemicals. For the first time, end users have access to a unique technology that is only offered by Tetenal worldwide.
The extraordinarily long shelf life of PHOTOTABS of at least 4 years makes them particularly economical, especially when work is done only sporadically over longer periods of time. A very special advantage of the tabs is their temperature-independent storage in a very wide range from - 40°C to + 40°C - no other photochemical product is equipped with such a tolerance.
PHOTOTABS offer many advantages:
- Always fresh chemistry
- Easy to use
- Free of boron compounds
- Dust free
- Temperature independent storage
- Shelf life for years
- Easy and safe transport
- Ideal for sporadic use
- Constant results over long periods

Records and instant films have shown that there is a demand for nostalgic products from target groups who have not even grown up with these technologies. This is also the case with film photography. Whether it is the camera from the attic of the grandparents or directly from a second-hand shop - cameras, films and the associated image style are increasingly in demand.
"But the fascination of analogue photography does not end with the exposure of the film," says Carsten Gehring, Managing Director of TETENAL 1847 GmbH. The Norderstedt team has made it their mission to bring the fascination of film development to those who have never developed a film.
Taking analog photography means taking the time to slow down and concentrate on the essentials. Developing a film yourself and having all the possibilities to determine the final image with the TETENAL chemicals used is what makes analog photography magic! Each picture is unique!
