Category: Film & Film Processing Raw Chemicals

Because metol is relatively toxic and can cause skin sensitisation, modern commercial developers often use phenidone or dimezone S (4-hydroxymethyl-4-methyl-1-phenyl-3-pyrazolidone) instead.

This developing agent is therefore great for student or home use as it is 'safer' to use. Ilford Multigrade and PQ Developers contain Dimezone S.

Dimezone-S keeps better in aqueous solution.
The molecular formula is C11H14N2O2

Violet ★★★★★

Been mixing my own developer for a while and this dimezone S dissolves way faster than the metol I used to handle, which saves me a good chunk of time. It’s nice to have a less toxic alternative that still keeps my negatives looking sharp. Definitely sticking with this for future batches.

Ava ★★★★★

The 10g size is perfect for mixing small test batches without committing to a huge container, and it dissolves noticeably faster than the phenidone I’d used before. No skin irritation issues so far, which is a relief for someone who develops regularly.

Sophia ★★★★★

The dimezone S mixed much more cleanly than metol ever did in my darkroom, and I noticed zero skin irritation during preparation. The 10g packet was the perfect size for testing my first few batches of developer. This is exactly what I needed to feel safer mixing at home.
