PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Tetenal COLORTEC©range offers a high level of performance, quality, safety, con-
venience, environmental friendliness and service. COLORTEC©- the “best available
technology” for colour chemicals.
COLORTEC©E-6 3-BATH is designed for the development of E-6 compatible colour
slide films in rotary tube processors. With the “3-Bath technology” the number of proces-
sing baths is reduced to three (+ Stabilizer). The reversal takes place during the colour
development. Bleaching and fixing are performed in a Bleach Fix.

Partial mixing possible, e.g. for 5 x 500 ml.
NOTES ON MIXING:
The first developer must be mixed first and the solution sealed in the container so
that it is airproof in order to prevent contamination of the first developer from the
colour developer.
Partial mixing of the colour developer requires special accuracy - the slightest
deviations alter the film colour balance. The working solution is coloured blue-violet;
eventually turning yellowish-brown when left to stand.

NOTES ON PROCESSING STEPS:
The times given represent the time from the first contact of the film with the relevant
bath to the first contact with the following bath or rinse.
Steps 0-2 to be carried out in complete darkness.
First Developer times must be adapted individually to suit the combination of deve-
loper machine, film make, speed of rotation and the proportion of film area to the
quantity of first developer.
Extended First Developer time (+ 25 %) = brighter slides by one stop (approx.), red-
uced (- 25 %) = darker slides by one stop (approx.)
Carry out rinses with running water or change water every 30 secs. or rinse over
longer periods.
Agitation Step 1 (FD), 3 (CD), 5 (BX): constantly during first 15 secs, then once every
15 secs.
Stabilizing is performed outside the tank.

DEVELOPMENT AT 38 °C / 100 °F LEADING TO CHANGES IN SENSITIVITY
Under-exposed or over-exposed slide films can be influenced by changes during the
first developer time:
2 stops Push 2 + 5' 30''
1 stop Push 1 + 2' 00''
1 stop Pull 1 - 2' 00''
2 stops Pull 2 FD time unchanged,
reduce temperature to 30,6 °C
3 stops Pull 3 FD time unchanged,
reduce temperature to 30,6 °C
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
PROCESSING
In rotary processors, drum, cover and film reeds are to be cleaned thoroughly with
warm water after each development process. Before each new process they must be
absolutely dry.
Certain plastics absorb traces of the colour developer strongly and permanently.
Consequently, rotary equipment with trays and other parts made of plastics are not
suitable for this process.
The first developer is the critical phase of the process. Time, temperature and agi-
tation must be constantly monitored. Deviations from these conditions will impact
on veiling (minimum density) and loss of sensitivity (density). Any contamination of
the first developer with even the slightest traces of the colour developer (including
vapour) results in lower final densities (maximum density).
Used and unused solutions should not be mixed because of possible contamination.
INFLUENCE ON COLOUR BALANCE
The colour balance can be affected by a change in the pH value of the colour developer.
Reduction of pH value –> addition of 20% sulphuric acid (H2SO4), abt. 4-6 ml per litre.
Increase in pH value –> addition of 20% sodium hydroxide solution (NaOH), abt. 4-6
ml per litre.
