TECHNICAL DATA /

BLACK-AND-WHITE FILM

KODAK PROFESSIONAL Technical

Pan Film

KODAK PROFESSIONAL Technical Pan Film is Kodak’s

slowest and finest-grained black-and-white film for pictorial

photography (when developed in KODAK TECHNIDOL

Liquid Developer). It is a variable-contrast panchromatic

film with extended red sensitivity; because of its extended

red sensitivity, it yields prints with a gray-tone rendering

slightly different from that produced by other panchromatic

films. (This is most noticeable in portraits, in which it

suppresses blemishes.)

Use this film for pictorial, scientific, technical, and

reversal-processing applications. It is an excellent choice for

making big enlargements or murals.

APPLICATIONS

You can vary the contrast of KODAK PROFESSIONAL

Technical Pan Film by modifying development. The wide

range of contrast levels, along with the spectral sensitization

and combination of speed and image-structure properties,

makes this film unusually versatile and suitable for many

applications:

• Pictorial photography

• Photomicrography

• Microphotography (Microfilming)

• Solar photography

• Photographing electrophoretic gels

—NOTICE—

Discontinuance of

KODAK PROFESSIONAL Technical Pan Film

KODAK PROFESSIONAL Technical Pan Film is being

discontinued due to steadily declining demand over the recent

years. Changes in product components and our manufacturing

processes make it impractical to continue to support this

product at its current low levels.

The last Tech Pan coating was several years ago. Since that

time, the old coating room has been shut down, the gels used

in the product formulation have become obsolete, and we no

longer manufacture the ESTAR support on which the 35 mm

product was coated. There would be considerable cost to

recreate the product, with no guarantee that it would look and

act the same as the Tech Pan Film of old.

Technical Pan Film will continue to be available until the

existing inventory has been depleted.

While there is no direct replacement for Tech Pan Film, you

may find KODAK PROFESSIONAL T-MAX 100 Film in

combination with specific B&W Developers to be a viable

alternative for some applications.

• Laser recording

• Other applications such as slide making, copying, and

microfilming that require high or moderately high

contrast combined with fine grain and high resolving

power

Because 2415 Film has a thinner base than conventional

35 mm picture-taking films, 150-foot rolls finished to Sp 442

will fit in bulk-film loaders designed to accept 100-foot rolls.

Other sizes are available on a special-order basis, subject

to manufacturing limitations and current minimum-order

requirements. Minimum-order quantities for special-order

sizes are generally 750 square feet (70 square metres) of

film.
