Plastics for Motion-Picture Laboratories

Roderick T. Ryan

The use in motion-picture film developing equipment of some of the plastics that have become available since World War II has minimized or eliminated corrosion and contamination problems. This paper outlines the advantages and disadvantages of some of these materials and reports on how they have been employed by laboratories in the Hollywood area. Among the equipment for which they have been found suitable are pipe, fittings and valves; tank linings and construction; and processing machine racks and rollers.
