With the Photographic Chemical manufacturing market expanding in India at an astonishing rate, Nippon Photographics has emerged as a commendable player with a highly sophisticated factory producing chemical of world-class quality cost-effectively when compared to equivalent imported chemicals of the same grade and quality.

The Nippon Chemical Factory is housed at Perungudi, Chennai. The 1.5 acre site has a built-up area of 20,000 squre feet and is equipped with the most sophisticated powder and liquid chemical mixing equipment. All the testing equipment is imported from Japan and is approved by Konica Corporation, Japan. Konica’s colour and black & white film and paper processing chemicals are manufactured in its modern production facility.

Only the finest raw materials are used and they conform to ANSI and JIS standards. The quality Control chemists and production team at NPPL have been trained by Konica’s Processing Chemical Section Engineers of the Hinoshi plant to ensure that the finished products are specifically manufactured to satisfy the exacting needs of our customers. NPPL is also able to expedite rapid shipment of materials to customers in domestic and export markets at highly competitive prices.

Attention to detail in the manufacturing processing is what makes Konica’s Processing Solutions longer lasting than those of other competitors in the market

The Nippon De-ionised Water Treatment Plant
Nippon Photographics has installed a state-of-art Deionisation Water Treatment Plant where the total ohmic resistance of the final output water is 1 million ohm or more, as per the International Standard of Konica Corporation, Japan. The net result is increased stability and longer life of processing solutions. This reduces wear and tear of machine parts. When water of non-photographic standards and commercial grade raw materials are used, the small savings in chemical costs are lost amidst the heavy maintenance costs incurred for the processors.

Total Quality Management
Nippon’s technological Quality Control Department is fully equipped to meet the following international specifications:

  • Testing of all raw materials used, to conform to International Photographic Standards.
  • Testing of finished goods batch by batch to pass the specifications of pH and specific gravity.
  • Processing of imported CNK-52 QA and CPK-22 SQA control strips for each batch of chemicals and ensuring that the process control is within the limits.
  • Use of high quality PE and PET bottles and special grade PP caps as per Konica Corporation’s specifications.

To meet our supply demands on time, we Nippon Photographics have also installed a 200 KVA diesel generator set as a stand-by to power the entire factory in instances of power failure.
