Dimezone（Cat No.:M049509）, also known as 4,4′-dihydroxyazobenzene, is a chemical compound featuring two phenol groups connected by an azo linkage (-N=N-). This organic compound is primarily known for its role in photographic processes. Dimezone acts as a developing agent in black and white photographic developers, where it helps to reduce exposed silver halide crystals to metallic silver, thereby producing the image. It is valued for its ability to provide enhanced image sharpness and fine grain in photographic films and papers. Additionally, Dimezone finds applications in various dye and pigment industries due to its azo group structure.
