This box doesn’t have the label but it does have the lid. See last pic, borrowed from internet, to see the label that was on it. Adds to the history.


Philip A. Hunt Chemical Company was formed in 1909 in Brooklyn New York. The company created chemicals for the motion picture industry with chemicals that developed film and photos. They grew into providing chemical and process for x-rays, printing and newspapers, circuit board etching and microelectronics.


Hunt Imaging originated as the Philip A. Hunt Chemical company in 1909. Founded in Brooklyn, New York by Philip Arthur Hunt, the Company traded in raw "fine" chemicals and mixed chemistry for the motion picture industry. In the late 1950's, the Company added both a research and development laboratory and a new manufacturing plant at the headquarters in Palisades Park, New Jersey.


Shortly thereafter, four operating divisions were established:


Photographic chemicals for the emerging color photography and growing x-ray markets

Graphic arts chemicals with electrostatic toners for the commercial printing and newspaper industries

Electronic chemicals which initially supplied etchants for the new printed circuit board industry

Photo resists for use in the developing microelectronics industry

Hunt's reputation was built on a strong foundation of R&D and quality. The company's innovations included the first liquid concentrate developers to process x-ray films and later graphic arts films and papers. In 1965, Hunt Chemical entered the color photo finishing chemical business with the introduction of liquid concentrate developers for film and paper which offered significant advantages over the powder products available at the time.
