Structurix Films – Advantages
Optimum Image Quality
All Structurix lms benet from an Agfa
emulsion breakthrough that provides
increased contrast and maximum detail
perceptibility. In fact, it results in the
highest intrinsic defect recognition for
each speed range. Even the smallest
details can be interpreted with ease. The
nished X-ray lm has a high quality with
a brilliant surface, and the image has a
pleasant blue tint.
Protective Coating
An important feature of the Structurix
lms is a special protective top coating
resulting directly from Agfa’s Split
Antistress Layer (SAL) technology. This top
coat gives the lms unique high resistance
to pressure, scratching and creasing.
Another advantage of the top coat is that
surface roughness has been optimized for
problem free processing in automatic
feeders such as the FEEDER.

Contrast (signal) of all lms is optimized to approach
the maximum contrast for a linear detector (industrial
X-ray Film), thereby optimizing image quality and
perceptibility. An exception to the rule is D2, a super
linear detector, where image quality is optimized
through more than linear (extremely high) contrast in
combination with very low noise.
Optimization of Contrast
The emulsion coatings are covered by two separate
antistress layers (3 + 4). To achieve a rugged surface,
the top layer has received the matting agent.

The Structurix film family has two
key advantages of great importance
in non-destructive testing – image
quality and consistent rugged
behavior. Both result from Agfa’s
advanced emulsion technology and
ultramodern high-tech coating
processes.
