VRP photographic plates are a practical replacement for Agfa (Millimask) and Kodak (HR-P, TE) plates.
 
The plates are specifically designed for the manufacturing of high-precision photographic masks for microelectronics. The material is also used for Bragg diffraction X-ray tomography and radiography in many European Synchrotron facilities. High resolution, high durability and excellent adhesion of the emulsion layer to the glass substrate enable photographic features of less than 2.5 micrometers to be recorded.
 
All photo-plates are usually supplied in a cardboard package containing 6 units each. The largest plate size available as a standard size is 406x300 mm. The standard glass thickness is 2.5 mm. All plates come with an anti-halation coating. Custom glass sizes and film substrates are available for any emulsion on request. Guaranteed lifetime - 12 months.
