Eastman Kodak Company, the leading name in motion picture film...and LipsnerSmith Company, the recognized world leader in film cleaning technology, have been working together since 1993, in the quest to find new film cleaning fluids to replace methyl chloroform...and be work able with industry standard equipment for film cleaning.
