  • hexamine (CAS 100-97-0) & photoflo (contains ethylene glycol)
  • 1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one (CAS 2634-33-5) & diethylene glycol CAS 111-46-6

sidenote: silver step tablets don’t give same results as dye step tablets of same step sizes and ranges. They differ in the high densities. There is a term for this also.
