Les révélateurs sont en principe des réducteurs dont l'action est neutralisée par l'oxydation. En raison de l'oxydation, par l'oxygène de l'air par exemple, il est impossible de conserver longtemps un révélateur. La substance développatrice se combine à l'oxygène et perd sa capacité de réaction (c'est pourquoi il faut toujours remplir à ras bord les bouteilles dans lesquelles on conserve les révélateurs). 1, record 9, French, - oxydation
