I prefer it because reference is made to the fact that colour is being taken away - which in the case of a print or a photo is possibly important. Dissolvant may accurately describe the chemical process, but I feel it is more commonly associated with nail-varnish... I don't know what others think. |

| dissolvant
Explanation:
Le trichloréthylène est un solvant industriel utilisé comme détachant. Si on fait une recherche sur "color remover", on trouve des utilisations en cosmétique (ongles, rouge à lèvre notamment). Auquel cas, on utilise le terme dissolvant (avec ajout de surgraissant pour ne pas dessécher). (Je ne suis pas chimiste.)
