What does DIAZO mean in Scrabble?
adjective
technicalhistorical
Relating to a class of nitrogen-containing chemical compounds and to a copying process built on their light-sensitive reaction.
Diazo describes both a family of nitrogen-containing chemical compounds and the once common office copying method built around them. In diazo printing, paper coated with a light-sensitive diazo compound is exposed to ultraviolet light through a master sheet, and the unexposed areas then develop into a copy, historically popular for reproducing large engineering drawings. Outside the copy shop, chemists also use diazo compounds in dye manufacturing.
