 I did a search for "activator" on the Kodak MSDS site. It came up with
this list of ingredients:

COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS
 
Weight % - Component - (CAS Registry No.)
 
 85-90 Water (007732-18-5)
  5-10 Potassium hydroxide (001310-58-3)
  1-5 Potassium sulfite (010117-38-1)
  1-5 Sodium sulfite (007757-83-7)
  < 1 Potassium bromide (007758-02-3)
