When it comes to preserving the quality of your black and white film and paper, the NH-5 Non-Hardening Fixer is a top-tier choice. As the first stable, ready-to-use photographic rapid fixing agent on the market, NH-5 is designed to cater to the specific needs of photographers.

Available in two variants, with or without hardener, NH-5 offers flexibility in usage. The version with hardener is a two-component fixer, where Part A comprises the fixing agent and other essential components, while Part B contains the hardening agent. This option is ideal for photographers who prefer to control the hardener level themselves.

On the other hand, NH-5 without hardener is the most economical choice, perfect for those seeking cost-effective solutions without compromising on quality.

One of the standout features of NH-5 is its impressive processing capacity. A single gallon of NH-5 at film dilution can process an average of 100 - 8 x 10 films or plates, or approximately 100 -120 rolls of film. Similarly, one gallon at print dilution can process approximately 100 - 8x10 prints.

In essence, the NH-5 Non-Hardening Fixer for Black & White Film and Paper is a versatile, efficient, and economical solution for photographers looking to maintain the integrity of their work.
