Photographers' Formulary 10lbs Borax

From photography to gold toning, our 10lbs Borax is a versatile product that serves a multitude of purposes. As a mild alkali accelerator, it is commonly used in fine-grain developers and low activity solutions, enhancing the development process of your photographic endeavors.

In addition to its role in photography, this Borax also finds its place in certain fixing baths, providing a reliable and effective solution for your photographic needs. It's also a key ingredient in some acid hardeners, particularly those designed for prints that are to be dried through heated belt driers, ensuring your prints retain their quality and integrity.

For those in the gold toning industry, our 10lbs Borax acts as an alkalizing agent in gold toning baths, increasing the rate of gold deposition for a more efficient and effective process.

Please note, our Borax is available in two forms: borax, pentahydrate and borax, decahydrate. The latter is most commonly used in photographic formulas and is also known as crystalline. Rest assured, our Borax, decahydrate, and 20 Mule Team Borax are one and the same, offering you consistent quality and performance across all applications.
