About Photographers' Formulary Borax

Become a master of cleanliness and maintenance in the photography industry with our reliable and high-quality 20lbs Borax from the reputable brand, Photographers' Formulary. This product is not just durable but also offers effective cleaning and disinfecting solutions for your surfaces and equipment.

As a mild alkali accelerator, it is an essential component in fine-grain developers and low-activity developers, enhancing their performance. It also plays a crucial role in certain fixing baths, ensuring your photographs come out perfect every time.

Our 20lbs Borax is also used in some acid hardeners, especially those intended for prints that are to be dried through heated belt driers. This ensures your prints are not only clean but also well-preserved.

In gold toning baths, it serves to render them alkaline and to increase the rate of deposition of gold, giving your photographs that extra shine and professional finish.

Note that our Borax is available as borax pentahydrate, but most commonly as borax decahydrate, the form used in photographic formulas. The old term for decahydrate is crystalline. Rest assured, Borax decahydrate and 20 Mule Team Borax are one and the same, promising you the same high-quality results.

Choose our 20lbs Borax for its affordability and convenience. Available in bulk, it is perfect for those who require large quantities for their photography needs.
