About Photographers' Formulary Potassium Iodide

For professional photographers seeking to enhance their black and white film development process, the Photographers' Formulary Potassium Iodide is an indispensable tool. This high-quality, reliable chemical is specifically designed to aid in the preparation of mercuric chloride intensifier, a crucial component in the film development process.

One of the key features of this product is its ability to reduce emulsion fog, a common issue in film development that can compromise the clarity and quality of your images. Additionally, it possesses the unique property of dissolving iodine, further contributing to its effectiveness in the film development process.

This durable and effective 1lb Potassium Iodide from Photographers' Formulary is not only a testament to the brand's commitment to quality but also to its understanding of the specific needs of photographers. It's worth noting that this product remains stable under ordinary conditions of use and storage. However, it may turn yellow upon prolonged exposure to air due to the release of iodine, which does not affect its performance or efficacy.

Whether you're a seasoned professional or an amateur enthusiast, this bulk Potassium Iodide offers the convenience of purchasing and storing in large quantities, making it a valuable addition to your photography supplies.
