About Photographers' Formulary Sodium Bisulfate

Discover the power and versatility of Photographers' Formulary's 5lbs Sodium Bisulfate, Anhydrous. This pure, professional-grade chemical is an essential tool for any serious photographer, especially those working with black and white film development.

Sodium Bisulfate serves multiple purposes in the photography process. It acts as an effective acid rinse and stop bath, ensuring your images are developed with precision and clarity. When combined with sodium acetate, it can be used as a reliable substitute for acetic acid, providing a cost-effective and high-quality alternative.

Moreover, this versatile compound can be paired with sodium chloride to create a substitute for hydrochloric acid. This makes it an invaluable asset in the darkroom, offering a safe and effective solution for a range of photographic processes.

Additionally, Sodium Bisulfate is used as a potent bleach in holographic processes, helping to create stunning, high-contrast images.

Despite its powerful properties, this product remains stable under ordinary conditions of use and storage. It's hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs moisture from the air, ensuring it stays in optimal condition for longer.
