Where professional photography meets chemistry, you'll find the Photographers' Formulary Sodium Carbonate, Anhydrous. This high-quality, pure Sodium Carbonate is a key component in the development process of photographic film and paper, acting as a principal alkali or accelerator.
Crafted by the reputable brand, Photographers' Formulary, this product is specifically designed to meet the unique needs of photographers. It's not just a chemical, but a tool that helps create stunning visual narratives.
Please note, while Balanced Alkali (Kodalk) can be used as a substitute for carbonate or vice versa, Sodium Carbonate does release a gas when added to an acid stop bath or an acid fixing bath. This reaction may cause pinholes or "blistering" to develop in film emulsions.
Choose the Photographers' Formulary Sodium Carbonate, Anhydrous for a reliable, effective solution in your photographic development process.
