Photographers' Formulary 20lbs Sodium Carbonate, Anhydrous

Are you looking for a pure, professional-grade chemical for your photographic development needs Adorama presents the Photographers' Formulary Sodium Carbonate, an anhydrous compound that serves as a principal alkali in the development process of black and white film. This high-quality, effective product ensures reliable results for both amateur and professional photographers.

Crafted to meet the exacting standards of the photographic community, this sodium carbonate is a versatile accelerator that can be used interchangeably with Balanced Alkali (Kodalk), providing flexibility in your developing routine.

Please be aware that when using sodium carbonate, certain precautions are necessary. It is important to note that when added to an acid stop bath or an acid fixing bath, sodium carbonate can release a gas. This reaction has the potential to cause pinholes or "blistering" in film emulsions, so it is crucial to handle the product with care and follow proper safety protocols.
