About Photographers' Formulary Sodium Carbonate

Become a master of your craft with the Photographers' Formulary Sodium Carbonate, Monohydrate. This high-quality, pure sodium carbonate is a key component in the photographic development process, acting as a principal alkali or accelerator. Sourced from the reputable brand, Photographers' Formulary, this product is specifically designed to meet the unique needs of professional photographers.

While Balanced Alkali (Kodalk) can be used as an alternative, our Sodium Carbonate, Monohydrate is tailored for those seeking reliable and effective results in their photographic development. However, it's important to note that when added to an acid stop bath or an acid fixing bath, sodium carbonate releases a gas that may cause pinholes or "blistering" to develop in film emulsions.

Whether you're a seasoned professional or an enthusiastic amateur, the Photographers' Formulary Sodium Carbonate, Monohydrate is an essential tool in your photography toolkit. Elevate your photographic development process with this specialized, high-quality product.
