About Photographers' Formulary Sodium Carbonate

From the trusted brand of Photographers' Formulary comes the 1lbs Sodium Carbonate, Monohydrate, a key component in the development process of photography. This high-quality Sodium Carbonate serves as a principal alkali, acting as an accelerator in the development of photographic images. It's a versatile product that can be used interchangeably with Balanced Alkali (Kodalk), offering flexibility in your photographic processes. However, it's important to note that when Sodium Carbonate is combined with an acid stop bath or an acid fixing bath, it releases a gas that may lead to the development of pinholes or "blistering" in film emulsions. This product is ideal for professional photographers and hobbyists alike who are looking for reliable and consistent results in their film development process.
