Photographers' Formulary 5lbs Sodium Carbonate, Monohydrate

Bring your photography development process to the next level with the Photographers' Formulary Sodium Carbonate, Monohydrate. This 5lbs pack of Sodium Carbonate, often used as a principal alkali or accelerator, is a crucial component in the development process of photography.

Whether you're a seasoned professional or a budding enthusiast, this product is a valuable addition to your photography toolkit.
