About Photographers' Formulary Sodium Citrate

Let the Photographers' Formulary Sodium Citrate elevate your photography to new heights. This pure, professional-grade chemical is a crucial component in the world of photography, often used in the development and fixing stages of the photographic process.

Sodium Citrate is a key ingredient in the sizing/salting solution for Albumen printing, a technique that requires high-quality paper like hand-made or mould-made watercolor paper. The paper is soaked in a salt solution, often a combination of sodium citrate and ammonium chloride, typically around 4% by weight, and then dried.

In a controlled light environment, the paper is then brushed with a generous coating of silver nitrate solution, usually around 12% by weight. This solution may also contain a small amount of citric acid. The paper is then dried in darkness or very subdued light to prevent premature exposure.

This high-quality, effective, and reliable Sodium Citrate from Photographers' Formulary is a must-have for any serious photographer or photography enthusiast looking to produce professional-grade Albumen prints.
