About Photographers' Formulary Sodium Phosphate

How to achieve professional-grade results in black and white film development Adorama offers the Photographers' Formulary 10g Sodium Phosphate, Tribasic, an essential chemical for the discerning photographer. This high-quality, pure sodium phosphate serves as a versatile alkali, ideal for substituting caustic and carbonate alkalies during the negative development process. Its efficacy in water softening makes it an indispensable tool for photographers who demand the utmost clarity and longevity from their work.

Moreover, this professional-grade sodium phosphate is highly effective for cleaning and detoxifying vessels and trays previously containing fixer, ensuring a pristine working environment for your photographic materials. As a general cleaner, it is adept at managing spills in the work area and scouring dyepots, maintaining a clean and safe space for your creative endeavors.

While most TV "miracle" cleaners are based on TSP compounds, along with additional carrying agents and coloring, Photographers' Formulary's Sodium Phosphate, Tribasic stands out with its purity and effectiveness tailored for photographic use. Though alternatives such as baking soda, tartaric acid, and other water softeners are available, none match the specific formulation and quality assurance provided by a trusted brand in the photography industry.

Choose Photographers' Formulary's 10g Sodium Phosphate, Tribasic for an effective, professional, and essential component in your photographic development toolkit. Whether you're a seasoned professional or an enthusiastic amateur, this product is designed to meet the exacting standards required for high-quality black and white film development.
