Because precision and quality are paramount in the art of photography, Adorama offers the 10g Sodium Thiosulfate (Hypo), Penta (Prismatic Rice) - an effective, high-quality, and reliable choice for photographers seeking to perfect their developing process. This premium-grade sodium thiosulfate is a crucial component in the preparation of fixing baths, ensuring that images are preserved with clarity and stability. As a key ingredient in various photographic reducers, it plays an essential role in the reduction of silver halide crystals, facilitating the creation of enduring and vivid black and white images.
Our Sodium Thiosulfate is conveniently available in the crystalline penta form, also known as Prismatic Rice, which is favored for its consistent performance. When dissolved, this form is known to lower the temperature of the water, an important consideration for photographers who demand precise control over their developing conditions. To achieve optimal results, it is recommended to begin with water at a temperature of at least 90°F (32°C) when mixing this crystalline hypo.
For those who prefer an alternative, the anhydrous form of hypo can be used by adjusting the quantity to 64% of the crystalline hypo amount. This flexibility allows photographers to choose the form that best suits their workflow and environmental conditions.
Choosing Adorama's Sodium Thiosulfate means opting for a product that is specifically formulated for photographic applications, ensuring safety and convenience without compromising on quality. Trust in a brand that is synonymous with the highest standards in photography products, and elevate your developing process with the assurance that comes from using a product designed with your artistry in mind.
