Description

Ilford Rapid Fixer 500ml

Ilford Rapid Fixer 500ml is a non-hardening rapid fixer. Ideal for both film and paper. This is a liquid concentrate that you dilute with water for use. Making it is easy and convenient to use.

It will work well in the temperature range of 18-40ºC (66-104ºF) to fix black and white film and paper in all manual and machine processing applications.

The fixing agent in Rapid Fixer is ammonium thiosulphate. It contains no sodium thiosulphate (hypo).

Remember you can reuse your diluted fixer several times. So, 500ml will go a long way! We recommend a Chemical Storage Bottle 1L to keep your diluted fixer in.

Ilford Rapid Fixer is also available in 1L and 5L bottles.

How To Use

To fix film, dilute Ilford Rapid Fixer 1+4. That means one part fix to four parts of water. For paper, you need to dilute it 1+9. So one part fixer to nine parts water. Make sure you mix together thoroughly before use.
