Chemical Storage Bottle 2.5L

Description

Chemical Storage Bottle 2.5L

Chemical Storage Bottle 2.5L is an HDPE (that’s High-Density Polyethylene) plastic bottle. It’s what you need to store all types of photographic chemistry. Basic and cheap, these bottles are the standard choice when you want to store darkroom chemicals like developer or fixer.

Chemical Storage Bottles come in a variety of sizes. We have 1L, 2.5L and 5L versions. It is best to get the size closest to the amount of liquid you have to store. Most photographic chemicals will oxidise when you store them over time. Oxidisation is caused by contact with the air. As this the main factor in chemical depletion, you want to get bottles that you will fill to the top. Thus, removing as much air from the container as possible. This is generally good practice when keeping chemicals, and it will mean you chemicals last longer, saving you money.

Develop Your Own Film

We include these chemical storage bottles in our Film Processing Bundles.

If you would like to learn more about developing your own film, you should read our guides How To Develop Black And White Film and How To Develop Colour Film. Both guides will walk you through each step of developing film at home.

Also, check out How To Develop Film At Home for a list of everything you’ll need. How To Prepare Film Developing Chemistry will explain how to get your chemicals ready for processing. Once you’re ready to go, find your Black And White Film Developing Times.
