Description

Kodak Indicator Stop Bath 473ml

Kodak Indicator Stop Bath is a traditional acetic acid stop bath. After development, we recommend that you rinse films and papers in an acid stop bath. This will stop development immediately. A stop bath will also neutralise the developer to help maintain the activity of the fixer bath.

A stop bath will literally stop the action of a developer, by neutralizing any of its chemical still present. It will also help to maintain the activity of the fixer solution. While some people are happy not to use a stop bath. It will help prolong the life of your fix. The reason is, it will reduce carryover of excess developer into the fixer bath. By using a stop bath, your chemicals will last longer. Helping you save money and reduce waste.

Additionally, this stop bath has an indicator. So it will change colour to signal when it is exhausted and you can no longer use it.

This bottle will make up 30 litres of stop solution.

How To Use

To prepare your stop bath, dilute Kodak Indicator Stop Bath 1+63. That means one part stop to sixty-three parts water. The dilution is the same for both paper and film processing. Make sure you mix together thoroughly before use.
