Photographers' Formulary Sodium Thiosulfate (Hypo) Penta (Prismatic Rice) (10g)
This 10g Sodium Thiosulfate (Hypo), Penta (Prismatic Rice) delivers exceptional performance for photographers dedicated to refining their development techniques. This laboratory-grade compound functions as an essential element in fixing solution preparation, guaranteeing image longevity and tonal precision.
Instrumental in photographic reduction chemistry, it facilitates the transformation of silver halide crystals, contributing to the production of archival-quality black and white imagery. Among the select compounds capable of silver bromide dissolution, Photographers' Formulary Sodium Thiosulfate remains indispensable in contemporary photographic methodologies. During the critical fixation stage, it chemically binds with unexposed silver bromide, generating soluble complex thiosulfates that permanently stabilize the photographic image.
The crystalline penta form of our Sodium Thiosulfate, recognized as Prismatic Rice, offers dependable performance characteristics valued by technical photographers. This specific formulation exhibits endothermic properties during dissolution, effectively reducing solution temperature—a critical factor for practitioners requiring exacting development parameter control. For optimal dissolution kinetics and chemical efficacy, preparation should commence with water preheated to a minimum of 90°F (32°C) when incorporating this crystalline hypo into your photographic chemistry workflow.
Photography professionals requiring compositional alternatives may implement anhydrous hypo by applying a precise 64% conversion ratio relative to prescribed crystalline hypo measurements. This stoichiometric adaptability affords practitioners the analytical discretion to select the most appropriate chemical configuration based on procedural methodologies, ambient atmospheric variables, and specific processing objectives within their photographic development systems.
