Photosol PEC-12 Photographic Emulsion Cleaner - 59ml
Photosol PEC-12 is a waterless Photographic Emulsion Cleaner which is suitable for use on most film and print emulsions. It is a blend of organic hydrocarbon solvents with a neutral pH and is free from chlorofluorocarbons and chlorinated hydrocarbons. It dries instantly, leaves no residue and meets archival needs. Because it contains no water, PEC-12 will not cause emulsion swelling, tackiness, water marks or other damage associated with re-washing.
PEC-12 is designed to remove non-water based stains, grease and inks from photographic emulsions and bases. It removes finger oils, grease pencil, adhesive tape residues, mildew, smoke and soot damage, gold foil stamp and most ball-point and permanent inks. It will aid in the removal of firmly affixed adhesive tape. Graphic arts applications include the easy removal of wax and rubylith.
It will remove a wide variety of non-water-soluble residues from many different types of photo materials. Among the materials on which PEC-12 can be safely used are: all modern hardened gelatin films, both B&W and color (including, but not limited to C-41, E-6 and K-14 processes), all modern hardened gelatin prints, both B&W and color, on fiber, resin coated, and polyester bases. This includes prints made with EP-2, RA-4 and Ciba (Ilfo)chrome processes.
PEC-12 should be used sparingly, a little bit goes a long way. In most cases, there is no need to apply it directly onto the photo or film. Apply a drop or two onto a PEC PAD non-abrasive wipes, cotton swab or pad. Don’t drench the applicator with PEC-12 which will waste the solution and will not increase effectiveness.
A detailed explanation regarding the use of PEC-12 can be found here.
Photosol PEC*PAD Non-abrasive Cleaning Wipes 10x10cm / 100 pcs
The Photosol PEC*PAD non-abrasive wipes are strong, lint-free and pure (99.999%). They are so soft and versatile that they can be safely used to clean all types of sensitive surfaces such as film negatives, slides, scanners, lenses,... The pads are available in two convenient sizes and are intent to be used with the Photosol PEC-12 Photographic Emulsion Cleaner. The 10x10cm (4x4 inch) pads are ideal for cleaning 35mm and medium format film negatives. The larger size wipes are more suitable for cleaning sheet film.
The pads can be safely used on all hardened photographic emulsions, including films and papers. Extreme care must be used with 35mm chromogenic film because the base of these films are very easily scratched. They can also be used on coated or uncoated photographic lenses, binoculars and telescopes without scratching delicate coatings.
To clean an image, put the print to be cleaned onto a sheet of glass (light table) or onto the emulsion side of a clean old scrap RC print. Dispense a few drops of liquid onto a clean pad. With the gentle pressure of two or three extended fingers start at one end of the print to be cleaned, and smoothly move your fingers toward the opposite end in a straight line removing contaminants from the emulsion by transferring them to the pad. The procedure for cleaning film negatives is similar without the use of medium to put the negative on. Extremely grimy stains (such sticky tape residue) may need a second or even a third pass (using a clean pad and additional fluid). Any material applied with enough pressure will ultimately cause scratches, but normal, prudent use of PEC*PAD® non-abrasive wipes will provide scratch free cleaning of slides, negatives and prints.
Package contains 100 wipes, size 10x10cm (4x4 inch).
