Ilford Rapid Fixer is a non-hardening rapid fixer supplied as a liquid concentrate that should be diluted with water for use. It is easy and convenient to use in the range of 18°C (66°F) for fixing black and white film and paper in all manual and machine processing applications. The fixing process assures that the latent image remains on the film or paper. This step is general preceded by a stop rinse and followed by a hypo wash to remove any trace of the fixer which might cause staining and degradation of the image.
At a 1+4 dilution, RC papers should be fixed from 30 seconds to 1 minute. Fiber based prints should be fixed for 1-2 minutes depending on the dilution. It should be noted that Ilford recommends that gloves, eye protection, apron or overall be worn when handling and mixing all chemicals. Ilford Rapid Fixer must not be used with other fixing hardeners. The fixing agent in Ilford Rapid Fixer is ammonium thiosulphate and contains no sodium thiosulphate (hypo).
This fixer is good for approximately 600 135–36 films or 2000 20.3 x 25.4cm (8 x 10") RC prints or 1000 20.3 x 25.4cm (8 x 10") FB prints.

Comments about Ilford Rapid Fixer (Liquid,5 Liters):
I've been using Ilford Rapid Fixer for a while now. Ilford makes a good product. The downside is the shipping for the large size. It's worth it for me as it is one less chemical I have to mix myself, and even with shipping it is still cheaper than the smaller containers. I just order it when I need other items to maximize my shipping dollar.

Comments about Ilford Rapid Fixer (Liquid,5 Liters):
I'm using this for black and white film and paper. On film, it will remove the tint found on many films these days, with extra time and effort.
The five litre economy size saves some dollars. The bottle has a wide mouth, apparently to allow easier filling of dunk tanks. If you use trays or spiral tanks, you will want a funnel to transfer from the large bottle into a smaller one.

Comments about Ilford Rapid Fixer (Liquid,5 Liters):
Like it says, easy and convenient. I use it for b+w film and have done so for 30+ years. Non-hardening rapid fixers fix film rapidly (yup!) and wash more quickly. Saves time and saves water.
