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 for 1-2 minutes. Fiber based prints should be fixed for 1-2 minutes.

It should be noted that Ilford recommends that gloves, eye protection, apron or overall be worn when handling and mixing all chemicals.

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.

Note! 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)

Use in the temperature range of 18-40ºC (66-104ºF)
Quantity 5 liter (5.3 quarts, approx)

        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.

            For a number of years I have used Ilford Rapid Fix for both film and paper. There is no better non hardening rapid fix available at such a reasonable price. Ilford quality and dependability is unsurpassed.

            This product is great because it saves money and the hassle of traveling to photo stores where all they do is jack up the prices.

                  I use it for film and fibre prints. The time savings is well worth the $$$. Which is very important to me.
