Ilford Ilfostop Stop Bath (500ml)
Key Features
  • Liquid Concentrate
  • Use For Black and White Film
  • Minimal Odor
  • Use for Tank, Tray or Dish Processing
Ilford Ilfostop is a low odor acid stop bath. Normally, when development is completed, films and papers are subjected to a stop bath rinse. This immediately halts the developing process by neutralizing the developer.

Following this, the film or print is exposed to fixer (hypo). The advantage of the stop bath process is that it extends the life of the fixer. Some people do not use stop bath and, in that case, you must use an inordinate amount of fixer to erase the effects of the developer. If a stop bath is not available or chosen, the film or print should be thoroughly soaked in a water bath or rinse - with frequent changing of the water supply. Stop bath gives you the assurance that your developing stage is completely "over" and that none of the developer will be carried over to the fixer.

Great stop bath, works wonderfully, easy to mix, good shelf life, works far past the expiry date. only better stop bath is Kodak Indicator Stop Bath, wich sadly cannot be shipped, so I would suggest that if you live near a camera shop. Otherwise, or if you use all Ilford chemicals, Great choice.

I mean, it's Ilford. 5* obv

I'm just loving the Ilford solutions and I figured since I'm using the Ilford family of developer, to use this stop bath. No complaints, I love the results i'm getting. I've used with Ilfostop, Ilfotec 3 and Ilfotec DDX.
