Ilford Ilfotol Overview

Ilford Ilfotol is a non-ionic wetting agent used as a final rinse before drying films.

Ilfotol can be used in all manual and machine processes to aid rapid, even drying and so greatly reduce the risk of drying marks being formed.

Ilfotol can also be used as a final rinse before drying fibre based prints, again it promotes rapid, even drying. Additionally it can be used to clean glass and plastic lenses and filters and as an anti-static treatment.

I found a video online that had a recipe for homemade vinyl record cleaning solution, which included Ilfotol. After checking some other sources to make sure it was safe for vinyl I placed my order online.  BTW: B&H was the only shop I could find that had it in stock, even the manufacturer's website was backordered.

At the recommended dilution 1+200 you can make 200 Liters of wetting agent. So basically this bottle will last you forever.

Mix 4:1 ratio Isopropyl alcohol and distilled water. Stir. Add 4-5ML Ilford Ilfotol. Stir. Let sit for an hour. You got a solid record cleaning solution!

I use this to minimize and eliminate water marks on the negatives. It works very well on all my films.

Yes, if heavily diluted but I would recommend just using water and a pec pad to clean up drying marks

Asked by: Giovanna
This will work like the Kodak Photo-Flo 200 Solution (16 oz, 05/23 Expiration), B&H # KOPF200PE, though only for black & white film and paper. There is this as an alternative to have color processing in addition to black & white processing: Kodak Photo-Flo 200 Solution (16 oz), B&H # KOPF200P https://bhpho.to/46j5bAO

question

I've seen some include ILFOTOL in their home-made vinyl record cleaning fluids. Can I assume it to be safe and effective, combined with alcohol, as many record cleaners contain, anyway ? I don't know if ILFOTOL is alcohol-based, anyway.
Asked by: Anonymous
There is no alcohol in Ilfotol. I am using for the same purpose in a Spin Clean record cleaner. Alcohol should not be used on vinyl as it will eventually make vinyl brittle. Recommended mixture = 2 drops to 1 gal distilled water plus .4-.5 oz distilled white vinegar. That's all.

question

Can this be used for both B&W and Color Negatives?
Asked by: Jason T.
Yes, should be safe for both. It's basically a detergent.
