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.

CAN BE USED ON X RAY FILMS ?
Yes. We suggest a three minute fix in Ilford Rapid Fixer for 1+4 and a five-minute wash for x-ray film usage. But this is something an end-user needs to experiment with.

How long is Ilford Rapid Fixer good in an unopened bottle?
I don't process a lot of B&W films. I also do it for fun so the result is not very critical.

After mixing the concentrate with water. What is the maximum time to be able to reuse it again?
This type of information is available from the manufacturer, and more reliable to get it from them than from random people on the Internet. For what it's worth, when I mix a batch of Rapid Fixer, I put a piece of tape on the bottle with the date mixed. When I pull out the chemicals to do a developing session, if my mixed Rapid Fixer is more than about a month old, I throw it out. No idea if that's excessively risky or conservative, but that's what I do. Signed, random person on the Internet.
