Instant pH control with a built-in exhaustion indicator—trusted by darkroom users since day one.
What Makes It Essential
The Kodak Indicator Stop Bath is a non-hardening, acidic solution designed to instantly halt development of B&W film and prints. Its standout feature? A built-in color-changing pH indicator that transitions from pale yellow to bluish-purple, alerting you exactly when it’s time to refresh—ensuring precise, consistent results and prolonging the life of your fixer.
Key Benefits
-
Precise development control – neutralizes developers immediately, locking in your chosen contrast and density.
-
Indicator alert – changes color when exhausted, so you never accidentally under-stop a batch.
-
Non-hardening formula – safe for both films and papers; won’t over-harden gelatin layers.
-
Highly concentrated – just 1 part concentrate to 63 parts water, yielding 8 gallons of working solution per bottle.
-
Cost-effective & reliable – a trusted staple in both home and pro labs; economical and easy to monitor use.
Important Considerations
-
Ground shipping only (classified as Limited Quantity Hazardous)—cannot ship via air or to PO boxes.
-
Strong vinegar-like smell in concentrate—proper ventilation is recommended
