## Long description

Ilford Washaid 1L is a darkroom washing aid formulated for black-and-white film and paper processing. Presented in a 1-litre container, it is designed to promote faster and more effective removal of alkaline processing chemicals and dissolved silver compounds during the washing stage. The solution is intended for use in studio and lab environments where consistent, cleaner washes and reduced water usage are priorities.
Advantages
Washaid improves the efficiency of the washing step by reducing the surface tension of wash water and promoting the release of residual fixer and other processing by-products from the emulsion. This results in shorter washing times and lower overall water consumption while helping to minimize staining and uneven wash-out. The formula is compatible with standard black-and-white developers, fixers and papers, and can be used with both sheet and roll film processing.
Suitable for
Black-and-white negative film processing in studio or lab darkrooms
Black-and-white photographic paper development
Batch washing of sheet film, roll film or paper in trays, tanks or reels
Situations where reduced water consumption and shorter wash cycles are required

How to use
