Film developer Kodak Professional HC-110 concentrate — for making 16 L (1058692)

Kodak Professional HC-110 concentrate is a black-and-white film developer supplied as a concentrated formula designed to produce up to 16 liters of working solution. The concentrate allows precise control over development activity by adjusting dilution and development time, making it suitable for a variety of film types and processing workflows in the darkroom. This developer is intended for use where a larger batch or continuous replenishment is required, providing consistent development characteristics across multiple rolls or sheet film.

Advantages

HC-110 concentrate offers flexibility in dilution ratios to tailor contrast and grain according to film type and desired results. Its concentrated form reduces storage space and shipping volume compared with ready-to-use solutions while enabling preparation of large volumes for batch processing. The formula is known for good shelf life when stored properly and for producing predictable results when development times and dilutions are followed. It is compatible with standard black-and-white negative films and can be used in trays, tanks, and automated processors with appropriate mixing.

Suitable for

• Developing multiple 35mm or 120 rolls in a batch
• Processing sheet film in darkroom tanks
• Situations requiring large-volume developer preparation or replenishment
• Users who need adjustable development by changing dilution and time

Key specifications

• Type: Concentrated black-and-white film developer
• Working solution volume produced: 16 liters when mixed according to instructions
• Application: Film development for negatives (roll and sheet film)
• Compatibility: Suitable for common B&W negative films and for use in tanks, trays and processors
• Storage: Concentrate should be stored sealed and protected from extreme temperatures and light

How to use

Measure the concentrate and mix with the appropriate amount of water to obtain the desired dilution, following the manufacturer’s dilution guidelines for the target film and development times. Prepare only the quantity of working solution needed for the session to maintain activity and consistency. Use standard darkroom procedures for film loading, agitation, temperature control and timing. After development, stop bath and fixation should be applied according to normal darkroom practice, followed by thorough washing and drying of the negatives.

Usage recommendations

For consistent results, maintain recommended processing temperature and use freshly prepared working solution for critical work. Record dilution and development times for each film type and emulsion to build a reference. Dispose of exhausted chemicals in accordance with local regulations and avoid prolonged storage of mixed solution to preserve activity.
