PHOTOCHEM Sodium Metaborate(kodalk)per 500gm (05512-0500)
Sodium metaborate (chemical formula: NaBO₂) is a white, crystalline or powdery compound that is alkaline and water-soluble. It is derived from boric acid and is often used in chemical formulations where a mild base is required. In photography, sodium metaborate is commonly used as a buffering agent in film and paper developers, especially in formulas like Kodak D-23 or D-76. It helps maintain a stable alkaline pH, which is essential for consistent and controlled development of black-and-white images. Sodium metaborate can also act as a mild accelerator, allowing developers to work more effectively without being overly aggressive. It contributes to fine grain, good tonal range, and predictable development times, making it a reliable component in traditional photographic chemistry.
