Hello,
I purchased a 500ml bottle of Kodak Photo-Flo. It's
*concentrated*, but I'm
not sure about the dilution. 1:200? 1:600? There's no info
on the bottle
(only health warnings)
Please note it's the french version (maybe different).

Thanks for suggestions

One possibility is to contact the Kodak office for Italy
in Milan and ask. The number is: 39-2-660-28710

I looked for French MSDS on the Kodak web site and found
2 for Photo-Flo without any further name. From the
ingredients both appear to be Photo-Flo 600. There is also
am MSDS for Photo-Flo 600 under that name. The concentration
of ingredients indicate that all three are the 600 variety.
The dilution given for working strength of the unspecified
kind is approximately 1.67 ml to make a liter, which is
right for the Photo-Flo 600 version. The ingredients look
about the same as for the US version of Photo-Flo 600.
I can't gurantee this is what you have so I think a call
to the local Kodak office is in order.
Photo-Flo works well at about half the strength
recommended by Kodak. A good final rinse consists of:
Distilled or boiled and filtered water to 1.0 liter
Isopropyl alcohol, 99% 25.0 ml
Kodak Photo-Flow, at half the recommended amount whatever
that is for the version you have.
Isopropyl rubbing alcohol can be used if it doesn't have
anything else in it, like Oil of Wintergreen or other
flavorings, the amount will be about 35 ml/liter. The
amounts are not at all critical. Soak the film in this
mixture for about one minute with gentle agitation and hang
up to dry without squeegeeing.
