This soft working developing agent is the another popular ingredient found in many film and print developers and no home developing cookbook is complete without it as, with the compound hydroquinone it reduces silver halides to elemental silver. Phenidone is an alternative to Metol for dermatitis suffers. It has five to ten times the developing power as Metol - hence the smaller quantity that we sell it in.

Stella ★★★★★

Finally got around to mixing my own D-76 variant and this Phenidone dissolves cleanly with no residue. The 10g bag is enough for several batches, and the developer soup works exactly as expected.

Claire H. ★★★★★

Mixed a batch of D-76 substitute using this Phenidone A and it dissolved completely with no residue. This is noticeably more active than the Metol I used in my old formulas, so I'll need to adjust my developing times. Works exactly as expected for a standard developer ingredient.

Eva D. ★★★★★

Finally got around to using this in a replenishment developer formula and it mixed in clear and dissolved quickly with no residue. The 10g size is perfect for several test batches without committing to a larger quantity.
