Ilfotol is a non-ionic wetting agent which is used as a final rinse before drying films. It can be used in all manual and machine processes to aid rapid, even drying and so greatly reduce the risk of drying marks being formed. Ilfotol can also be used as a final rinse before drying fibre based prints, again it promotes rapid, even drying. Additionally it can be used to clean glass and plastic lenses and filters and as an anti-static treatment. Mixing instructions and use as a final rinse for film we recommend starting with a solution of 5ml of the wetting agent for each litre of rinse water (1+ 200).


The dilution of Ilfotol needed is dependant on a number of factors and may need some adjustment to get optimum performance for a particular set of circumstances. Performance may vary due the local water quality, the type of processor in use, drying method, etc.

Jason ★★★★★

A couple drops in the final rinse and my negatives dry completely spot-free, even in our hard water. One liter lasts forever since you dilute it so much, and it cuts drying time noticeably. This is the only wetting agent I'll buy again.

David R. ★★★★★

I was skeptical about whether a final rinse agent could make a real difference, but this one really does—my negatives are spotlessly clean and dry evenly in minutes, with zero residue or streaks.

David ★★★★★

Finally, no more water spots ruining my scans. A few drops in the final rinse and the film dries perfectly clear and streak-free each time. This 1L bottle will last ages for home developing.
