For centuries, the art and science of photography have relied on precise chemical formulations to capture and preserve moments in time. Central to the development process is the 'fixing' stage, where unexposed silver halides are dissolved, rendering the image permanent and light-stable. Sodium Thiosulfate Pentahydrate, widely known in the photographic community as 'hypo', is the cornerstone of this process. As a dedicated manufacturer and supplier of high-quality chemicals, we provide Sodium Thiosulfate Pentahydrate (CAS 10102-17-7) essential for achieving photographic excellence.

The chemical action of Sodium Thiosulfate Pentahydrate is elegant and effective. When applied to exposed photographic film or paper, it readily dissolves the unexposed silver halide crystals. These crystals, if left on the emulsion, would darken upon exposure to light, ruining the intended image. The thiosulfate ion forms soluble silver complexes, such as [Ag(S2O3)2]3−, which are then washed away. This meticulous removal is what stabilizes the photographic image, ensuring its longevity and clarity. For those looking to buy this critical component, sourcing from a reputable supplier like us guarantees the purity and consistency needed for predictable results.

Photographic professionals and enthusiasts alike depend on the reliability of their chemicals. Our Sodium Thiosulfate Pentahydrate, with its guaranteed ≥99.0% MIN assay, meets the stringent requirements of both traditional darkroom processes and modern alternative photographic techniques. Whether you are developing black and white film, printing photographs, or experimenting with historical photographic processes, the quality of your fixer directly impacts the final output. We offer this essential chemical in various pack sizes, catering to both small-scale darkroom users and larger processing labs.
