Is HC-110 no more?

HC-110 is famous for its keeping qualities in concentrate. I just mix it as needed right from concentrate.

That seems like a pipe dream, so in the darkroom (and kitchen) I avoid proprietary formulas when it's practical to do so. It's too disruptive to keep having the rug pulled out by a discontinuation or ... um ... improvement.

Yep, I decided lomg ago to collect my own formulary and make chemistry I can control..It's pretty easy to make the stuff.

To be fair, Kodak has published formulas in the past, as Drew suggests. My post may have been excessively cranky. Openness doesn't seem like the contemporary Kodak's M.O.

Update:

For those in Canada having difficulty finding HC-110, I can recommend Film Plus in Toronto.
I just bought 3 bottles of the stuff for $30/ea. and they will deliver.
By comparison, Henry's lists it at $42.00.

And with our current (crappy) exchange rate, their sheet film prices are on a par with B&H's.

I thought Kodak branded chemicals were now being made by the third party in Canada?

Which third party?
You mean the New Democrats?

I thought Kodak I did chemicals were being made by a third-party in general, specifically Tentenal I think.

That's why all the bottles got switched to 1 L and changed shape I thought.
