Pyrocat HD source?

[RodinalDuchamp]

Where do you guys get your pyrocat HD. I see photographers formulary has a powder kit but it doesn't specify if it is part A and B or if its both together.

Are there any sources for pyrocat HD in premixed liquid form?

The only source I know of for premixed liquid form is the Formulary which has both powder and liquid kits. I'm sure the powder kits don't mix A and B or the mixed developer wouldn't last longer than a couple minutes. Mixing it yourself is really the best option IMO.

I prefer the convenience of a commercially premixed product since their quality and consistency is higher than what in could currently achieve. I called freestyle and they only carry pyrogallol in liquid

I think the easiest solution is to buy the Pyrocat-HD in glycol pre-mixed from Photographers Formulary. It comes in two plastic bottles, parts A and B. You mix tiny amounts to make the working solution. There was a long thread on shelf life, the recommendation was to transfer the solutions from the plastic bottles to brown glass bottles for storage. (Which is exactly what I've done.)

I buy my raw chemicals from Artcraft and mix my own. I've been using the HD version and I've had the 1 liter solutions that I've mixed last well over a year. Lately I go through each liter bottle much faster due to the ULF negatives I develop. I've never wanted to buy water.

Probably a good idea to buy it pre-mixed from Formulary, at least to start. Catechol (Pyrocat does not contain pyrogallol by the way) is a relatively nasty compound.

RD, The Formulary sells the liquid kits...as suggested...get the in glycol version. The dry kits are just that...all the stuff to make both A & B...prepackaged in individually sealed packets.

I buy my raw chemicals from Bostick& Sullivan, and my propylene glycol from RV supply store where it is sold as antifreeze for drinking water systems.

OK I spoke to PF directly and they in fact do sell it in liquid form. Thanks.
