Canadian Chemical Supplier for Diafine

[kirkmacatangay]

So I cannot find Diafine in Canada. I found the DIY recipe but I cannot find a chemical supplier for all the chemicals in Canada. Can anyone point me to a Canadian company that can help me get the necessary supplies? The recipe is;

PART A
WATER 750 ML
SODIUM SULFITE 40.0 G
HYDROQUINONE 7.5 G
SODIUM HEXAMETAPHOSPHATE 1.25 G
CITRIC ACID 1.25 G
POTASIUM BROMIDE 1.25 G
1-PHENYL-3-PYRAZOLIDONE .3 G
WATER TO MAKE 1000 ML
PH=7.2



PART B
WATER 750 ML
SODIUM SULFITE 52 G
SODIUM CARBONATE MONO HYDRATE 20 G
SODIUM BICARBONATE 5 G
SODIUM PHOSPHATE, TRI BASIC 3.0 G
WATER TO MAKE 1000 ML

PH=8.8

Thank you, Argentix has Diafine on back order for the last few months. Argentix has some but not all the chemicals.

There is a "simplified" version of this formula that uses just the more common ingredients (easier to source)... Worked well, but slightly less Dmax which might help tame difficult contrasts... Sorry I don't have formula handy, but didn't have trouble finding it online...

Good luck!!!
