[ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND] € At ADOX Liquid Chemistry, we are gradually switching to the new dosing dispensers. This makes it easier for you to measure out liquid concentrates. The safety cap has the additional function of a dosing dispenser, remains on the bottle and does not need to be removed. We prefer stoppers to seals, as oxidation problems have always occurred with seals in the past. Plugs provide a cleaner and tighter seal; and should dried developer ever form between the plug and the cap, it cannot fall into the bottle at all when the bottle is closed, and only with great difficulty when open, due to the small hole. Oxidised and dried-out developer accelerates the deterioration of fresh chemicals! ADOX chemical bottles and caps are also made in a transparent colour so that you can visually check the condition of your concentrates. Contaminants on the cap are thus easy to spot, allowing you to rinse the cap. For safety reasons, all ADOX chemical concentrates are fitted with a child-resistant cap. € [ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND][ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]

Dear Mirko, ? So if I want to perform a dilution of a litre of Fix in a 5-litre container, does that mean I’ll have to squeeze the whole lot through that tiny hole from now on? It’s fine for Rodinal or similar, where I only need a few millilitres. But with paper developer, which requires 200 ml per batch at a 1:4 dilution, that can get a bit of a faff.

Surely the plug can be prised out.

The stopper comes off easily. Much better than the old Calbe stoppers, which you couldn’t even get out with a can opener. Measuring out 200 ml through the stopper takes about 15–20 seconds without any splashing or having to tip the bottle back. It’s a bit of a matter of practice as to which method is quicker. € If you’re mixing Fix in a 5-litre canister, you might as well buy the fixer in a 5-litre canister too – it’s got a big hole in it, of course :-) € [ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]

> If you’re preparing the Fix in a 5-litre container, you might as well buy the fixer in a 5-litre container too, as € 5 litres of concentrate is not the same as 5 litres of working solution. € I once had some containers that went off (despite a fairly high throughput) due to sulphur precipitation. Besides, containers aren’t easy to post.

Hello, I’ve just had a chance to familiarise myself with the new system using a bottle of FX39. I’m not exactly thrilled, but it’s certainly better than the mouldy cardboard seals in the cap that you sometimes get. What I’d like to know is: Do the bottles still seal airtight even with the stopper removed? Or does the missing millimetre of height at the top of the neck have a negative effect? ?

Do the bottles still seal airtight even with the stopper removed?

No, not as well as with the stopper in place. But you can easily test this by squeezing the bottle.
