ADOX ADOFLO II 500ml – The Ultimate Wetting Agent

In the world of analog photography, every detail counts. Whether you’re working in a home darkroom or a professional lab, achieving clean, streak-free negatives and glossy, dust-free prints is essential. That’s where ADOX ADOFLO II 500ml comes into play. This high-performance, concentrated wetting agent is an indispensable part of any film photographer’s toolkit. Designed to enhance water flow, prevent water marks, and provide antistatic protection, ADOX ADOFLO II 500ml delivers consistent, professional-quality results in both black & white and color photographic processes.

What is ADOX ADOFLO II 500ml?

ADOX ADOFLO II 500ml is a premium-quality wetting agent that dramatically improves the drying process of photographic films and resin-coated (RC) papers. When used in the final rinse, it reduces surface tension, enabling water to sheet off more evenly. This results in faster drying with minimal water spots or drying marks—ideal for film scanning and archival storage.

Whether you’re processing 35mm, 120, or large format film, ADOX ADOFLO II 500ml ensures that each frame dries clean and clear. It also works exceptionally well with RC photo paper, enhancing surface gloss and reducing the risk of micro-dust attraction.

Key Features of ADOX ADOFLO II 500ml

• ✅ Highly Concentrated Formula: Just a small amount goes a long way. ADOFLO II is one of the most concentrated wetting agents on the market.
• ✅ Antistatic Properties: It prevents dust and lint from sticking to your negatives during drying—especially helpful in humid or dusty environments.
• ✅ Even Water Flow: Reduces surface tension, ensuring even sheeting of water on film or paper for uniform drying.
• ✅ Compatible with B&W and Color: Works seamlessly with all common photographic development processes.
• ✅ Gloss Enhancement: Boosts surface sheen on RC photo papers, making prints look more professional.
• ✅ Reduces Drying Time: Makes the drying process quicker and safer, minimizing chances of scratches or marks.

Why Use a Wetting Agent Like ADOX ADOFLO II 500ml?

Drying is often the overlooked step in the film development process—but it’s one of the most crucial. Without a proper wetting agent, water droplets cling to the surface of film or paper, leaving behind unsightly mineral marks or uneven drying patches. ADOX ADOFLO II 500ml addresses all of these issues in one simple step.

Additionally, the antistatic formula helps reduce the attraction of dust to freshly developed film—particularly important before scanning or archiving your negatives.

How to Use ADOX ADOFLO II 500ml

Using ADOX ADOFLO II 500ml is quick and easy. Just follow these simple steps:

1. After the final rinse, prepare a dilution of ADOFLO II—typically around 1+200 (2.5ml in 500ml of water).
2. Submerge your film or RC paper in the solution for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
3. Hang the film to dry in a dust-free environment.
4. Avoid wiping the film; let the solution do its job for spot-free results.

For larger processing tanks or trays, scale the dilution accordingly. Remember, a little goes a long way!

Who Should Use ADOX ADOFLO II 500ml?

• Darkroom Enthusiasts: Whether you’re processing rolls at home or in a dedicated lab, this product ensures clean results every time.
• Professional Photographers: High-volume users will appreciate the economy and reliability of a highly concentrated formula.
• Printmakers: Enhance gloss on resin-coated paper for gallery-worthy prints.
• Educational Institutions: Perfect for film schools and photography workshops.

If your goal is to preserve film in pristine condition, improve scanning results, or simply produce high-quality images, ADOX ADOFLO II 500ml is a must-have chemical in your darkroom setup.

Comparison with Other Wetting Agents

There are several wetting agents on the market, including Ilfotol, FotoFlo, and others. However, ADOX ADOFLO II 500ml stands apart due to its higher concentration and antistatic properties.

• Kodak Photo-Flo 200 is reliable but lacks the gloss enhancement ADOFLO II offers for RC paper.
• Ilford Ilfotol is excellent but may require higher dosages compared to ADOFLO II’s economical usage rate.
