When fix and wash times can be extended the 

maximum amount of HYPAM HARDENER needed 

to achieve fully hardened films is 1 part to 40 

parts working strength HYPAM i.e. 24 ml per litre.

ILFORD RAPID FIXER and ILFORD ILFOFIX II must 

not be used with fix hardeners as they are not 

compatible with them. If a fix hardener is required 

then only ILFORD HYPAM fixer can be used. Add 

ILFORD HYPAM HARDENER to turn HYPAM  into a 

hardening fixer.

 

 

Generally for most applications modern camera 

films are sufficiently hardened at manufacture. 

Additional hardening from a fixer hardener is not 

usually needed or recommended for processing in 

spiral tanks, dishes/trays, deep tanks, rotary 

processors, dip and dunk (hanger) machines and 

short leader card processors, unless the processing 

temperature is above 30ºC (86ºF), or poor drying 

performance is being experienced. To minimise the 

risk of physical damage a fixer hardener may be 

needed when using a roller transport film

 

processor.

 

 

Using a fix hardener will require the recommended 

fix and wash times to be extended. Depending on 

the film and processing conditions the hardened

 

fix time will be between 4 and 10 minutes and the 

subsequent wash time 10–20 minutes in running 

water.

 

 

The amount of HYPAM HARDENER that can be 

added to the fixer is dependant on the film and 

process conditions used. In some processors the 

full amount of hardener cannot be used as the fix

 

and wash times cannot be extended adequately. In 

these circumstances we recommend starting with

 

the minimum amount of hardener to have some 

effect. This is around 3–6 mls of hardener per litre 

of working strength HYPAM used. This increases

 

the film hardness slightly but has a negligible effect 

on the fix and wash efficiency. When fix and wash 

times are restricted the maximum amount of

 

HYPAM HARDENER recommended is 10–20ml of 

hardener per litre of working strength HYPAM 

used. This higher amount gives a definite increase 

to the hardness of the films processed and while

 

fixing and washing efficiency are reduced the films 

will be adequately fixed and washed for most 

purposes.

 

 

 

 

To avoid drying marks, use a clean squeegee or 

chamois cloth to wipe PAN F Plus film before 

hanging it to dry. Dry PAN F Plus at 30–40°C/86-

 

104

o

F in a drying cabinet or at room temperature

 

in a clean dust-free area.

 

 

Store PAN F Plus in a cool (10–20°C/50-68

o

F),

 

dry place in its original packaging.

 

 

Once exposed, process PAN F Plus as soon as 

practical. Images on exposed but unprocessed film 

will not degrade for up to several months when 

stored as recommended.

 

 

Store processed negatives in a cool (10–20°C/50-

 

68

o

F), dry place, in the dark. Suitable storage

 

sleeves include those made of cellulose triacetate, 

Mylar, paper (pH6.5–7.5) or inert polyester.
