Contains an anti-static agent, and has enhanced anti-bacterial activity. Treatment using this agent will reduce static attraction of dust to the film and protect against fungal and bacterial action.
With Rollei film, ROLLEI R ³ WETTING AGENT is recommended. This has a dilution of 1+1000, and is supplied with a measuring syringe. Use a one minute immersion without film movement (to avoid foaming,see below). The wetting agent should not be overdosed. It can be used several times only if several films are processed one directly after another. Foam does not clear the film surface easily. Water should be added to the wetting agent only slowly to avoid foam generation. It is helpful to prepare the wetting bath together with the developer, as any foam generated during mixing will then have time to disintegrate while the film is being processed.
Fotospeed RA50 is a highly concentrated liquid designed to greatly reduce surface tension to allow the easy dispersion of water from the surface of photographic materials without damaging the emulsion. Used in the final rinse, it noticeably promotes streak free drying of film and shortens drying times.
