PEC 12 Photographic Emulsion Cleaner (59ml) Bottle

Muito bom produto

Very good cleaner worked well on my 30 year old negatives, cleaning them in a single pass. The fumes are quite strong so well worth disposing of the wipes immediately and I wore a face mask

PEC-12 erfüllt seinen Zweck voll und ganz. Es lässt sich sehr gut verarbeiten, ist ergiebig und sorgt bei sachgemäßer Anwendung für ein hervorragendes Reinigungsergebnis. Ich verwende es hauptsächlich zur Reinigung von Negativfilmstreifen – das Resultat überzeugt auf ganzer Linie. Trotz der Lösungsmittelbasis ist das Arbeiten damit bei guter Belüftung problemlos auch über einen längeren Zeitraum möglich. Ideal für alle, die analoge Filmstreifen gründlich und materialschonend reinigen möchten. Ein zuverlässiges Spezialprodukt, das in keinem Archivierungs- oder Digitalisierungs-Workflow fehlen sollte.

L’ho preso per pulire i negativi che presentavo delle macchie di non so quale materiale forse muffa o colla. Magicamente sono venute via con pochi passaggi. L’importante è non insistere troppo nella pulizia senza forzare la mano altrimenti si finisce per graffiare il negativo. Paragonato all’alcool isopropilico puro al 99.9% che ho in casa questo vince a mani basse. Certo visto il costo consiglio per una pulizia generale di passare con l’alcool isopropilico e per lo sporco più ostinato il pec-12. Ovviamente con le salviette pec-pad.

Did it streak? Yes. Did it remove dirt? Yes. Were the slides better after cleaning than before? Debatable. Save this stuff for the really dirty slides, don't use it if you don't have to. I used cotton swabs and as little of this stuff as I could to clean some unimportant slides. I found that it would remove dust that was not knocked off by a dry brush, or blown off by compressed air, but it also streaked leaving minor but visible smears on the slides. I also found that the cardboard slide carriers would snag fibers from the cotton swabs that intruded into the pictures nearly as badly as the dust I was trying to remove. Certainly not worth a blind "clean every slide" approach, perhaps worthy of "there's a blatant thumb print on slide 6, and I really like slide 6" cleanup. edit: After going through 1160 slides, and having nothing else to clean them with, I have a bit more experience with this stuff. The first slides I cleaned were from the early 50's and some of them had what appeared to be chemical residue from the developing process crystallized on the film. These are the ones that streaked badly, I think because the cleaning fluid dissolved the residue, but did not remove the residue. This required wiping down with the cleaning solution, and wiping it off with a dry q-tip several times to remove the residue. It worked but not quickly. Later slides seemed to have cigarette smoke residue on them, thin could be removed with a single application. Most of my slides were cleaned sufficiently by brushing them off with a camera sensor cleaning brush. It took at least 1 minute per slide to use this cleaning solution on the dirtier slides, and then they would still need to be brushed off to remove the residual cotton fibers from the Q-tips. I have increased the rating, but it is still tedious and difficult to use this stuff effectively. The answer to my question in the title is "Yes".
