Ammonium dichromate

Post by Dutchelm05 »

I'm getting low on Ammonium dichromate and was going to make another purchase soon.
I was wondering if anyone has seen any difference in manufactures or batch to batch differences.
This is what I use now Ammonium dichromate Crystal BAKER ANALYZED ACS Reagent - 500

Is Purified any better?

Thanks guys

You might be the sole survivor Tony! :o :eh: :D

I don't think there's any difference between sources of ammonium dichromate.

I've only used a single batch of ammonium dichromate, so I have nothing to compare it to. But I doubt if it makes any difference. I got mine from Photographer's Formulary.

Thanks guys,

All is well with me Danny.
I took a month off to recharge my batteries and clean up the lab.
Have some glass ready to be coated this weekend.
I am still trying to dial in DCG masters.
The last session I did was not so hot and was a bit frustrated so decided to take a step back.
Looking forward to starting up again.
Summer is almost here and that can cause so cooling issues in the lab so I'd better do this before it is too late.

Danny sorry I have not sent you gelatin, haven't forgoten.

All the best,
Tony
