Ilford Ilfotol is a versatile, high-quality non-ionic wetting agent designed for professional photographers who prioritize spot-free film and consistent print drying. It is ideal for both darkroom hobbyists and commercial laboratories, though users must be careful to use the correct dilution ratios to avoid residual surface marks. Beyond its primary role in chemical processing, this solution offers utility as a specialized cleaner for optical glass and a reliable anti-static agent.

Ilford Ilfotol is specifically designed for black and white processing workflows.
Yes, it is effective for glass and plastic lenses, but always dilute it properly and apply it to a cloth, not directly to the lens.
No, Ilfotol is the final rinse step. The film should be hung to dry immediately after the soak.
Because it is used in small quantities for dilution, a 1-litre bottle lasts for a significant number of rolls and prints.
No, it is intended to be used after the final water wash is complete.
While it works on glass, it is specifically formulated for photographic equipment; use standard screen cleaners for modern electronics.
Your dilution ratio may be too low, or your local water is too hard; try using distilled water for the final rinse.
You are likely using too much wetting agent; rinse the film in clean water or reduce the concentration in your next batch.
To prepare the solution, follow the specific dilution ratios provided on the bottle for your film type. Always use distilled water for the final rinse if your local tap water is 'hard' to maximize the effectiveness of the wetting agent. For optical cleaning, ensure the agent is heavily diluted; apply to a microfiber cloth rather than directly onto the lens surface. Store the concentrate in a cool, dark environment to ensure the chemical properties remain stable over time. Ensure the bottle cap is tightly sealed after every use to prevent evaporation or contamination.
