Defogger

PBU (Phillips - Bjelkhagen Ultimate) bleach makes a good film defogger
- 10 g Potassium persulfate
- 10 g Sodium bisulfate (or citric acid)
- 20 g Potassium bromite
- 1 g Cupric bromide
- 1 g Amidol (or Metol)
To use it as defogging solution, pH must be raised first, otherwise the sensitizing dyes will be deactivated. (This is true at least for the PFG-03C dyes.) Diluted it 1:10 parts water, then raise the pH to 5.6 by adding drops of 10% sodium hydroxide. Soak the plates for 1 minute in the solution, then rinse and allow to dry.

The graph is from Lasers and Holography by Mehta and Rampal, 1993. It was reprinted from a paper by Chang and Leonard, "Dichromated gelatin for the fabrication of holographic optical elements," Applied Optics, 1979. |
