Digibase C41 Shelf Life

[Sjixxxy]

I was just cleaning up part of my basement and came across a forgotten, unopened boxed shipped to me from Freestyle back in 2012. Inside was a Digibase C41 color chemistry kit.

Any idea what the shelf life of this chemistry would be? The only mention of shelf life in the datasheet that I'm noticing is "Extremely long shelf-life of the liquid concentrates"

I'd say it's not very likely to be ok. The bleach is probably fine, the fixer probably fine too. It's one of the developer concentrates that is probably dead. Have a look at them, if one of them looks dark, then I wouldn't bother. That is the part that contains the actual development agent, CD4.

It's part C specifically that you should have a look at.

Well. Holding the three developer parts up to a light, A & B are clear yet. C? Not so much.

At maco you can get the individual developer bottles for pretty cheap: https://www.macodirect.de/en/chemistry/color-chemistry/c-41/4344/compard-digibase-c-41-c-colour-developer-part-c-100ml?c=649
