HC-110 Crystalization

[Mike Feit]

Hello there,

I was just decanting a bottle of HC-110 CAT 501 0541 and noticed when I got to the end that crystals had formed at the bottom. Will this have an effect on its potency? Will it still work?

Thanks in advance.

I have HC-110 that has had crystals in it for 3 years. About 5% of the bottle is crystals, large ones. The more liquidy version. It works the same as the Kodak syrup I was using 15 years ago. So I don't think you have anything to worry about.

Same HC-110 CAT 501 0541 here.
Expired 2014.09. Contains 2/3 of syrup.
Sparse, very little amount of needle like crystals in prepared developer.
It works ok in Jobo 3018 (rotation) and Paterson 120 (inversion).
Most of my dillutions - E.
I'm filtering it before use.
