Click on the underlined "search" in Raghu Kuvempunagar's post - it will take you to a list of links.
By the way, it is spelled Tetenal, not Titanal

I'm sorry ,
I am currently suffering from an angina pectoris crisis and it has affected me a kind of dementia.
I don't know if I will be like this forever, it's temporary dementia.?

Dear Colleagues, I am pleased to inform you about the results of the developer of Dr. Zone V
The one that does not contain potassium iodide and is really according to my expectations is the most successful formula that we can prepare powder chemistry based on.
I prepared this formula in three plastic bags.
The first bag contained the following ingredients
Calgon 1 gram.
Potassium Carbonate............. 16 g
Sodium Sulfite .....................1.75 g
Sodium Bromide .................0 .66 g
KOH.......050 g
The second sachet contains
1.77g Hydroxylamine Hydrochloride
The third bag contains
CD3............ 4.45 g

These bags were then stored for a week in the desk drawer.
and then
I brought 100 ml of boiled and filtered water and threw the contents of the third bag (CD3) into it and stirred it.
I brought 350 ml of boiled and filtered water. I threw the contents of the first bag into it and kept stirring until everything melted.
- Then I added the contents of the second bag. (Hydroxylamine hydrochloride) and kept stirring until everything dissolved.
Then I threw the contents of the first baker that contains (CD3) on the second baker that contains the rest of the ingredients. And I added water until it reached half a liter.
- The developer was tested after preparation on the expired negative, but I made sure that the developer is working..
- I put this developer in an airtight glass bottle and put it in the fridge for two and a half weeks, and then I developed this roll, which is Portra 400..

It's all about the developer only.
I will write to you later the Blix recipe that I used.

Ah okay, I understand. Yes, it's somewhat difficult to buy with only limited possibilities. I've been able to get some, but it was fairly expensive. Still much cheaper than getting it from e.g. Suvatlar, but not exactly cheap either.

Oh dear ,,
That German merchant is exaggerating a lot in prices,,
In fact, I have never bought from him and will never buy from him even if I have the money.
- There is a Russian friend who told me that he bought from the Italian company (Axil), I don't know if I wrote the name correctly or not.
In general, it is an ancient chemical company with an ancient photographic history.
But my Russian friend bought their products on Ebay, while the company is in Italy, but according to what I understand, they do not welcome retail sales.
There is also an excellent Chinese company that a colleague told me about, and it is a government chemical company with an ISO certificate,, but I do not remember its name,, that company has a very good quality level and excellent prices,, and I contacted them a while ago and they were friendly very ,,
But for some reason the correspondence between us stopped and their e-mail was lost.
I will look for them again later

My brother ,
In fact, I searched for their e-mail and did not find it, perhaps it was among the data I lost in the old computer, I don't remember.
Please, could you give me their email so that I can get back in touch with them.
And if you remember the purchase cost you paid for that item, I hope you'll tell me.
thank you In advance
God bless you.

You might refer to Axelcolor, But this firm is rather obscure, than being ancient or having ancient photographic history.

Everything in Italy is almost always (obscure,).
I don't know much about her
But I was on a visit to Morocco in 2014 - and found the labs there relying on chemistry produced by that company for their Minilabs.
My Russian friend: Mr. Sergey, he bought this item on ebay - and he says it's a good item.

I think that's a comparable price to what Suvatlar charges for it. If memory serves, I paid about half the price. But I didn't get only 50g...

I don't think I still have it. I got mine from Alibaba, not eBay, and the company was called "Look Chemistry". I talked to a salesperson called "Cassie" there.

I did not mean the site on Alibaba.
- There is here in the forum one of the important threads in which I was a participant, and that was the days when there was the late leader (PE) and the discussion revolved around that point,, and in the meantime, a colleague came with a link to the website of a Chinese company and said that he was thinking In dealing with it, but he feels some anxiety.
I contacted that company and they were very friendly, and I even found in the product lists of that company other rare items such as (CD1) for an old, as well as (A32) of Agfa. Then the Corona pandemic came and communications were cut off.
I tried to search for this email of theirs or the link of their company, but I failed, because everything was done via a backup email and I forgot its password.
- But what I remember, is that the sales girl told me that the quality of the item is 95%. And they do not sell less than half a kilo, and when I made the calculations, I found that the price of half a kilo at that time was very impressive, and the negotiation at that time was limited to the shipping basket.

Well, I don't know the email address of the people you've been communicating with. I can only tell (and in fact did) where I got mine from. I actually did purchase, receive and use the material. Both cd3 and cd4.
