Kodak Black and White Chemistry Made in Germany

I suspect that Neopress HC is a close relative and I would bet that you could substitute it. ?

Kodak no doubt has the contractor make the product to Kodak specs, with auditing to ensure that none of the Kodak formula is sold other than as Kodak Product with Kodak receiving their share of the proceeds.

When Kodak licensed it to Champion, they sold the factory as well, and many of the employees left Kodak and began working for Champion.

1 Gal D-76 is all from germany now as well, and the catalog number changed to 516 0296. The plastic pouch feels different, which is how we noticed there was a change in the first place.

5 gallon rapid is from germany now as well. Instead of the cubetainer bladder boxes, they're in large silly plastic jugs now. It's a mystery as to how you're supposed to dispense this stuff without either a pump or a giant funnel and helpers.

Does anybody know where to buy empty, virgin 5 gallon cubetainers?

Alternatively you could fit a tap near the bottom of a appropriate stiff container.

Got a bottle of Photoflo today, 16oz, made in Germany. It's a new style bottle, so you'd think that if they went to a new bottle anyway, why not make the leap from 473ml to 500ml?
Oh well.

My latest information says that Tetenal is making some of the Kodak chemistry.

This would seem likely. Tetenal is also making the ILFORD chemistry. My most recent purchase of XTOL was 'Made in Germany' whereas UK stock was previously 'Made in USA' - with more robust packaging.
