Mixing my own D96 and ECN-2 future proof approach to deal with the death of Kodak Chems

Kodak Chemicals are finished. But the amazing thing is they released their D96 and ecn-2 formulas.
Time to mix our own chems.

I shoot a lot of XX that I develop in Xtol 1:1
I also shoot the occasional HP5, delta and Tmax.
Since the future of Kodak Chemicals seams to be pretty bad I will start mixing my own D96.
I always wanted to try XX in the recommended d96 chems.
Chemicals are widely available for mixing. And I was able to buy them from the usual suspects/
I still got 10 packs of xtol for my other films that I hope don’t spoil in powder form.
I am doing the same for C41. Flexicolor is done I don’t plan on paying insane c41 prices from other manufactures.
Since I am only shooting VIsion3 for color I just got the basic chems to mix my own ECN-2

Added bonus is I will mix as much as I need.

And other miscellaneous chemicals - in not so convenient package quantities: https://www.kodak.com/en/motion/page/tested-laboratory-chemicals
I'm not sure they've sold D96 under a Kodak brand name for a while.

The point being though, that the statement "Kodak Chemicals are finished" doesn't apply to ECN.

SinoPromise kodak chemicals are finished.

From the original post:
”I am doing the same for C41. Flexicolor is done I don’t plan on paying insane c41 prices from other manufactures.”
I mix ECN2 because Kodak does not sale small amounts..

Do you know where I can buy small sizes kodak ecn-2 ?

I just bought 40L of Flexicolor developer from Freestyle. If I know they will last "forever", I will buy another 40L or two.

Each 40L is good for about 720 sheets of 4x5. I need them
