Potassium Bromide longevity

[Jarin Blaschke]

Hello everybody:

I'm printing while home for the holidays. There is Potassium Bromide here, probably dating from 2019. How long should I expect this chemical to last and act normally?

Thanks,
Jarin

Indefinitely

Absolutely. Especially in dry/powder form. Although I expect a watery solution of KBr to also be pretty darn stable.

Thanks - I'll give it a whirl!

Use it without fear! I have some in a sealed brown Kodak jar almost as old as me (74), and it works just fine.
