Raw chemicals in Europe

[LorenzoM]

Sorry if the question has been already asked: I checked old posts, bu I didn't find anything really useful.

I have increasing difficulties in finding raw chemicals in Italy, so I'm thinking about buying them abroad.
Does someone have a list of suppliers based in Europe and able to ship chemicals in EU countries?

Thank you in advance,
Lorenzo

VWR seem to have a monopoly on raw chemicals in Europe.

Ornano has a list of raw chemicals for amateurs.

You find it here on page 19:

There are at least two sources in Germany.

I did find what seems to be an interesting supplier in Poland. Although I have not bought anything from him yet, I had a brief E-mail exchange with him, and he seems both knowledgeable and service minded.

it's really becoming a hassle trying to buy raw chemistry in europe. i live in austria and buy all my chemistry through german mailorder.
there are a few chemistry suppliers, like omikron for example. but i've never really ordered from them. i guess they mostly deal with commercial clients, but some of them will sell (some stuff) to ordinary people too.
i buy most of my supplies from either foto suvatlar (small business, photo chemistry only. nice and helpful) or kremer pigmente - an arts supplier, who doesn't have much photo chemistry, but most of the other stuff (sulfite, carbonate, etc.) and is pretty cheap most times.

here's a link to the suvatlar price list. it's probably hard to find, since they don't have a real hp.

Silverprint in the UK stock just about everything in the raw chemical line - http://www.silverprint.co.uk/ProductByGroup.asp?PrGrp=49

From what I understand, shipping dry powders within Europe is OK - but Silverprint do have a minimum value on European orders

Sels d'argent in France advertises on raw chemicals : www.selsdargent.com, but you need to contact him to tell him what you need, and he'll give you a quotation.

I bought film and paper from him, and he has good prices in Ilford. Did not ask for raw chemicals though, so I've no idea what he can get and what the pricing is like.

Lorenzo,

In Paris, a big photo pro shop : Prophot has a range of raw chemicals here :

You can ask them if they can ship to you.

Thanks to everyone for your kind answers.
AgX, Ornano is my usual supplier, I buy their chemicals from Fotomatica. The list on their site is quite old, now some chemicals are not available anymore.
Btw, this thread is totally useful, there are a lot of good suggestions here.
I've contacted Keten, it seems they can supply the chemicals I was looking for at a decent price, so I placed an order. I'll let you know as soon as i receive the shipment.

Gerda,

this thread is about (pure) chemical substances, not about ready mixed solutions .
Maco only sells the latter.
