Selectol and Ektonol question?

[dbonamo]

Hi

I acquired someones darkroom a few months back, in the lot came several 1 gallon packs of Selectol, Selectol-Soft and Ektonol.

What is the normal shelf life of powered chemicals?

I am just wondering if I should keep or throw out.


Thanks

I'd think the shelf life of intact packs of developers
to be at least several years. For greater life span after
mixing split those gallons into 4 one liter bottles. Make up
any needed solution volume with a little more water. Dan
