PEC-12 Photographic Emulsion Cleaner

This solution works very well with cleaning old slides from the 1960's. Better than anything else I have tried.

It does exactly what it says it does. Without the PEC-12, the PEC-PADs are great at picking up looser dirt and dust (especially useful on non-emulsion surfaces where you can't use PEC-12). On the emulsion, it also just cuts through grime without scratching, staining, or messing with the emulsion. When I'm dealing with photos I can replace, I don't want to be fiddling around with DIY solutions, so this is perfect for that. The bottle also makes dispensing the proper amount really easy. I will be buying it again.

Good kit, been using to clean old slides before scanning them. The kit seemed a little expensive but was worth it. So far I have cleaned over 600 slides.

PEC-PAD have a reputation that needs no further reviews. The Photographic Emulsion Cleaner is superb. It easily cleans off 40+ year old adhesive residue on my old 8mm films. Quickly dries with no streaking and residue when wiped down with a PEC-PAD. This fluid works as well or better than some 40+ year old Kodak film cleaner that I had. Probably without the toxic or environmentally unfriendly VOCs. Unfortunately I did not tighten the cap completely the last time I used the Kodak cleaner and it evaporated away. The only complaint I have is the cleaner evaporates so quickly from the pads you have little working time if needed. I apply to fluid to a cotton swab and wipe it down with a pad. If I need to cover large areas I'll moisten a pad.

This works very well - exactly as intended.

This really works perfectly. Does not scratch and dries quickly.

Great stuff. Using it to clean over 3000 slides. Easily removes fingerprints with appropriate swabs. Note: Has a strong smell and is highly flammable.

Brilliant. Both the liquid cleaner and the lint free sheets.

Muito bom produto

This very hard to find solution is a perfect solution (pun intended) to clean marks off your film. It usually cleans most marks in one go and really speeds up your workflow of digitising old film. You need a just a few drops on a PEC pad, so the bottle, though small, will last a while. There is a noticeable smell - so make sure you are working in a well ventilated room. Easy to use and leaves no marks.

Order received and happy with all aspects of service and product. Thank You!

PEC-12 erfüllt seinen Zweck voll und ganz. Es lässt sich sehr gut verarbeiten, ist ergiebig und sorgt bei sachgemäßer Anwendung für ein hervorragendes Reinigungsergebnis. Ich verwende es hauptsächlich zur Reinigung von Negativfilmstreifen – das Resultat überzeugt auf ganzer Linie. Trotz der Lösungsmittelbasis ist das Arbeiten damit bei guter Belüftung problemlos auch über einen längeren Zeitraum möglich. Ideal für alle, die analoge Filmstreifen gründlich und materialschonend reinigen möchten. Ein zuverlässiges Spezialprodukt, das in keinem Archivierungs- oder Digitalisierungs-Workflow fehlen sollte.

L’ho preso per pulire i negativi che presentavo delle macchie di non so quale materiale forse muffa o colla. Magicamente sono venute via con pochi passaggi. L’importante è non insistere troppo nella pulizia senza forzare la mano altrimenti si finisce per graffiare il negativo. Paragonato all’alcool isopropilico puro al 99.9% che ho in casa questo vince a mani basse. Certo visto il costo consiglio per una pulizia generale di passare con l’alcool isopropilico e per lo sporco più ostinato il pec-12. Ovviamente con le salviette pec-pad.
