I haven't used this for anti-fogging before. I have some (actually quite a bit) of New Seagull VC I bought at Freestyle in . It has been stored for 22 years at 37F. Printed on some of it yesterday. It looks great, until you compare an unexposed edge to new paper. Then it looks a little grey. The difference is subtle enough it is far from obvious if you don't do the side by side comparison. It is slight, but does affect highlights a little.
1. Will using Benzetriazole help with this?
2. Picker's version (going from memory here) was 2%. How many grams would it take to mix up 16 oz of 2% solution? Around 10g?
3. Is there any disadvantage to mixing up 2% vs 1%?
4. Dissolve it in hot distilled water?
Thanks.
I'd do a simple test first. Compare an unexposed & fully developed and fully fixed piece of paper to an unexposed & undeveloped and fully fixed piece of paper. Still see a difference?
Start doing tests with the least amount of ANTI-FOG you can. If 1% solves the problem, stop there. If not, double the ANTI-FOG. Rinse and repeat as needed.
A 1% solution is 1 gram in 100 milliliters or 0.1 gr in 10 ml. A 10% solution is 10 grams in 100 milliliters or 1 gr in 10 ml.
Use whatever temperature water you need.
How much to add to your developer? Use whatever Picker suggests -- but if it works on the first try, cut the amount in half and try again. Rinse and repeat as needed. You want to use as little as possible.
2% would be 20 grams per liter, or 10 g per 500ml. Benz dissolves in room temp water, but somewhat warmer water might help. Yes, if you're going to keep it around, use distilled water. But you can simply add it directly to your paper developer instead : Try 0.2 g (2/10th) benz powder per liter of developer, provided your developer itself is going to be diluted down to 1:2 or 1:3 for use. And expect some color shift toward cooler with your paper, along with slightly slower dev time (benz is a restrainer). Your highlights and margins should come out a little cleaner.
Fred said one ounce working strength (1%) to one quart of working developer.
You can use up to 8 ounces to 1 quart of developer. You will want to lengthen the time in the developer. and you may notice a change in contrast.
Best to start with a 1 to 1 and test.
If mixing from power hot water around 110 degrees F. and stir.
I dissolve it in alcohol to 10% w/v - it's not very soluble in water. 1/2 tsp in 32 oz (.25g/l) seems to work (going by memory here, take with lots of salt).
If the fogging is slight then you can try a dash - say 1/2 oz - of P. Bromide (10% in water). P. Bromide is a good addition to developer if you are having trouble getting clear highlights in the natural course of things. Another 10% solution that is nice to have on hand is S. Carbonate - a few ounces can deepen blacks.
The 'Substance identity' section is calculated from substance identification information from all ECHA databases. The substance identifiers displayed in the InfoCard are the best available substance name, EC number, CAS number and/or the molecular and structural formulas.
TJCY industrial chemical contains other products and information you need, so please check it out.
Some substance identifiers may have been claimed confidential, or may not have been provided, and therefore not be displayed.
The EC Number is the numerical identifier for substances in the EC Inventory. The EC Inventory is a combination of three independent European lists of substances from the previous EU chemicals regulatory frameworks (EINECS, ELINCS and the NLP-list). More information about the EC Inventory can be found here.
If the substance was not covered by the EC Inventory, ECHA attributes a list number in the same format, starting with the numbers 6, 7, 8 or 9.
The EC or list number is the primary substance identifier used by ECHA.
The CAS number is the substance numerical identifier assigned by the Chemical Abstracts Service, a division of the American Chemical Society, to substances registered in the CAS registry database. A substance identified primarily by an EC or list number may be linked with more than one CAS number, or with CAS numbers that have been deleted. More information about CAS and the CAS registry can be found here.
The molecular formula identifies each type of element by its chemical symbol and identifies the number of atoms of each element found in one discrete molecule of the substance. This information is only displayed if the substance is well'defined, its identity is not claimed confidential and there is sufficient information available in ECHA's databases for ECHA's algorithms to generate a molecular structure.
The molecular structure is based on structures generated from information available in ECHA's databases. If generated, an InChI string will also be generated and made available for searching. This information is only displayed if the substance is well-defined, its identity is not claimed confidential and there is sufficient information available in ECHA's databases for ECHA's algorithms to generate a molecular structure.

The 'Hazard classification and labelling' section shows the hazards of a substance based on the standardised system of statements and pictograms established under the CLP (Classification Labelling and Packaging) Regulation. The CLP Regulation makes sure that the hazards presented by chemicals are clearly communicated to workers and consumers in the European Union. The CLP Regulation uses the UN Global Harmonised System (GHS) and European Union Specific Hazard Statements (EUH).
This section is based on three sources for information (harmonised classification and labelling (CLH), REACH registrations and CLP notifications). The source of the information is mentioned in the introductory sentence of the hazard statements. When information is available in all sources, the first two are displayed as a priority.
The purpose of the information provided under this section is to highlight the substance hazardousness in a readable format. It does not represent a new labelling, classification or hazard statement, neither reflect other factors that affect the susceptibility of the effects described, such as duration of exposure or substance concentration (e.g. in case of consumer and professional uses). Other relevant information includes the following:
To see the full list of notified classifications and to get more information on impurities and additives relevant to classification please consult the C&L Inventory.
More information about Classification and Labelling is available in the Regulations section of ECHA website.

Harmonised classification and labelling is a legally binding classification and labelling for a substance, agreed at European Community level. Harmonisation is based on the substance's physical, toxicological and eco-toxicological hazard assessment.
The 'Hazard classification' and labelling section uses the signal word, pictogram(s) and hazard statements of the substance under the harmonised classification and labelling (CLH) as its primary source of information.
If the substance is covered by more than one CLH entry (e.g. disodium tetraborate EC no. 215'540'4, is covered by three harmonisations: 005'011'00'4; 005'011'01'1 and 005'011'02'9), CLH information cannot be displayed in the InfoCard as the difference between the CLH classifications requires manual interpretation or verification. If a substance is classified under multiple CLH entries, a link to the C&L Inventory is provided to allow users to view CLH information associated with the substance and no text is automatically generated for the InfoCard.
It is possible that a harmonisation is introduced through an amendment to the CLP Regulation. In that case, the ATP (Adaptation to Technical Progress) number is displayed.

If available, additional information on classification and labelling (C&L) is derived from REACH registration dossiers submitted by industry. This information has not been reviewed or verified by ECHA, and may change without prior notice. REACH registration dossiers have greater data requirements (such as supporting studies) than do notifications under CLP.
If no EU harmonised classification and labelling exists and the substance was not registered under REACH, information derived from classification and labelling (C&L) notifications to ECHA under CLP Regulation is displayed under this section. These notifications can be provided by manufacturers, importers and downstream users. ECHA maintains the C&L Inventory, but does not review or verify the accuracy of the information.
Note that for readability purposes, only the pictograms, signal words and hazard statements referred in more than 5% of the notifications under CLP are displayed.
This section provides an overview of the calculated volume at which the substance is manufactured or imported to the European Economic Area (EU28 + Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway). Additionally, if available, information on the use of the substance and how consumers and workers are likely to be exposed to it can also be displayed here.
The use information is displayed per substance life cycle stage (consumer use, in articles, by professional workers (widespread uses), in formulation or re-packing, at industrial sites or in manufacturing). The information is aggregated from the data coming from REACH substance registrations provided by industry.
For a detailed overview on identified uses and environmental releases, please consult the registered substance factsheet.
Use descriptors are adapted from ECHA guidance to improve readability and may not correspond textually to descriptor codes described in Chapter R.12: Use Descriptor system of ECHA Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment.
The examples provided are generic examples and may not apply to the specific substance you are viewing. A substance may have its use restricted to certain articles or products and therefore not all the examples may apply to the specific substance. Furthermore, some substances can be found in an article, but with unlikely exposure (e.g. inside a watch) or with very low concentrations considered not to pose risks to human health or the environment.
Please note:
For readability purpose, only non-confidential use descriptors occurring in more than 5% of total occurrences are displayed.
The described Product category (i.e. the products in which the substance may be used) may refer to uses as intermediate and under controlled conditions, for which there is no consumer exposure.

The 'Properties of concern' section shows ECHA-assigned graphical indicators for certain substance properties that are regarded as being of relevance or importance to human health and/or the environment based on the information provided to the Agency.
Properties of concern are calculated at four "levels" of certainty:
The following properties of concern are calculated:
The substance properties displayed in this section are derived from Harmonised classification and labelling (CLH) data, entries in the Candidate list of substances of very high concern for authorisation, the PBT assessment list, the ED assessment list, REACH registered dossier data and from notifications made under CLP. A prioritisation hierarchy means that data is taken from harmonised C&L data and regulatory lists first, then REACH registrations and finally from CLP notifications. By clicking on the "More details" button you can see the exact origin(s) of each Property of Concern.
Impurities or additives: When a specific critical property is calculated from industry data and where the majority of data submitters have indicated that the property relates to cases containing impurities and/or additives, then the respective critical property icon is modified with an asterisk (*).
