Tetenal Superfix - for decades this name has been synonymous with the safe and fast fixing of films and papers. Technically updated several times and adapted to the available materials, Superfix has almost become a synonym for S/W fixing baths. The new Superfix tabs complete Tetenal's range of liquid and powder fixing baths with a particularly user-friendly product: The tabs are suitable for T-grain films as well as for classic emulsions, RC papers as well as barite materials.

Superfix tablets are formulated without boron compounds and - like Parvofin tablets - meet the future legal requirements for end-user chemicals. The dosage of Superfix tablets to 150 ml of working solution or a multiple of this amount allows fixing in all development trays and trays of different sizes.

The very long shelf life of Superfix tablets is remarkable: over the years, the required number of tablets can be successively removed from the storage box and processed - the working solution is always fresh. Superfix tablets represent a very economical application, from the first tablet to the last, the chemistry is optimally exploited and sporadic applications over several years are easily possible.

Preparation
Ready-to-use fixing baths are prepared by dissolving SUPERFIX TABS in water. Cold water makes it difficult to dissolve the tablets - warm water makes it easier. Hot water of approx. 40-60 °C is ideal. After cooling down, the fixer is immediately ready for use. Separate solutions should be used for films and papers. A sufficiently large plastic mixing beaker and a stirring paddle are recommended for the preparation. Place the number of tablets required for a certain preparation volume in the empty mixing beaker, pour in hot water until the preparation volume is reached and wait a few minutes until the first dissolutions are visible. Stir with a stirring paddle until the solution is well mixed.
