Label Information:
Use Heico Hardener for NH-5 fixer to check swelling and consequent softening of the emulsion layer. Hardener raises the melting point of the emulsion and allows higher temperatures to be used in drying. As in fixation, adequate hardening takes place in twice the clearing time. Under proper storage conditions of temperature and light, Heico Hardener has an indefinite shelf life.
