The Tetenal PARVOFIN TABS are black-and-white developer tablets consisting of ten each of part A and part B tablets. Dissolve parts A and B in hot water, and after cooling, the developer is ready to use.

The use of PARVOFIN TABS dates back to the legendary powdered PARVOFIN TABS formula that was launched by Tetenal in the 1950s. The relaunch is based on the adaptation of the PARVOFIN TABS formula in today's film emulsions, considering current legal requirements for chemical ingredients of photo chemicals. PARVOFIN TABS contain no boron compounds.

The long four-year shelf life of the PARVOFIN TABS makes them a cost-efficient option highly suited to sporadic work over extended periods. A special advantage of these tablets is their wide-ranging storage temperature of -40 to 104°F. Another advantage is that there are no special transport or shipping requirements.

Q: 3. Whats the shelf life of the dry powder? Can i make accurately weighted small batches of the powder and make lets say 1/3s of a gallon each time instead of making the whole gallon in one go?

A: I don't recall if it has an expiration date on it or not, but I've opened packages that were a couple years old and they worked perfectly fine. However mixing small batches probably isn't a good idea. I imagine you'd get pretty inconsistent results. I'd recommend just mixing up a gallon and keeping it in an air tight container. I've kept it many months that way with no adverse effects. Even if some goes bad, that's better than ruining film with inconsistent small batches. An alternative, if you can ship liquids to your location, would be to look into rodinal developer.
