WHAT IS PEC-12?
PEC-12 is a waterless Photographic Emulsion Cleaner which is suitable for use on most film and print emulsions. It is a blend of organic hydrocarbon solvents with a neutral pH and is free from chlorofluorocarbons and chlorinated hydrocarbons. It dries instantly, leaves no residue, and meets archival needs. Because it contains no water, PEC-12 will not cause emulsion swelling, tackiness, water marks or other damage associated with re-washing.
NO HIDDEN OR LONG-TERM DAMAGE
PEC-12 has been tested by an independent organization concerned with photographic preservation. It found that PEC-12 will not cause any hidden or long-term damage to photographic images. It has no adverse effects on long term B&W or color image permanence or on dye stability.
