Photographic Solutions PEC 12 Emulsion Cleaner Kit and PEC PAD Lint Free Non Abrasive Wipes 4"x4" 100 Sheets per/Pkg for Cleaning Film, Photo Negative, B&W Slide Dropper Tip (59ml) 2oz

Working with printed photographs for 50 years. I have never seen anything that can clean photographic emulsion as good as PEC. It help salvage $350 worth of photographs.

PEC-PAD have a reputation that needs no further reviews. The Photographic Emulsion Cleaner is superb. It easily cleans off 40+ year old adhesive residue on my old 8mm films. Quickly dries with no streaking and residue when wiped down with a PEC-PAD. This fluid works as well or better than some 40+ year old Kodak film cleaner that I had. Probably without the toxic or environmentally unfriendly VOCs. Unfortunately I did not tighten the cap completely the last time I used the Kodak cleaner and it evaporated away. The only complaint I have is the cleaner evaporates so quickly from the pads you have little working time if needed. I apply to fluid to a cotton swab and wipe it down with a pad. If I need to cover large areas I'll moisten a pad.

Good kit, been using to clean old slides before scanning them. The kit seemed a little expensive but was worth it. So far I have cleaned over 600 slides.

Did a good job of cleaning 8mm film with the pec 12 cleaning fluid

It does exactly what it says it does. Without the PEC-12, the PEC-PADs are great at picking up looser dirt and dust (especially useful on non-emulsion surfaces where you can't use PEC-12). On the emulsion, it also just cuts through grime without scratching, staining, or messing with the emulsion. When I'm dealing with photos I can replace, I don't want to be fiddling around with DIY solutions, so this is perfect for that. The bottle also makes dispensing the proper amount really easy. I will be buying it again.
