neil_miller1 Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 I guess the opening line says it all - I'm looking for a source of paraphenylene diamine to make Harveys 777 developer. I'm a UK photographer, but a US source would be fine. Alternatively, a ready mixed source of 777 would do. Many thanks,Neil Miller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnanian Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 hi there i recenlty called bluegrass and asked them about harvey's 777 developer. they said it is the original formula and cost $52 for a case that contains 4 - 1 gallon packages. when i asked what the formula was, they declined and said it was a "secret receipe". i DID find out one thing, there is no glycin in their proprietary mixture. - john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garry1 Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 WELL! if it is the original formula and there is NO glycin in it, then that throws a monkeywrench into the whole issue of the formula investigation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne__ Posted June 29, 2002 Share Posted June 29, 2002 If you know any lichenologists, they'll have some PD laying around. Its used in lichen identification Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil_miller1 Posted July 2, 2002 Author Share Posted July 2, 2002 Thanks for your help. I tried the Photographers Formulary, but they couldn't ship to the UK because this chemical has a hazard rating. I then faxed an order to Rayco yesterday lunchtime and the order was with me this morning - outstanding service! Thanks again, Neil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
