Source of paraphenylene diamine for Harveys 777 developer

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.

Ed, have you accually talked with Bluegrass and confirmed that it is the original formula? Curious minds want to know.

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.

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.

If you know any lichenologists, they'll have some PD laying around. Its used in lichen identification

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.
