Overview
Collapsible Bottles for Photochemistry eTone 3 pcs 1000 ml Accordion Shape for Air Extraction Opaque HDPE Black for Film Development

The set of three collapsible eTone bottles is designed for storing photographic chemicals in a home darkroom as well as in a professional laboratory. Each bottle has a capacity of 1000 ml and accordion walls that can be compressed after filling to ensure no air remains above the liquid. This way, the solution is exposed to air only minimally and oxidises more slowly. The bottles are made from opaque HDPE plastic, which protects the contents from light and is resistant to acids and corrosion. They are suitable for developer, stop bath, fixer, and other mixed solutions.

The accordion shape allows you to adjust the height of the bottle according to the amount of liquid. When fully extended, the bottle measures 16 cm, and when completely compressed, it is only 8 cm tall, with a width of 10 cm, making it fit into a standard shelf or cabinet in the darkroom. Beneath the screw cap is a soft yet sturdy sealing insert made from PE, which prevents liquid leakage and air ingress. Coloured caps and a label on the bottle's shoulder help distinguish between different chemicals, so you won't confuse the developer with the fixer. The bottles can also be used for powder and granulated substances or for light-sensitive solutions.

Before filling, extend the bottle to its full height and pour the solution in through the wide neck, ideally using a funnel. Then, carefully compress the bottle until the liquid level is close to the neck, and screw the cap on tightly. After each withdrawal of the solution, compress the bottle again to prevent air from accumulating above the liquid. Empty bottles can simply be rinsed with clean water and left to dry. Store them closed in a cool, dark place out of reach of children. You can note on the cap or label what chemicals the bottle contains and when they were mixed.

Photographers who develop black-and-white and colour films at home will appreciate the eTone collapsible bottles, as they help keep mixed chemicals usable for as long as possible. Three 1-litre bottles cover the basic set of solutions for development. The opaque walls made from acid and alkali-resistant plastic protect the contents from light and chemical damage. By being able to extract air, you slow down the oxidation of the developer and save on unnecessarily spoiled solutions. This practical set is suitable for both beginner and experienced photographers working with analogue film.
