I have never seen anything that can clean photographic emulsion as good as PEC. It help salvage $350 worth of photographs. Review: Superb cleaning fluid - 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. ## Features - CHOICE OF PROFESSIONALS - PEC-12 photographic emulsion cleaner is trusted by the world's most prestigious photographers, labs, museums, and publishers.

I can clean a 500' reel of film with one PEC Pad and just a few drops of PEC while spooling the film across and hand cranked movie editor. Takes maybe a minute. Cleaning individual film strips (I'm assuming 5"-6" stripes of negatives) is going to be a very time consuming operation and the PEC fluid is going to evaporate quickly. That said, depending on how dirty the film is and how well you manage the pads, I suspect you'll run out of pads long before you run out of PEC. MOST IMPORTANT NOTE: As noted above, PEC is a very potent solvent. You must use it sparingly and in a well ventilated location. Just a few whiffs of the stuff will make you lightheaded. **Q: Can you clean old postcards with this?** A: I highly doubt it. I would assume it would dissolve the ink. It is meant for cleaning film and slides which are dye based. **Q: Does this work to clean older (as in 20-40 years) slides and negatives?** A: Works well for me. I use it to clean negatives, E-6 slides and Kodachrome slides prior to scanning. Most of this film was shot in the mid 80's to mid90's. I should add that my negatives and slides have always been well protected and the cleaning needed is minimal. **Q: Safe on camera sensors?** A: It seems so, sorry that doesn't answer your question. They are too stiff for use with PEC-12 to clean slides--seems like they dig unevenly into emulsion coating. I've had better luck on slides with softer cloths used to clean glasses with fragile coatings (available at opticians). ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Miracle photographic emulsion cleaner. *by T***Y on 31 December 2025* Working with printed photographs for 50 years.
