Packaged in a resealable jar to maintain potency, it’s perfect for artists and crafters seeking a versatile, eco-friendly alternative photography sensitizer. ## Description Product SpecificationsBrand: JacquardProduct: Ferric Ammonium CitrateChemical Type: Light-Sensitive Iron SaltForm: Crystalline PowderNet Weight: 8 oz (227g)Container Material: Opaque Plastic Jar with Screw-Top LidIntended Use and ApplicationThis product is a chemical component used for the traditional cyanotype photographic process, also known as sun printing or blueprinting. It functions as Part A of a two-part sensitizer solution. When combined with Part B, Potassium Ferricyanide (not included), it creates a UV-sensitive emulsion. This emulsion can be applied to absorbent, natural surfaces such as watercolour paper, cotton, linen, silk, or wood. It is intended for use by artists, photographers, and crafters for creating permanent, detailed images in a Prussian blue hue.Preparation and Usage InstructionsFor cyanotype sensitizer, prepare two separate stock solutions using distilled water. Dissolve 25 grams of Ferric Ammonium Citrate in 100ml of water for Solution A. In a separate container, prepare Solution B with Potassium Ferricyanide. In subdued light, mix equal parts of Solution A and Solution B. Coat your chosen material evenly with the mixture and allow it to dry completely in a dark area. Place objects or a photographic negative on the sensitised surface and expose to a UV light source, such as direct sunlight. After exposure, rinse the material in a tray of cool water for several minutes until the unexposed emulsion is gone. Allow the print to air dry.Package Contents1 x Jacquard Ferric Ammonium Citrate 8oz (227g) Jar. Review: Cyanotastic! - Arrived well packaged. Just what I needed for my cyanotype art!

The pre-mixed solution says 24. I need more than that.** A: according to the notes I made at the time, I used 12 grams potassium ferricyanide and 20 grams ferric ammonium citrate. Both separately dissolved in 15 ml water, then combined. I put it in a spray bottle and sprayed 13 by 13 inch cotton handkerchiefs to saturation. I was able to do 12 handkerchiefs just fine with that small amount of chemicals. I don't know what you are putting it on, but I think you could do a lot. I highly recommend doing a test of a small amount to see if it's what you want. My handkerchief stencils got quite dark.
