Introducing ADOX D-76 CLASSIC: The Return of a Trusted Formula
Last year, we introduced an eco-friendly version of our iconic D-76 developer—ADOX D-76 ECO. With a lower dissolving temperature, a borate-free buffer, and captura dust-binding technology, it offered impressive environmental benefits. However, we understand that many of our long-standing customers—especially those who have trusted traditional formulas for decades—may prefer the trusted characteristics of the original D-76.
That’s why we’re excited to reintroduce a familiar formula under a new name: ADOX D-76 CLASSIC.
For those who appreciated the D-76 developer produced in Germany until 2022, D-76 CLASSIC offers the exact same performance, consistency, and developing times you’ve relied on for years. You’ll get identical results to what you expect from ID-11, the original D-76, or our current D-76 ECO—but with one key advantage: extended storage life.
While ADOX D-76 ECO remains an excellent choice for environmentally conscious photographers, we know that longevity matters, especially for professionals and darkroom enthusiasts who value consistency over long periods of time. The CLASSIC version retains the robustness of the traditional recipe, giving you the peace of mind that your developer will last—without sacrificing the quality you’ve come to expect.
With the sale of the Kodak chemicals division to Chinese investors in 2020, ADOX has started a program to "secure the availability" of the legendary Kodak photo chemicals. ADOX analyzes the recipes and brings them up to a modern standard. ADOX produces in Germany in its own factory and carries out both research and quality control at the site.
