It lasts a long time -in my hands about 3 years per can. But if you want to cut the cost any inert gas in a can will do. Winemakers / drinkers use one which you can buy online or from wine making shops . I have used them and they are fine - do the same job and are cheaper. Neil.

That number of films sounds very similar to my expectations Michael. I store chemicals in a glass bottle commensurate with the amount of liquid so there is not too much of a gap at the top. Thanks as always!

I only use it with my film / paper developers and some other alt processes items and it's surprising how long a can of gas can last. Definitely worth doing for peace of mind with your film developer. Neil.

Apologies for prolonging the Protectan side-issue on this thread; but here are two quotations from the instructions on a two year old can:
"Within about 5s 250 ml of air are expelled" i.e. replaced by gas "Content is sufficient to expel 100 litres of air" Not exactly definitive; but a bit of a guide to use. I find that, as long as my developer bottle is kept upright in between uses (so the gas stays covering the concentrate), I don't need to be too fussy about exactly how long to propel gas into the bottle. |

Yes, Dave, that was basically the point of my last comment - you don't need to expel all the air. It's not clear to me, though, whether the gas is completely stable.
No, it's not visible as such; but you can see atmospheric vibration where it's present. |
