This is a respool of Double-X 5222. It has no times of its own — the parent stock's apply, and are shown below marked as inherited.

Development times

No development times published yet

Nothing is filled in with a guess here. A time is published only once it has been read off a primary source, because a plausible wrong time costs somebody a roll they cannot reshoot.

Spectral sensitivity
Panchromatic — what this means

Sensitive to the whole visible spectrum, so colours turn into greys roughly the way the eye weighs them. This is what almost every general-purpose black and white film is. It has to be loaded and developed in complete darkness — no safelight is safe for it.
