Traveling
by air with
PEC-12 :
Technically, the regulations allow some exemptions for small amounts
- usually ½ ounce or less (about 7 ½ mL) . The items
referred to in the regulations are for such things as small butane
lighters, and some medical items.
Strictly speaking the regulations seem to prohibit things like
cleaning solvents, especially in volumes greater than the allowable
½ ounce |

Since
1983, PEC-12, Photographic Emulsion Cleaner has been trusted
by the world's most prestigious photographers, labs, museums and
publishers. Not only does PEC-12 routinely save many of their
most valuable images, but it is the ONLY archival cleaner available.
What good is cleaning an image today, only to have the emulsion
slowly deteriorate over time? PEC-12 is a non-water based film
and print cleaner which removes virtually all non-water based
stains from color and B&W slides, negatives and prints.
In many cases, PEC-12
removes grease pencil, adhesive residue, finger oils, ball-point
pen, fungus, smoke & soot damage, laser separation oil and
most permanent inks. Containing no water, PEC-12 dries instantly
with no emulsion swelling and leaves no residue. PEC-12 is available
in a convenient 4 ounce pump-spray bottle and a 32 ounce refill.
Complete details and instructions are provided at time of purchase.
I
have been allowed to carry bottles of either product with no problem,
but I have heard from many photographers who had these items removed
from their carry-on. Putting these materials in your checked luggage
may put you at risk for violating the law, and the penalties are
quite stiff – $250,000 !
It is recommended you arrange to acquire these items
at your destination. Our website lists both US and non-US distributors.
