The Ilford is not a surfactant it is "ILFORD ILFOTOL is a non-ionic wetting agent used as a final rinse before drying films. It can be used in all manual and machine processes to greatly reduce the risk of drying marks being formed."Originally Posted by Jimbo
By adding it in a small amount it lowers the viscosity(breaking surface tension of water) and thus the cleaning mix can get in the grooves so to speak. I also add a small amount to the distilled water I use for rinsing off before vacuum drying. This seems to work very well.https://www.ilfordphoto.com/1905162
Listening is the act of aural discrimination and dissemination of sound, and accepting you get it wrong sometimes.

I doubt that Triton X-100 can be purchased easily now.
It looks like nasty stuff.

in many cases they are the same tho.
Surfactants are chemical compounds that decrease the surface tension or interfacial tension between two liquids, a liquid and a gas, or a liquid and a solid. Surfactants may function as emulsifiers, wetting agents, detergents, foaming agents, or dispersants.
