purchase it easily at a Kodak or a Photo store. Pure chemical grade products in the last century were hard to locate before the internet, and, I believe, in some cases only available to institutions. I was able 15 or 20 years ago to find a chemical supply company on the internet in order to purchase my bottle of Triton X-114. I only learned of Triton X-114 by reading Laura dearborn's book "Good Sound."
I now have a warning for Triton X solutions that arose two days ago. When I went to my hifi accessory shelf to locate something, I discovered that the Triton X-114 bottle had been leaking from some hole in the soft plastic bottle used by the chemical supplier. At first I thought it was one of the turntable oils stored on the shelf, but the fluid washed off in water and produced suds. I then noticed the bottle of Triton X-114 was only half full. As you know, only a little of the Triton X products are used in cleaning solutions. There was no way that the 250ml bottle should have been only half full. So, I have transferred all of the remaining Triton solution to a glass jar and hope I don't have to handle all that clean up again. It was very hard to remove the Triton solution from all the other items that were sitting on the shelf. All the paper goods including small boxes were thrown away. I hope my septic system will be okay.
Since nothing on my accessory shelf was sharp, I am guessing that the nonionic surfactant in Triton X-114 finally ate a hole in the soft plastic bottle after all these years. I will continue to use Triton compounds for cleaning, but I will make sure that they are stored in glass jars from now on.
