Product Identity
The Kodak TXR455 is a 16mm black-and-white reversal movie film supplied as a 100-foot roll. It produces a positive image directly on the film, removing the need for a separate negative stage. This makes it suited to cinematographers and photographers who want direct projection or duplication from the original capture.
Anti-Halation Benefit
An anti-halation undercoat suppresses halation around bright highlights when shooting under artificial light. The result is cleaner tonal separation in interior scenes where practical lamps or studio fixtures appear in frame. The film also delivers excellent tonal gradation and sharpness across the exposure range.
Handling Notes
Loading follows standard 16mm magazine or camera procedure; no special chemistry is required beyond normal reversal processing. The main risk is exposing the roll to stray light during loading or unloading, which will fog the positive image. Store cool and process promptly to retain the highlighted latitude.

Questions about this item
How many rolls of 100-foot 16mm film will I need for a full day of shooting?
Each roll is a single 100-foot load; plan on one roll per shooting session and keep spares chilled until you load the camera.
Will the reversal process limit how much I can push the TXR455 in low light?
The film is a high-speed panchromatic reversal stock rated for daylight and artificial light; pushing beyond its box speed increases grain and reduces the tonal gradation it is known for.
Does the anti-halation undercoat affect how the film handles heat inside a 16mm magazine during long takes?
The undercoat is an optical layer that prevents halation; it does not change the film's thermal behaviour, so store exposed rolls cool and process promptly.
