On the box mine says:
 Black Magic Additive
Art.Nr./No.: 6200
LPE520

On the label on the bottles it says:
LLP 92 /LPE 520
Black Magic Hardener

 and on the back, all in German, it says all

Just to be sure I'm clear here. Are you assuming that the diluted solution
is 2.5%? Not the bottled solution?

There is no sheet inside with mine... but perhaps you mean the label on the
bottles. Or did you get more info than I got? There is a sticker on the side
of the box that says "for films: 1/20 part of LP-Geladur per working
solution"

I emailed Maco and they did not email back. But the

I wonder if that is for the stock solution as sold or the working solution?

I so hate being the ugly American trapped inside my language singularity.
