Description
MOLECULAR SIEVESThis auction is for a full foil pouch of molecular sieves containing 120 sieves. These packets are put in film cans with your movie film to absorb acetic acid (vinegar syndrome). A must for storing 8mm, 16mm, or 35mm film archivally. Helps prevent vinegar syndrome in healthy prints, or helps lengthen the life of vinegar prints. Sometimes a larger film can is necessary to accommodate the packets. In many cases there is room around the edge of the reel in the can. This is a small investment to save a film that could be worth hundreds of dollars, or your home movies that cannot be replaced. IL residents add 9.75% sales tax.
Shipping free in USA. Please visit our E-Bay store for other film goodies.
