To avoid trace fading or background development, the paper must not
be exposed to or come in contact with the following, either before or
after recording:
l
Solvent-based adhesives, as used in mounting forms, pressure-
sensitive tapes, labels, and common mending tapes. Starch- or
water-based adhesives may be used.
l
Plastics containing plasticisers, such as vinyl chlorides (PVC)
typically found in vinyl sheet protectors, separators and plastic
envelopes. Other plasticisers include polyethylene glycol,
dioctyl phthalate, and dioctyl adipate.
l
Glossy (or non-glossy) papers containing tributyl phosphate,
dibutyl phthalate, or other organic solvents, such as FAX and
other non-chemical/thermal recording paper, or product
literature.
l
Liquid or vaporous solvents, such as alcohols, ketones, esters,
ethers, etc. Note that many of these solvents are found in felt-tip
and other marking pens.
l
Petroleum-based solvents, such as toluene, benzene, and
gasoline.
l
Bright light or UV sources such as sunlight, flourescent and
related light sources.
l
Chemicals containing castor oil, ammonia, some chemicals
found in common hand and face creams, or citric acid (found in
fruit juices).
l
Forms containing carbon or carbonless (NCR) copy sheets.
l
Pastes, creams or gels commonly used for ECG or ultrasound
tests that contain any of the above or related chemicals.
If original recordings are stored, it is recommended that records be
checked annually to determine their integrity. However, where long
term storage is desired, the user should consider photocopying or
microfilming, or electronic or optical storage or a fade resistant paper.
The PTP™ brand thermal papers offer improved archivability. See
"Supplies" for ordering information.
