However , film of current manuf acture has not b een found to exhibi t brit tleness or breaking tende ncies under normal handling , even at relati ve humidit ies as low as 15%. Old f ilm that is found t o be brit tle at low humidit y should be reconditioned to a[...]

Air Conditioning Properly cont rol led air conditi oning of the storage area is defin itely recommended for the opti m um long-ter m preservat ion of permanent records. The air should be filt ered t o remove dust , cleansed of gas[...]

8 D-31 June 2002 Humidification Humidifi cati on is not necessary or desirable unless t he prevaili ng relati ve humidit y is under 15%—under 30% for polyester -base films—for long periods of time and unless the fi lm is used frequentl y and physical troubles are encounter ed. Neither water trays nor saturat ed chemical soluti ons should be use[...]

D-31 Ju ne 2002 9 The conditio ns under which micro fi lm is stored have been f ound to play an im portant role in the development of microscopi c blemishes. S t orage in cool, dr y air that is free of oxid izing gases or vapors is an ef fective means for arrestin g their format ion and growth. S torage in sealed, met al cans is a sound preventive [...]

D-31 Ju ne 2002 11 Processing for Permanence Silver -Gel atin Films Processing is one of the most import ant factors af fecting the p otential permanence of photographi c records. The remo val of resi dual processing chemicals, the excl usion of dirt conta mination , and unif orm drying are factors normally cont rol led by proper proces sin g. Proc[...]

12 D-31 June 2002 Squeegees It is import ant to use an adequate squeegee where the film leaves th e water wash and enters the drying sect i on. Otherwise, res i dual water droplet s will dry and form vis ibl e sur face defect s and, in some cases, cause physic al st icking of the film l aps. In wound- up roll s, these s pot s may provide plac es wh[...]

Fi lm intended for this kind of sto rage should be condit ioned to a low rela tive humidi ty (20-30% is recommended for acetate- base films) in[...]

D-31 Ju ne 2002 15 Insp ectio n The potential life of photograp hic records depends largely on atmospheric conditions —temperature, humidity , cleanliness—and the manner in whi ch the film is used. If storage condi tions are kept within the limi t s suggested in T able 3, in spect ion of an adeq uate number of proper ly select ed lot samples sh[...]
