Trial #1
To determine the effects of cleaners on the photographic stencil film.
There are no related objects.
The CDF Direct film was cut into eight, 2"x4" sections. Each section was placed into a vial containing a cleaning product. The vials were capped and allowed to sit for four hours. At the end of the soaking, the film sections were removed from the vials. Observations were made and recorded.
SUBSTRATE MATERIAL: CDF Direct-Film (Photographic Stencil Films)
CONTAMINANTS: None
Several of the cleaning chemistries caused the colored portion of the film to separate from the clear backing. Others left the colored portion wrinkled. Table 1 lists the observations made for each cleaner.
