LAST Factory - Tape Preservative (TP)
Not a coating – Not a film – Leaves no residue
Magnetic tape starts to lose data within 8 years and can become totally unreadable within 20 years. But you don’t have to lose your favorite music and family memories. LAST Tape Preservative substantially increases the life of the tape by providing protection from the environment (moisture) and mechanical wear. Just one application protects for the life of the tape.
Moisture and oxidation are the top causes of tape degradation. They damage the binder of the tape, which is made of acetate or polyester. LAST Tape Preservative stops that deterioration and stabilizes the binder. It also dramatically reduces the friction at the tape/head interface, extending the life of the tape up to 10 times.
FEATURES:
- Significantly reduces data loss from magnetic tape
- Protects the binder from deterioration by humidity
- Extends the life of heads and guides
- Reduces tape wear and distortion
- Reduces tape abrasiveness and scrape flutter
- Improves playback performance and high frequency response
- Increases S:N ratio
- Extends tape life by up to 10 times
