Danchek AD Strips – There are 250 pcs. 1x4cm strips in the black plastic bag.
Inside the black bag you will find one bag with 1 gram silica. This has been prepared with a solution of 10% Sodium Carbonate and dried. This keeps the AD-Strip blue at all times.
The card, which you can use for comparison of the acidity level is as accurate as possible. The AD-Strip is purely a chemical reaction in pH values and should be considered as such. Smell is of no importance in the evaluation and has been taken out of our documentation. Also there are fewer readings.
The control card is in English – French – German and Spanish.
Shipping charges at your choice Letter postage international Letter postage recommended GLS – DHL – FedEx – UPS and will be added.
Tip – As the indicators have a tendency to “glue” together then put them in a small tin and shake them well – or else you probably put several pieces on a film.
Description.
It is very sensitive indicator that senses the “Vinegar Syndrome” just by touching the film.
The color is blue when in the pouch. After taking the wanted number of testers out of the pouch, squeeze the air out and close the pouch carefully. Take the lid off your film can, place the indicator on the film and make a note of the time.
The reading can be done after 24 hours depending on the temperature. For cold conditions expect 2-3 days for an accurate reading. 24 hours is based on 20 degree C. Compare the reading with the color chart and make a note of the level of acidity.
If the color changes to olive green (pH 4,6) you have reached the critical autocatalytic point, which is the point where you should consider separating it from the rest of the collection and begin to duplicate. If the indicator has not reacted within 24 hours nothing is critical. If you leave the indicator in the open air it will fade. Close contact with severely degraded acetate and nitrate films (touching and sniffing) may be a health hazard.
Acetic acid and other acidic products emitted by degraded film have been known to produce contact burns, skin and mucous membrane irritations, and other physiological effects.
Protective gloves and adequate ventilation are strongly recommended for handling degraded films.
There will be no further instructions.
After 25 years we have re-invented the Daneye. The old version had crystals in the “cup” and a lid of thick filterpaper holding the crystals back, yet able to “breethe”
The main problem with this Daneye is that the crystals shrink with time and the cup is only half full and more difficult to read.
Recently we have made it with a plastic sieve instead of the filterpaper, but the crystals of finer size tends to come out.
We use this new Moplen as from 18th July 2022. The plastic feels a little harder and it is unbreakable.
Dancan Plastic Film Cans
We are proud to present our program of 8 film cans in 35 and 16mm and film cores. Our stabilized film cans are the only true archival film can in the world. ( Extended term storage conditions specified by SMPTE, ISO, FIAF). We manufacture our film cans in a copolymer polypropylene called Moplen. This material is the highest quality you can get. It moulds easily, has a good feeling and no tendency to warpage.We deliver in standard in blue. Other colors on request.
All our filmcans can delivered with 2 pcs. 8mm holes for ventilation (chimneys) in 35mm cans and 2 pcs. 6mm holes in 16mm cans. This is an option. Some archives don’t want this feature so they don’t get it.
PAT Photographic Activity Test (Per ANSI IT9.16) ( This test is from March 2015 called Job 2260

Job 2260
Manufactured for Dancan in Barcelona
Produced in Moplen Copolymer Polypropylene
Dancan for extended term film storage. Research at Manchester Metropolitan University in England has determined which plastic and stabilizer (additives) offer the best protection against deterioration. Dancan is manufactured in chemically inert homopolymer polypropylene.
Dancan features optional 11mm hole in the side for mounting of Danchek Control Eye which indicates the release of acid fumes in acetate film.
Data from independent tests performed at the Image Permanence Institute at Rochester Institute of Technology shows that Dancan Plastic Film Can has passed the PAT Photographic Activity Test (Per ANSI IT9.16). It also conforms with SMPTE and other ANSI Standards.

Since the dawn of film ‘bobbins’ have been made of wood or many different types of plastic, from pvc to polystyrene and wood. Polyolefins are the most suitable and most economic materials for archive film containers and cores. They have the advantage of a simple structure with only carbon and hydrogen atoms in their molecular make up. High-density polyethylene and polypropylene are the best choices, since they act as effective barriers to oxygen diffusion. Formulation using synergistic combinations of additives offering good thermal protection are needed. This we call a stabilizer and is used in the manufacturing process of Dancan film cans as well as in Dancore ‘bobbins’. Data from independent tests performed at the Image Permanence Institute at Rochester Institute of Technology proves that Dancan plastic film can has passed the PAT Photographic Activity Test. (same formulation for Dancore) (ANSI IT9.16) It also conforms with SMPTE and other ANSI Standards. |

How to punch an 11mm hole in the side of any film can
It is a simple task to punch a hole in the side of a film can. But how many can offer you a punching device that does it so close to the bottom of the can? The hole must be 11mm in diameter. We can also deliver Danlock to punch 6 or 8mm holes for ventilation.The indicator also clicks-in-tightly into 2,5mm carton/plastic cans. Please study the indicator seen from the side. Please note that the lid on 16mm tins will cover the hole in the bottom and you therefore need to punch a half-moon in the lid. This also applies to any other type of container.

Long-term storage of film has been an industry concern since the beginning of motion pictures. Moisture, temperature, acids and vapors from the atmosphere that surround stored film have an impact on the life expectancy of motion picture film.
“Vinegar Syndrome”, is a term used to describe the chemical reaction that goes on during the deterioration of cellulose triacetate film support. When cellulose triacetate begins to decompose, “deacetylation” occurs and the acetate ion reacts with moisture to form acetic acid producing a vinegar odor when a can is opened. Once the reaction is started, it cannot be stopped.
Molecular Sieve is a promising new technology developed by Eastman Kodak Company, that has the ability to retard the vinegar syndrome reaction. Simply stated, the inclusion of Molecular Sieve with processed motion picture film in a sealed container has the ability to extend the life of the dye images and film support beyond that which is currently considered normal.
