Archival Storage
New Provent Film Containers
To ensure the maximum lifespan of your film collection, proper ventilation is paramount. The greatest on-going, daily threat to film collections is acidic decomposition. The better your film can breathe, the less likely it is to succumb to vinegar syndrome. After extensive research, Tuscan has developed a revolutionary new actively ventilated container that significantly improves airflow compared to standard ventilated containers, reducing free acid levels and literally bringing new life into your valuable film collection.
ProVent's innovative new design incorporates two key elements. Ventilation slots on the container serve as parallel entry and exit points to facilitate air exchange. Raised ribs on the floor of the container actively direct airflow under and around the film evenly, while also providing solid support to avoid edge distortion. Platform designs do not provide the same level of airflow as ProVent.
- Raised cover allows air space above the film.
- Chemically inert polypropylene restricts off-gassing.
- Entire sidewall accepts standard labeling.
- Full range of 16mm and 35mm sizes for protected storage of 400ft to 2,000ft of film.
- Convenient nesting rings ensure stable stacking.
- Industry standard sizes maximize storage space and allow stacking with standard metal cans.
- UL™ Certified for non-halogenated* flame retardancy, complies with flame rating UL94V-2.
Our actively ventilated ProVent design will begin replacing current ProVent containers later in 2004, beginning with the 16mm-2000ft and 35mm-1200ft sizes. In the meantime, we have ample inventory of our current ProVent containers to supply your immediate requirements.
*Halogenated fire retardant not in excess of 2% by weight.
