Kodak Molecular Sieve is an acid scavenger that helps to extend the storage life and improve dye stability of films by retarding unwanted vinegar syndrome reactions. Each packet contains 12.5g of desiccant within a Tyvek packet, which should be placed inside the outside circumference of film canisters along with the film and then wrapped within a polyethylene plastic bag or sealed with moisture-proof tape. The packets, which come in strips of six, are sized for 35mm films but can be folded in half lengthwise when used with 16mm films.
This item includes 120 packets, with each containing 12.5g of desiccant. The packets are provided in 21.25"-long strips of six packets each.
