300 Year Archival Gold CD-R Disks!Don't trust your precious memories to just any storage media.
The innovative materials found in Archival Gold CD-R's make them one of
the most reliable storage mediums available. CD-R's are known to
deteriorate quickly due to Earth's common elements: ultraviolet light,
heat, and humidity. Using N.I.S.T.'s (National Institute of Standards
and Technology) accelerated aging process to test the longevity of CD-R
media, the Archival Gold CD-R's have been shown to safely store your
images for more than 300 years.
The patented Phthalocyanine dye
is the most critical component of the CD-R because it is where your
data is stored. Your CD burner creates pits in the dye layer when it
burns a CD-R and your digital information is stored in these pits. The
Phthalocyanine dye reacts quicker to the writing laser than dyes found
in most CD-R's on the market, thus making sharper pit edges and making
your CD-R easier to read by CD drives. Compared to Cyanine and Azo dyes
found in the majority of CD-R's on the market, Phthalocyanine dye lasts
significantly longer when subjected to the harmful effects of UV light,
heat, and humidity.
Thirty
percent of the cost to produce a Delkin Archival Gold disc is due to
the use of 24 karat gold - one of the most inert elements on earth. The
unique characteristics found in Gold prevent oxidation, one of the most
common causes of CD-R's failure. The combination of Phthalocyanine dye
and the use of gold in the reflective layer of the disc ensure that
Archival Gold CD-R's provide the most extreme protection for your
digital images from environmental degradation.
