Worlds Most Reliable CD-R Media From Delkin

Delkin Devices, Inc., manufacturer of quality eFilm memory cards and other innovative products, today introduced the eFilm Archival Gold “300-Year” CD-R. eFilm Archival Gold CD-R’s incorporate patented Phthalocyanine (thalo-sy-a-neen) dye and a 24k gold reflective layer into every CD-R. The innovative materials found in eFilm Archival Gold CD-R’s make them one of the most reliable storage medium available. Typically CD-R’s are known to deteriorate quickly due to Earth’s common elements: ultra violet light, heat, and humidity. Using an accelerated aging process to test the longevity of CD-R media, eFilm 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. Gold’s inert characteristics prevent oxidation, a common cause of failure to most CD-Rs. Along with the Phthalocyanine dye and gold reflective layer, eFilm Archival Gold CD-R’s provide the most extreme protection for your digital images from environmental degradation.

Delkin will begin shipping eFilm Archival Gold CD-R’s in early October in a variety of quantities and types of packaging. The CD-R 10 Pack will be sold in a protective plastic case that holds 10 CD-R’s in polypropylene sleeves. There will be a 1” 3 ring binder available with 16 eFilm Archival Gold CD-R’s in protective sleeves. The 25 pack will be available in a cake box type spindle. Delkin also plans to ship 100 CD-R’s in bulk packaging. eFilm Archival Gold CD-R’s will be available at consumer photography and electronic stores worldwide and online at Delkin’s website.
