Storage Calculator for Color

Estimate the effects of temperature and relative humidity on degradation in film containing color dyes. Life span estimates represent the approximate time for 30% density loss if new color materials are kept in the dark at the specified temperature and RH levels. Refer to the IPI Storage Guide for Color Photographic Materials for more information.
