1. Support

Dimensionally Stable Support

ESY 4 mil (0.004 in., 0.10mm) Estar base

2. Reciprocity

With recommended processing, the reciprocity speed change is negligible (1/3-photographic stop or less) within exposure range of 1/1000 second to 1 billionth second; there is no change in contrast.

3. Dimensional Stability

Dimensional stability is an all-inclusive term. In photography, it applies to size changes caused by changes in humidity and in temperature, and by processing and aging. The dimensional properties of the Estar base may vary slightly in different directions within a sheet; the differences that may exist, however, are not always aligned with the length and width directions:

Differences in size change between length and width should be within 10 percent of each other.

Thermal Coefficient of Linear Expansion

Unprocessed or Processed 0.001% per ° F (0.0018% per ° C)
