Hello fellow members,
I have a bunch of banknotes, stamps, gramota and other certificates, ID documents, photos, obligatya, loto tickets, travellers cheques that I would like to organize into binders photo album. I need binders because I need to be able to customize it as I need. I will need to mix pages that have a single large pocket for big document, with pages that have 3 horizontal pockets (for banknotes for example) and with other pages that have 4 pockets for ID paper or booklet, etc..
It is not easy to find a supplier that offer lot of flexibility with the page layout. Also, size format of the page needs to be standard so I can easily find binders for it. I found A4 pages in UK, but here in North America, it's almost impossible to find such binders.
So, I finally found a website (LINDNER) which has 12 different pages layouts.
Those are the "uniplate" stock sheets for 3-ring binders found in this page.
Multi-Purpose Albums
They say "Of course, UNIPLATE stock sheets are made of the highest quality material - Hard-PVC which is 100% free of any chemical softeners."
I am not knowledgeable in term of materials and I learned that PVC is not good. But when doing more research on internet (Wikipedia), I found that PVC was bad because of "phtalates" or plastifiers that were added to it to make it softer. Therefore, unplastified PVC or "hard PVC" like they say here seems to be better.
At the price they sell their sheets, it seems to be of good quality and they must know what they are doing. I mean, I guess their material is safe since it's made for stamps and other fragile documents.
But I would like to get member's opinions here. If you know this topic, I would like to learn more before making a purchase.
I emailed LINDNER and they told me this:
[INDENT]Many people are misinformed about PVC. Most of Lindner and other stamp products are made of PVC. Rigid PVC is inert and will not react with other products. Trajan publishing who produce Canadian Stamp News and Canadian Coin News. Are running an article on PVC to clear the air on this.[/INDENT]
If someone has access to that article from Trajan, please email it to me at [email protected]
I have really no knowledge in plastics and materials, but I find what they say make sense. Does it?
