Designed to protect unprocessed film from harmful X-rays during airport security and customs checks, lead-lined Domke Film Guard Bag (Small) also protects other sensitive media from the low-dosage X-ray machines used in airports around the world. Without FilmGuard, unprocessed film can become fogged or streaked. Use FilmGuard in carry-on luggage, because checked luggage is exposed to high-dosage X-rays that FilmGuard cannot protect against.
Tested Protection for Carry-On Screening
FilmGuard bags were tested for effectiveness by InVision Technologies, Inc., manufacturers of the only Federal Aviation Administration-approved checked-luggage scanning system. Film with speeds up to ISO 800 was tested. Extensive testing showed that the FilmGuard design protects film and disks from the low-dosage X-ray units used to screen carry-on luggage. The tests also showed that the amount of lead required to protect film from high-dosage X-ray units would make the bags too heavy to be practical.
Durable Triple-Layer Construction
Triple-layer construction also helps keep out dust and moisture. Each bag features a lead-impregnated vinyl sheet sandwiched between an outer shell of ballistic nylon and an interior layer of smooth lining.
Capacity
Holds up to 15 rolls of 35 mm film
