Don't trust your precious memories to just any storage media. The innovative materials found in Archival Gold CD-R's make them one of the most reliable storage mediums available. CD-R's are known to deteriorate quickly due to Earth's common elements: ultraviolet light, heat, and humidity. Using N.I.S.T.'s (National Institute of Standards and Technology) accelerated aging process to test the longevity of CD-R media, the 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.

Thirty percent of the cost to produce a Delkin Archival Gold disc is due to the use of 24 karat gold - one of the most inert elements on earth. The unique characteristics found in Gold prevent oxidation, one of the most common causes of CD-R's failure. The combination of Phthalocyanine dye and the use of gold in the reflective layer of the disc ensure that Archival Gold CD-R's provide the most extreme protection for your digital images from environmental degradation.

Scratch Armor Scratch Resistant Coating

Scratches, scuffs, dirt, chemicals and fingerprints can leave your recordable media damaged beyond repair.  Scratch Armor scratch resistant coating protects the surface of the disc over ten times better than uncoated media, so you can rest easy knowing that your memories, music and documents are safe from life’s daily grind.
