If video tape is badly stored in a damp environment, mould
can start to attack the tape. This is extremely serious and can destroy
all types of video & audio tape if not professionally cleaned.
We recommend that customers do not try to play tapes with obvious mould
damage. This can render their equipment useless by clogging the playback
machine. The contamination will also attack other tapes played in the
same machine.
We offer a tape cleaning service and we specialise in this area of tape
recovery. Mould often appears as a white powdery substance that can be
seen inside the tape housing.
