The paper is currently undergoing internal review here at CCI. Hopefully,
it should be published within 6 months.
Some interesting results about the effect that jewel cases have on CDs and
CD-Rs were discovered. What I can say right now is that replacing regular
holding trays with the Corrosion Intercept trays did not lead to more
stable discs. This conclusion was based on temp and RH accelerated aging.
The aging environment was "clean" or in other words no introduction of
pollutants in the aging atmosphere. It is not known if these trays would
benefit the discs in environments where there is a lot of pollution around.
(This is a planned study in the next year or so.)
As another teaser, if you go with gold metal layer and phthalocyanine dye
CD-Rs, neither jewel cases nor insert materials affect disc stability. As
expected. For other CD-Rs and CDs ...... I will inform the list when the
paper is published.

While browsing around the Bags Unlimited web site I noticed they sell the
Corrosion Intercept inserts. Has Joe Iraci's paper, described below, been
published? Looks like an interesting study (even though we are all
switching to hard drives, right?).

I am currently performing some research looking at the effect of jewel
cases with different inserts trays on the stability of CDs/CD-Rs. I
have
included the Corrosion Intercept product in the study. A paper with
the
results should be published in 6 to 12 months.

Has anyone come across Corrosion Intercept CD Inserts, as described
here
http://www.omega-intercept.com/cd_protection.html? Primarily they
claim
to neutralise any off-gassing which might otherwise adversarily affect
the reflective layer of a CD/CDR/CDRW.
Experiences and opinions welcomed.
