Quantum DLTtape Technology takes advantage of the latest advances in
binder chemistry with its unique high-grade metal particle (MP)
formulation. By combining both solid and liquid lubricants in the tape
binder system, tape and head wear are reduced while repelling airborne
particles that could affect read/write head performance. In addition, by
using a uniform particle shape, a dense binding system, a smooth
coating surface, and a specially selected base film, Quantum DLTtape
half–inch cartridge tapes take advantage of shorter wave–length
recording schemes to ensure read compatibility with future
generations of DLTtape drives.
