Author Topic: Photogard / Scotchgard application still done? Rob J. Buskop Expert Film Handler Posts: 111 From: Rotterdam, the Netherlands Registered: Aug 2005 posted 07-29-2012 07:24 AM                     Does any of you know a lab where they're still capable of applying "Photogard" (e.g. Scotchgard) to motion picture film? Via Google BIG Film comes into focus, but they've abandoned their coating activities. Is there any company left who can do this?  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 07-29-2012 01:02 PM                     Technicolor US shut theirs down 2 months ago.  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA.

You might check with them.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

Scott's information turned out to be very helpful. Though Filmack had also abandoned their activities in this area, they were very cooperative and were able to assist me further which was quite successful.  |  IP: Logged
