Gaseous peroxides form blemishes on some processed microfilms. Two procedures are given for testing the blemish susceptibility of processed microfilm, one using peroxide paper and the other zinc powder as a source of peroxide. The susceptibility of microfilm to blemish formation decreased when conditioned at 86 percent relative humidity and 26 °C. Coarse-grain microfilms are less susceptible to blemish formation than fine-grain microfilm. Fine-grain microfilms fixed in ammonium thiosulfate were less susceptible to blemish formation than those fixed in sodium thiosulfate. Oven-aged microfilm storage cartons were found to generate peroxide when wetted. The microfilm base readily absorbed hydrogen peroxide.
