[NHCOLL-L:4272] re: Nalgene paper

[Alexandra M Snyder]

Dear Alastair,

I have used Tyvek (product name), which is also made of 
spun-bonded polyethylene olefin fibers, for labeling 
oversize fish specimens in tanks of ethanol, formalin, and 
isopropanol.  The label is printed using an impact printer 
(Epson LQ 870). The thermal transfer labels/plastic paper 
do not work as well for tank specimens as the hole tends 
to tear out.  I purchase Tyvek 6060 sheets (#18)  of 
23"x35" from University Products, Massachusetts USA. 
(www.universityproducts.com) This is a heavier paper than 
the rolls of type 1443R.
