<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I have been using a particular plastic paper, coated Nalgene PolyPaper Plastic Paper for about 25 years to label preserved fish specimens stored in formaldehyde and ethanol
solutions. It was sold originally by the Nalge Company in USA (cat. no. 6304-0811). This paper is spun-bonded polyethylene and is very resistant to moisture, chemicals and tearing. It has a special coating, which means that it can be written on with a pencil,
even under water. It also can printed on using a dot-matrix printer or letterpress. It was available in packs of 100 sheets (216 x 279 mm or 8-1/2 x 11 in.).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I have been told by Thermo Fisher (who now own Nalge) that this product has been discontinued - I do not know why. Perhaps there was a lack of demand for it. Besides our
collection, I know other collections and fieldworkers (particularly because it is waterproof) also have used PolyPaper for many years.
