I did a quick search on the internet and found sheets of Nalgene
Polypaper and/or Nalgene Polypaper labels at the following:

Subject: [NHCOLL-L:4269] Nalgene PolyPaper

 

Hello

 

I have been using a plastic paper (Nalgene PolyPaper Plastic Paper -
cat. # 6304-0811) for more than 18 years to label preserved fish
specimens stored in formaldehyde and ethanol.  This paper is spun-bonded
polyethylene and is very resistant to moisture, chemicals (e.g.
formaldehyde and ethanol) and tearing (allowing the attachment of the
label to a specimen).  It has a special coating, which means that it can
be written on with a pencil, even underwater.  

 

Are you familiar with this particular product?  My stock is running low
and I would like to purchase some more.  However, I have been told that
this particular product is no longer supplied by Nalgene.  I have tried
unsuccessfully to find out who actually manufactured the paper, in case
they were prepared to supply the paper directly to me.

 

I am looking for plain paper stock.  We print either in-house for
specific labels using a dot-matrix printer with an indelible ink ribbon
(yes, old technology, but it works) or at a commercial printer for
pre-formatted field labels (again using an indelible ink).  The Nalgene
PolyPaper is 216 x 279 mm or 8-1/2 x 11 in. 

 

I was wondering whether anyone has used Nalgene PolyPaper previously? If
so, what are you using now and does it do the job?

 

This is a rather long shot.  Does anyone have some PolyPaper, which they
are willing to sell?

 

If you have not used Nalgene PolyPaper, do know of another plastic paper
that has similar specifications?

 

Thanks very much for your assistance.

 

Cheers

 

Al
