If Kodak's ESTAR base film can hold a Crown Victoria to a hydro pole, it can surely be used to hang someone!  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA.

The tensile strength of Kodak ESTAR polyester film base is about 25,000 pounds per square inch. The toughness is about 20,000 inch-pounds per cubic inch, almost five times greater than triacetate base. In great movies, the souls of many have indeed been captured for the ages: Garbo, Bogart, Hepburn, Tracy, Chaplin, Gable, Garland, etc. live on in films.  |  IP: Logged
