Does any of you know a lab where they're still capable of applying "Photogard" (e.g. Scotchgard) to motion picture film?
Via Google BIG Film comes into focus, but they've abandoned their coating activities.
Is there any company left who can do this?

Technicolor US shut theirs down 2 months ago.

I recently bought some policy trailers from Filmack that were Scotchguarded. You might check with them.

I would check with the IMAX people...last I heard...most of their normal fare (museum type movies) were photogarded perf-to-perf

Thank you all for your response!
Scott's information turned out to be very helpful.
Though Filmack had also abandoned their activities in this area, they were very cooperative and were able to assist me further which was quite successful.
