Hi,all:
I recently got a Tandberg TDC-3820 tape drive and some matching QIC data cartridge tapes, the tapes model are '3M DC6150', and they look like they're 150MB capacity. These tapes are all brand new and unopened. Each comes in individual carton packs. After unpacking the carton, there is also a protective film on the plastic box packaging of the tape. When I tore off this plastic protective film, I felt that my hands were very slippery, as if I had touched some special oil. and this slippery feeling was very uncomfortable.
As a last resort I took the tapes out and soaped the plastic boxes in the sink, which took me about 5 minutes per box. Then I felt a little better, they didn't seem to be that slippery anymore. I packed them up and went to bed. But when I got up again, I felt that slippery feeling in my hands again. It's such a bad feeling, I was wondering if anyone has experience with this tape? Or encountered something similar? What material is this strange box made of?
Thank you.
