piqlFilm
Store your critical data on specialised film designed to last 1000+ years. When digital storage fails, piqlFilm endures.
Photosensitive Silver Halide Technology
piqlFilm combines cutting-edge photosensitive technology with the proven longevity of film. Your data is encoded at microscopic resolution (1180 line pairs per mm) onto nano silver halides on ultra-stable PET (polyethylene terephthalate) base material, creating a digital physical backup impervious to technological obsolescence, electromagnetic pulses, and data degradation.
The piqlFilm accommodates all digital information types and formats without discrimination. Databases, video files, photographs, documents, and audio recordings can all be preserved with equal fidelity on this versatile storage medium. As a write-once-read-many (WORM) storage solution, piqlFilm serves the critical need for archiving valuable information requiring safe storage across multiple decades.

Protected for Perpetuity
Years of accelerated aging and comprehensive testing by third party laboratories have validated piqlFilm's resistance to both internal degradation and external threats. The piqlFilm is tolerant to changes in temperatur and humidity, but the colder and dryer, and the more stable, the better, - and the liftime of the data will be extended. The piqlFilm is protected by the piqlBox, made and tested in Norway under the same scrutiny as piqlFilm.
Mind Blowing Longevity. Designed for Immortality
piqlFilm is revolutionary when it comes to longevity. With more than 15 years of accelerated aging and longevity testing, we now can document have data can be stored on piqlFilm for more than 1000 years as long as it is physically kept in reasonable conditions. Get in touch with us to learn more about the scientific testing that is done.
