There, I have to respectfully disagree. Floppy disks do not use an epoxy binder, but usually a polyurethane-based one. (Most are proprietary formulations). Hard disk coatings usually use an epoxy-phenolic binder, but they're not on a flexible substrate. Polyurethane isn't forever and tends to be somewhat hygroscopic. --Chuck
