Taiyo Yuden announces sale of a new DVD-R under its in-house “That's” brand that features “Triple Guard*” technology, a special coating for the DVD-R recording surface, to protect irreplaceable data from scratches, blemishes and dust. Naturally, this DVD-R is a high-quality made-in-Japan product.

Depending on how it is handled, the DVD-R, which has become a popular media for recording data or video, can be prone to scratches or blemishes that can scramble video or voice on the recording surface, or prevent stored data from being read out. In response to user demands for a DVD-R that would be more resistant to scratches or blemishes even with frequent use, and that could be used for a longer time, Taiyo Yuden developed a DVD-R that uses “Triple Guard” to improve durability while retaining compatibility, stability, and storage performance. A special coating on the recording surface protects the DVD-R from scratches, blemishes and dust, and enables relaxed, long-term enjoyment even with frequent use.

The “Triple Guard” DVD-R characteristics are as follows.

Highlights of That’s “Triple Guard”
① Scratch guard: Boosts scratch resistance by 200 times (compared with previous Taiyo Yuden product)
Protects against scratches that are caused by accidental bumping or scuffing against things when the DVD-R is inserted into or retrieved from the case or disk drive.
② Blemish guard: Reduces fingerprint adherence to less than 1/7th (compared with previous Taiyo Yuden product)
