Title: effeciency of carbon paper in packaging ?
Post by: HIIII Power on February 12, 2013, 01:45 pm
Greetz everyone..

its a question that always pops in my mind.. how good is carbon paper in blocking or interfering with x-ray process..

i have read that the carbon paper can mess up the image of the molecule formation and hence cheat the analysis..

example: powder sugar and coke have almost the same density.. but the molecular structure of coke is different, Hence when the x ray is

analysing the structure then carbon blocks few waves that are reflecting back for analysis.

i wonder if anybody can put his expert opinion.


Cheers..

Thanks  :)

Hope someone can play the Mythbuster here !!

My research concluded the following :

The new X ray machines adopted in Dubai , Sweden , Australia , and some Parts of the US , scans diagonal and horizontal image. Hence analyzing the molecular structure of the material. If the structure matches with what " Famous drugs " look like hence an alarm goes . designated by the color. 

the only way to block these rays is a lead plate, which obviously cant be posted ( too heave and too expensive ) ; hence comes the carbon.

Now : i have read many threads outside SR that claim , the carbon interferes  with the image scanned back to analyze the molecule structure. 

So we come to the conclusion ? is carbon necessary ? will the courier companies flag the use of carbon ?


Peace HP

Pop corn is another idea

Very interesting question and thread. It sounds like an urban myth, but fingers crossed, right?
