Fire damage to polyester enclosures

From: Barbara Buchanan <*barbara_buchanan*> Date: Friday, January 22, 1999 · barbara_buchanan

Has anybody had any experience with fire damage to paper documents
in mylar enclosures? Obviously, the mylar will protect the documents
from water damage, but what happens when the heat is intense enough
to melt the mylar and what kind of recovery is possible?
