Scary white substance on Polyethylene Sleeves

the powder substance will not do any harm to the records, but it is an ingredient used to avoid the film from adhering together. 

I wonder if that applies to the "Living Stereo" records as well.

The hint is in the name!

Thank you for contacting us.  This is something that we have seen occasionally over the years.  Per the manufacturer, the powder substance will not do any harm to the records, but it is an ingredient used to avoid the film from adhering together.  I hope this helps.  Please contact us if you have any additional questions.

Maybe a thin outside/exterior dusting of ???  to control sticking during the manufacturing process (like cellulite added to pre-shredded cheese and mold release  used when pressing records)?

Perhaps a reaction between your wallpapers and the Poly?

@roxy54 ,

Why, whatever do you mean??😁

Good one @thecarpathian . Back in the day, we used whatever was handy, right?

I’m just hoping that Polyethelyne will eventually not be found out to be just as bad as PVC 

Used that instead of a mirror?

I hope that it's not anthrax or ricin!
