Would you use them for permanent storage, or are the sleeves acidic?

Not that I can criticise anybody for using inappropriate storage, when I keep such things as booklets and presentation packs in a Tupperware container that my mother used in the 1970s for storing home-made cakes.

From the (US) National Postal Museum on polypropylene sleeves. Many sold today are made from polypropylene, Example: Avery brand.

Polypropylene is similar to polyester film in clarity. It is also used as sleeves for storing photographs, papers and philatelic material. The museum often uses polypropylene page protectors for album pages when rehousing a collection.
