👉 The VHS fluid, or Video Home System (VHS) tape coating, is a complex mixture of materials designed to record and store video signals on magnetic tape. It primarily consists of a polyester base, which provides structural integrity and flexibility, and a layer of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) that acts as a binder and protective coating. The fluid also includes additives such as dyes, lubricants, and stabilizers to enhance the tape's durability, resistance to environmental factors, and smoothness during recording and playback. These components work together to ensure the tape can withstand repeated handling and maintain signal quality over time, making VHS tapes a reliable medium for home video recording.
