FujiFilm, which is manufacturing the T10000C cartridges for Oracle, said the tape cartridge is the first from the company to use nanoscale Barium-Ferrite (BaFe) particles to coat the tape. Fujifilm claims that BaFe particles don't corrode or change chemically over time so that they add to the longevity of the product.

The company also coats both sides of its thinner tape to achieve the higher capacity drives. Typically, tape drives are coated with iron-oxide (Fe) particles, but not barium.
