Subject: Are Medium Format Mounts Archival?

Now that I am mounting so many medium format slides it has occurred to me to wonder whether the mounts are archival, or will the films eventually become damaged by them. If anyone has any thoughts on the subject I would appreciate hearing them.

Who's mounts are you specifically referring to?

I have noticed that my older RMM mounts (5 years old and
originally white) have turned a little yellow with age. I don't
see any damage to the film. I haven't used any other mount long
enough to see a change. Likely the China plastic mounts are not
going to change much, if at all, but of course they are not
available in 80 X 132mm format.

I have used Paul Talbot's, but am now using the black mounts from 3dstereo.com. It has occurred to me that black is even more likely to have acid in it, but I have no particular reason to believe anything in particular about either of them. If you know of some that are archival let me know.
