Designed with longevity in mind, this museum board is acid-free and lignin-free, incorporating both internal and external alkaline sizing for added protection. It's buffered with calcium carbonate, which safeguards your precious works from the harmful effects of acid migration and environmental pollutants that could potentially lower the pH of the mat board over time, making it more acidic.

The manufacturing process of this museum board is environmentally conscious, excluding the use of post-consumer waste recycled pulp, metal particles, waxes, plasticizers, and residual bleach peroxide. The sulfur content is less than 0.0008% reducible sulfur, while the iron content does not exceed 150ppm and copper does not exceed 6ppm.

The color dyes used are light-fast and non-bleeding, ensuring the board maintains its bright white hue over time. This museum board passes the rigorous Photographic Activity Test (PAT) ISO IT 18916 (formerly ISO 14523 ANSI IT9.16), guaranteeing its suitability for photographic preservation.

The Archival Methods Museum Board is perfect for matting, mounting, and preserving fine prints, precious documents, and both traditional and digital photographs. For window mats and mat backing of small prints, a 2-Ply mat will create a 1/32" separation between your artwork and its glazing, providing a flat, supportive backing for both display and storage. This 2-ply board is also an excellent choice as a stiffener or support material in Polyethylene or Crystal Clear Bags.
