Be assured of the utmost quality and preservation for your artwork with the Archival Methods Museum Board. This premium 11x14 bright white board is meticulously crafted from 100% cotton fiber, ensuring a bright and neutral tone that enhances the visual appeal of your displayed images or artwork. The 8-ply, 120 Pt. (approximately 1/8") construction offers a robust and durable foundation, perfect for matting, mounting, and preserving fine prints, precious documents, and photographs, whether traditional or digital.

The Archival Methods Museum Board is designed with longevity in mind, being acid- and lignin-free, and incorporates alkaline or neutral sizing to prevent any degradation over time. The board is conscientiously buffered with calcium carbonate, providing a 2-3% alkaline reserve with a pH of 9 +/-0.5, which safeguards your matted work from the destructive effects of acid migration and environmental pollutants that could otherwise cause the pH of the mat board to decrease with age.

This board is a testament to purity and quality, as it is free from optical brightening agents, metal particles, waxes, plasticizers, and residual bleach peroxide. The sulfur content is kept under 0.0008% reducible sulfur, while the iron and copper contents are meticulously controlled to not exceed 150ppm and 6ppm, respectively. The use of alkaline sizing for both internal and external sizing, without the addition of alum, further ensures the archival quality of the board.

Each sheet of this museum-grade board is laminated using a natural starch adhesive, which contributes to its archival integrity. The board's lignin content is rigorously tested by TAPPI 236 cm-85 and maintains a Kappa number of less than five, signifying its superior archival standards. Furthermore, the board passes the Photographic Activity Test (PAT) according to ISO IT 18916 standards, confirming that it will not cause any harm to your mounted matted artwork over time.

Choose the Archival Methods Museum Board for a professional and refined presentation that not only enhances the visual impact of your work but also provides a flat, supportive backing for both display and storage. Its thick 8-Ply construction creates a 1/8" separation between your artwork and its glazing, offering additional protection and a distinguished aesthetic. Trust in the durability and archival quality of this board to maintain the integrity of your work for years to come.
