After meticulous crafting, the Archival Methods Museum Board emerges as a superior choice for professionals seeking high-quality, durable, and archival-grade materials. This 16x20 Bright White 8 Ply Museum Board is constructed from 100% pure cotton fiber, ensuring a neutral-toned, sturdy, and professional-grade product.

Its acid-free and lignin-free nature, coupled with alkaline or neutral sizing, guarantees the longevity of your precious works. The board is further buffered with calcium carbonate, providing a robust shield against acid migration from matted work and environmental pollutants. This protection helps maintain the pH of the mat board, preventing it from becoming more acidic over time.

The Archival Methods Museum Board is free of optical brightening agents, reinforcing its commitment to preserving the originality of your artwork. With an 8-Ply / 120 Pt. thickness (approximately 1/8"), this museum board is not only sturdy but also provides a significant separation between your artwork and its glazing, ensuring optimal display and storage conditions.

The board's purity is unmatched, with no post-consumer waste recycled pulp, metal particles, waxes, plasticizers, or residual bleach peroxide. Its sulfur content is less than 0.0008% reducible sulfur, and the iron content does not exceed 150ppm, with copper not exceeding 6ppm.

The manufacturing process employs alkaline sizing for both internal and external sizing, with no alum used, ensuring the board's integrity and durability. The board's 2-3% alkaline reserve and pH 9 +/-0.5 further certify its acid-free status.

The Archival Methods Museum Board passes the rigorous PAT (Photographic Activity Test) ISO IT 18916 (formerly ISO 14523 ANSI IT9.16), ensuring it will not degrade or harm your mounted matted artwork over time. Its lignin content, tested by TAPPI 236 cm-85, has a Kappa number of less than five, further attesting to its archival quality.

Ideal for matting, mounting, and preserving fine prints, precious documents, traditional and digital photographs, this 8-Ply board offers a flat, supportive backing for both display and storage.
