Archival Methods Museum Board 8x10 Antique White 2 Ply PKG 25

Be assured of the utmost protection and presentation for your valuable artwork and photographs with the Archival Methods Museum Board. This professional-grade, 8x10 Antique White 2 Ply board is a testament to durability and high-quality preservation, crafted exclusively from 100% cotton fiber pulp, ensuring a reliable and sturdy foundation for matting, mounting, and preserving fine prints, precious documents, and both traditional and digital photographs.

The Antique White shade of this museum board offers a subtle, yellow/ivory tone that enhances the visual appeal of your matted work without overpowering it. Its acid-free and lignin-free composition, coupled with alkaline sizing, guarantees that your artwork remains safeguarded against the detrimental effects of acid migration and environmental pollutants. This meticulous process helps maintain a stable pH level, preventing the board from becoming more acidic over time.

With a 2-3% alkaline reserve and a pH of 9 +/-0.5, the board is buffered with calcium carbonate for additional protection. The absence of optical brightening agents in the manufacturing process ensures that the board's color remains consistent and true to its natural state, while the light-fast and non-bleeding color dyes maintain their integrity under various lighting conditions.

The Archival Methods Museum Board is engineered to meet the highest archival standards, passing the rigorous Photographic Activity Test (PAT) according to ISO 14523 standards (formerly ANSI IT9.16). Its low lignin content, verified by TAPPI 236 cm-85 with a Kappa number of less than five, further attests to its archival quality.

Each 2-Ply sheet, measuring approximately 1/32" in thickness, is constructed without any post-consumer waste recycled pulp, metal particles, waxes, plasticizers, or residual bleach peroxide. The sulfur content is kept below 0.0008% reducible sulfur, while the iron and copper contents are strictly controlled to not exceed 150ppm and 6ppm, respectively.

For those seeking a professional and high-quality finish for their display and storage needs, the Archival Methods Museum Board is the reliable choice. Its 2-Ply construction provides a flat, supportive backing and a subtle separation between your artwork and its glazing, ensuring that your creations are showcased and preserved to the highest standard.
