acid free mounting board
Acid free mounting board represents a premium archival-quality material specifically engineered for the preservation and display of valuable artwork, photographs, and documents. This specialized board is manufactured using chemically purified wood pulp or cotton fibers that have been treated to neutralize any acidic compounds, maintaining a pH level between 7 and 8.5. The board's construction features multiple layers of high-quality fibers that provide exceptional rigidity and dimensional stability, making it ideal for both professional framing and conservation purposes. The material undergoes rigorous quality control processes to ensure it meets international conservation standards, including passing the Photographic Activity Test (PAT). These boards are available in various thicknesses, typically ranging from 1mm to 4mm, and come in standard sizes suitable for most framing requirements. The surface texture can be smooth or slightly textured, offering versatility in presentation options while maintaining its protective properties. What sets acid free mounting board apart is its ability to prevent yellowing, embrittlement, and deterioration of mounted items, ensuring long-term preservation of valuable pieces without the risk of chemical damage that occurs with standard mounting materials.
