Drytacs Artsafe 200 withstands 200 years without degradation
Tuesday 20. July 2010 - Drytac has developed ArtsafeTM 200a mounting tissue that is a very high quality, buffered, acid-free, non-yellowing, stable and safe adhesive for giclee prints, posters, photo, fine art, prints and clippings.
Simulated age testing has shown ArtsafeTM 200 to withstand 200-year aging without degradation. Activation temperatures are very low for the safety of fragile items, with a standard working temperature at 70-75°C (160° F).
Even after aging, ArtsafeTM 200 can be reversed by careful use of Industrial Methylated Sprit (IMS).
ArtsafeTM 200 mounting tissue is supplied on a special “carrier release” paper, and can be used for both small and large prints. A single sided version (with adhesive on one side of the buffered tissue) is also available for use as a heat-set repair tissue.
