Laboratory studies show that all foam produces gases that can damage artwork. The same studies show that only Artcare™ Archival Foamboard neutralizes these gases and eliminates the danger. Other acid-free foamboards claim to be archival but in fact they offer no protection against the damaging effects of outgassing.

Artcare™ Archival Foamboard:
  •Protects artwork from harmful effects of foam outgassing
  •Protects against damaging pollutants from the environment
  •Acid-free and lignin-free surface papers
  •Surface papers buffered to maintain alkaline pH
  •Works optimally with Artcare™ Archival System
