- Bainbridge Acid-Free Foam Board features acid and lignin free paper liners and has micro-chamber technology designed to absorb and neutralize harmful gasses to protect artwork from impurities. Toothier surface paper provides a stronger grip for adhesive. Light weight and rigid with firm memory core.
- Conservation Board has an acid free chip board core and acid free surface paper. The board is double thick board.
- Pure Film Dry Mount Adhesive is a heat activated, 100% pure adhesive film that melts when heated and bonds as it cools. VERSAMOUNT remains re-activatable for easy removal or for utilizing a self-trimming technique. Because it is 100% pure adhesive, with no tissue or glassine core, small pieces can be overlapped, patched or pieced together without creating a telltale ridge. With its ability to flow under heat and pressure, VERSAMOUNT is ideally suited to mounting and textured artwork, filling in nooks, crannies and voids left empty by conventional dry mount tissues. This ensures an exceptionally strong bond on difficult to mount items.
