Drytac's Artsafe 200 withstands 200 years without degradation

Press release from the issuing company

Richmond, VA, ? Drytac has developed Artsafe 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 Artsafe 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, Artsafe 200 can be reversed by careful use of Industrial Methylated Sprit (IMS).

Artsafe 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.
