Drytac has developed Artsafe 200—a 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.
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.
