�� Storage Document Cases

A word about paper conservation

A Few Simple StepsThe deterioration of paper is caused by many factors, perhaps the most significant of which are the kinds of materials and chemicals used in the paper making process. Wood pulp papers usually contain lignin and alum-rosin sizing which form damaging acids over a period of time. Under prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light and oxygen, paper fibres break down, causing discolouration and embrittlement. Additional damage may be caused by dust, dirt, mould, insects and rodents. You caninstitute sound basic conservation techniques by using some simple environmental controls and safe storage materials.

Keep Away From ExtremesAvoid excessive or fluctuating heat and humidity conditions. A cool, dark and dry storage area is ideal. A relative humidity of approximately 50% (see index for humidity measuring devices) with a temperature of 68˚ F (+/- 2.5 ) is desirable for most general collections. Normally, this would exclude most basements and attics. The area should be clean and free of insectsand rodents. If natural light or fluorescent light is necessary, an ultraviolet filtering material should be used, (see these and ourUV filtering fluorescent lamps in our Tools & Equipment section).

Choose the Right EnclosuresChoose proper storage containers for your documents, papers, books, maps, etc. A wide selection is available depending uponthe type of material to be stored and how often the material is used or accessed. Read through our catalogue to acquaint yourself with the many options available. All storage boxes, folders, etc. should be acid-free with an 8.5 pH where possible andhave a 3% calcium carbonate buffer added. In addition, all materials should be free of groundwood and lignin when possible.The storage container must be designed to provide physical support and stability while protecting your materials from adversechemical reactions. Boxes and folders should be comfortably filled, never stuffed. Each item must be supported, and metal staples and paper clips removed. Store only “like-sized” documents and papers together, and only in archival quality file folders,envelopes or archivally safe “see through” enclosures like Mylar® “D” or Melinex. These can then be stored in document casesor archival quality cartons. Avoid placing more than a dozen sheets together in one enclosure, and then use interleaving sheetsbetween each item. These interleaving sheets reduce the risk of the acids from one individual document affecting the adjacent ones. In fact, the 3% calcium carbonate buffered sheets will resist acid absorption from adjacent material. Maps,newspapers, books, pamphlets and other oversized materials should be interleaved and stored flat in appropriate containers.

Benefits of Metal Edge BoxesThe metal corners remove the need for adhesives which may dry out or off gas. Boxes can be stacked even when empty due tothe strength of the metal edge. Archives have been using them for over thirty years and are now seen as the best type of boxfor archival storage and handling.

Box sizes are internal measurements.

�� B. Tyvek Map & Banner SleevesTyvek is already used in a number of conservation storagemethods especially textiles and paper. This protective mater-ial has high tensile/tear strength in all directions because itsconstituent fibres are spun-bonded.

This is the reason why we have introduced these map and banner sleeves. Available in twowidths in 25 metre rolls, simply cut the sleeve to the lengthyou require.

�� Introducing archivalware® Preservers with Corrosion Intercept® TechnologyExtend life of your CDs 40+ years!

PEL is pleased to announce that new testing ofLucent Bell Labs’ Corrosion Intercept®Technology indicates substantial increases inCD longevity by storing them in archivalware®enclosures. Recent studies have shown CD life tobe extended from 40 to 120 years. Ozone andreactive oxygen cause the aluminum layer on theCD/DVD to break down. When aluminum in a thin film oxidizes it becomes clear and unable toreflect the laser pulse attempting to read the disc.archivalware® Corrosion Intercept® protectsagainst this failure. The permanent neutralization ofcorrosive gasses also prevents fungus and bacterialgrowth. The unique design of the archivalware® CDPreservers allow full visibility of the face of the CD/DVDwhile protecting the data side of the disc. The clear filmwhich is UV protected will not lift images from the faceof laser or inkjet produced labels. This unique and conve-nient storage system assures you the maximum protection current technology offers.

�� Storage Film

�� Polypropylene Movie Film CansStoring your films in rusting film cans may be one of the chief causes of their deterioration. These film cans of inertpolypropylene won’t rust or corrode like the original metalcans your films probably came in. Gap between the lid ofthe containers allows the exchange of acidic gasses (the by product of deterioration) which would otherwise build upinside the can and speed the breakdown of the film. Thesecans are flame retardant and contain less than 4% halogenwhich means that in the event of a fire there is virtually norelease of chlorine or bromine gas.

Helpful Hint… Plastic EnclosuresPlastic enclosures allow viewing of the image through the enclosure, reducing damage from handling and protecting it from moisture and sulphides in the air. Unfortunately, under certain conditions, plastic enclosures can trap moisture and cause sticking.Suggestion: Use archival quality plastic enclosures made of polyester, polypropylene, and polyethylene. All are chemically stable andhave a neutral pH. AVOID enclosures made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC). It is not chemically stable, and its plasticisers will causedeterioration of photographs over a period of time.

�� Envelopes Print & Negatives

Helpful HintPaper enclosures are opaque and block light. They are also porous and help prevent the accumulationof moisture and gases. However, viewing is more difficult since you must remove the item from theenclosure before you can see it. Handling can cause harmful fingerprinting and other damage.Suggestion: Use paper when items don’t require frequent viewing. Select non-acidic paper enclosuresthat are of archival quality. Use buffered storage enclosures for cellulose-nitrate and early safety-filmnegatives, brittle prints, and prints on brittle acidic mounts. Use non-buffered enclosures for colourimages, black and white prints, cyanotypes, or albumen prints.

�� Unbuffered Perma/Dur® Negative EnvelopesSturdy Perma/Dur® Unbuffered Negative Envelopes are ideal for storage of negatives and photographs. On the recommendation of several photographic archivists, we have changed the seam design and added a new style without a thumb cut. The new side seam construction allows even stacking and filing, and prevents marring of the negative or photo within due to too much weight or pressure. Manufactured from a 120gsm lignin-freeivory stock with a pH of approximately 7.0 and a high alpha cellulose content. Seams are fastened with a neutral pH adhesive. Passes P.A.T. Price per 100 envelopes.

We only use 100% archival polyester film inthe manufacturing of these glass clear acid free sleeves. The material is identical to our polyester pockets, the price is lowerbecause they are produced automatically, removing expensivelabour costs.

Another benefit of archival sleeves is the less likelihood of damaging the paper or photo when inserting into the sleeve.The natural cling of polyester helps to prevent the contentsfalling out.

Monarch Replacement Element

�� Crossweld™ Polyester Film Sealing MachinePreservation Equipment Ltd’s polyester sealing machines are recognised and trusted worldwide. After years of experience with the previous Crossweld we have now introduced the ultimate sealing machine. This new machine has been designed with health and safety approval, we no longer use a foot switch which could easily be activated by accidentally stepping on it (health and safetyliked that). The jaws previously slammed down by touching the foot switch and could cause nipping of fingers, this cannot happenwith this new machine. Not using jaws means you are not restricted by the jaw width and can continually weld very wide sheets, upto a maximum of 1400mm. The new style of operation allows much more room to work with the material you are sealing.

The working alignment grid squares can now be replaced when worn. The PTFE cloth protecting the welding element is simplyreplaced by winding new material into place from the roll attached to the machine, a real advantage for quality welds. We haveincreased the weld length to 700mm and you are no longer restricted to the width between the jaws as on the old machine. For widermaterial you can now continuously weld in any position from the edge to the centre, this is because the jaws are no longer used.

The heat compensating device uses the latest electronics to ensure constant welds every time. The Crossweld can be used for sealingvarious thicknesses of polyester film, it will weld polyester to paper and board also other materials such as Reemay, Hollytex, Tyvek,

PEL Softwrap and even bubble film can all be welded to make pockets and bags. We have made replacing the heating element so easy(not like the old machine), replacing the PTFE Cloth is even simpler. A floor mounting stand is available complete with adjustable feet.

Comes complete with instructions, spare element and PTFE cloth. Each machine is shipped in a wooden crate arriving ready for use.

The materialswill not affect the contents, the time capsule is water tight and will survive thousands of years into the unknown future. Papers may need to be de-acidified so they contain no acidand to stop deterioration (see solutions available in this catalogue). Separate each item with archival quality bags, rubber and some plastics will emit acidic vapours, so avoid them.Remove batteries from electrical devices. We also suggest you have your details engraved onto the time capsule.

�� Film ContainersThe Analog Media Preservation container was designed withthe best criteria sod preservation available, to answer the needsof the audio and film industry. The cans are vented, the gases produced by the degradation of the film base are evacuated andthe Vinegar Syndrome should not develop in them if the filmwas in a proper condition when put in.

Storing your films in rusting film cans may be one of the chiefcauses of their deterioration. These inert polypropylene filmcans won’t rust or corrode like the original metal cans your films probably came in. Small vents in these containers allow theexchange of acidic gasses (the by product of deterioration)which would otherwise build up inside the can and speed the breadown of the film. These cans are flame retardant and contain less than 4% halogen which means that in the event ofa fire there is virtually no release of chlorine or bromine gas. Forstorage of films on cores (not reels) only.

• Silver Grey colour• 100% prime polypropylene• Designed allowing ventilation• They cannot be water soaked• The cans are stackable, interlocking and they don’t open

only by dropping them• CD/DVD case in the lid as an option available for the

16mm/1200 ft container and the 16mm/2000ft only

Casing answering to the standards drawn by ANSI, AIN and SMPTE.

�� Microchamber® Mounting BoardMicrochamber museum mount boards with their patented molecular trap technology have been proven to significantly outperform all other mount boards in the protection of framed art.

These boards are available in 100% cotton rag manufactured exclusively by Nielsen & Bainbridge. The boards contain zeolites which are molecular traps which collect airborne acidic pollutant gases. These harmful gases are then neutralized by an alkaline buffer of calcium carbonate. Therefore, within the micro environment of a sealed frame mounted with Microchamberthe ageing of artwork is considerably retarded.

The boards are sulphur and lignin free, have a pH of 8.9 and pass the Photographic Activity Test. Microchamber® boards arethe only mount boards available that pass the ANSI IT 9.15 1992 for the blockage of acid/oxidising gasses.

Most paper manufacturers obtain their water from nearby rivers. Obviously, whatever foreign matter is contained in the water can wind up in their paper.The manufacturers water supply is from an artesian well that originates from a limestone water table 800 feet below the earth's surface. For the 60 yearsthey have tested their water, it has never varied in these astonishing characteristics: pH 7.2 - 7.6, no iron or copper traces, and a high concentration of calcium. Alum is never used in the manufacturing process.

As the namesuggests, we laminate two layers of our very best corrugated board together so the corrugation of each runs perpendicular to theother. The result is a light weight board of exceptional strength which resists bending, folding, or curling. This blue/grey board, withits 1/4” thickness, is exceptional for picture frame backing, but is equally effective as a sturdy display construction material. In fact, it excels in any application which requires a strong but lightweight acid-free material. A 3% calcium carbonatebuffer offers additional protection from atmospheric pollutants. Like both our single and double wall corrugated boards shownabove, this board is made of bleached cellulose fibres, and is acid-free and lignin-free. Sold in full cartons only. Price per carton.

�� Reservoir Brush (Water Brush)A Japanese innovation which is as revolutionary to the traditional calligraphy brush as the fountain pen was to the quill in Europe. Made from polyethylene, polypropylene and nylon, thereservoir brush enables the application of liquids without the necessity of continually refreshingthe tip through dipping. This ensures a more even distribution than normal brushes allow over a larger area, thus making it ideal for many brush-based conservation treatments where consistency is a requirement. The reservoir brush may be used for a number of applications,from wet-tearing (without the abrasive scratching usually associated with stylus pens) to thelocalised application of solvents*, deacidification agents and detergents. The Reservoir Brushhas been used to good effect with vacuum treatments on the PEL Cold Suction Table and SmallSuction Platens. Price each. * Not suitable for use with Alkenes, Alkanes or Ketones.

�� Silicone (Non-Absorbent) BrushesThe unique silicone tipped brush prevents adhesives, paint, glazes, wax and plaster from sticking to the brush. Ideal for mixing, spreading, modelling, carving or making small adjustmentswithout the particle/fragment coming away on the end of the brush. No doubt conservators willfind many other uses such as separating small specimens and much more. If any material drieson the tip it can simply be peeled away. Will work with tough adhesives, even dry contact cementpeels off. Works like a spatula, use them to apply and spread even fine layers of paint, leatherdressing, or adhesives, evenly blend pastel, charcoal and soft graphite. Available in ivory soft (S),grey firm (F), various shapes and sizes. To find out which silicone brush suits your intended applicationwe have included sample wallet sets. This will allow you to test the firmness and shape.

�� CubelitePEL has been requested to supply the Cubelite for the cataloguing of works of art and photography during conservation. This systemwill allow you to take professional looking subject shots time after time with no unsightly shadows or reflections.

By placing the item to be photographed inside the Cubelite many of the typical lighting difficulties experienced by non professional photographs are automatically taken care of. The operation of the Cubelite is simple. It works with a constant light source and therefore requires no additional “flash” from the camera. This makes composing the shot very easy because what you see is what youactually get. The Cubelite also comes with a removal front panel. This can be attached if the subject matter is highly reflective such as glass. The subject is completely isolated from the surroundings with only a small zip opening for the camera lens. This ensures photographs with no unsightly reflections.

� The 2ft and 3ft kits include: 1 x Cubelite, 1 x Stand, 1 x Tungsten Light, 1 x 500w Bulb, 1 x Silver/White Reflector,1 x White Vinyl Background Sheet, 1 x Carry Case,

� The 4ft kits include the same as the 2ft and 3ft plus a roll of white background paper.� The 5ft & 6ft 6" kits include: 1 x Cubelite, 4 x Stands, 4 x Tungsten Lights, 4 x 500w Bulbs, 1 x Roll of White Background Paper,

The removable back and base on the 3ft kit allows you to photograph a section of a much larger product that will not fit insidethe Cubelite such as long subjects. The removable back also allows you to photograph fragments and retain the original background, useful for archaeological digs.

Cubelite Light TableThe Light Table folds flat for easy storage when not in use and can be assembled in a matter of minutes. It is supplied with an additional tungsten light which is placed inside the table and can be positioned facing upwards or downwards to achieve a differentintensity and distribution of light. When the Light Table is assembled simply place the Cubelite Kit on top of it, remembering to swapthe opaque white vinyl background sheet for the translucent film supplied with the Light Table Kit. The system is now ready to use.

Available for 2ft and 3ft cubelite kits.

�� Polyester Sealing MachinesOur professional experience of polyester film sealingmachines for conservation is recognised and trustedworldwide. Conservators work and choose carefullywhich is why they trust and purchase the PreservationEquipment machines. Cut sheets and rolls for use insealing machines, see Polyester Film section for ourmany sizes of polyester film.

�� WarningThe success of the Crossweld™ has attracted competitorsto offer bag and flat tube machines with bottom element. Wesuggest these machines, designed for sealing low melt pointpolyethylene, are not suitable as a crossweld machine. Toavoid disappointment, talk with customers who have pur-chased the Crossweld™, they will tell you how superior ourmachines are, that’s why we make this statement.

The Crossweld™ is designed especially to suit the weldingof polyester film, which requires a flat support surface bothsides of the weld. The sealing of polyester filmrequiresmachines that have been manufactured for the precisewelding of the very narrow band melt point of polyester film,if it’s too high it will melt through the film too low and it willnot seal. The welding element must be fitted to the top mov-ing jaw, not on the base/bottom as with bag sealers, this isessential for lining up the weld and sealing polyester to board

�� Crossweld™ Polyester Film Sealing MachinePreservation Equipment Ltd’s polyester sealing machines are recognised and trusted worldwide. After years of experience with the previous Crossweld we have now introducedthe ultimate sealing machine. This new machine has been designed with health and safetyapproval, we no longer use a foot switch which could easily be activated by accidentallystepping on it (health and safety liked that). The jaws previously slammed down by touchingthe foot switch and could cause nipping of fingers, this cannot happen with this newmachine. Not using jaws means you are not restricted by the jaw width and can continual-ly weld very wide sheets, up to a maximum of 1400mm. The new style of operation allowsmuch more room to work with the material you are sealing.

The working alignment grid squares can now be replaced when worn. The PTFE cloth protecting the welding element is simply replaced by winding new material into place fromthe roll attached to the machine, a real advantage for quality welds.

We have increased the weld length to 700mm and you are no longer restricted to the widthbetween the jaws as on the old machine. For wider material you can now continuously weldin any position from the edge to the centre, this is because the jaws are no longer used.

The heat compensating device uses the latest electronics to ensure constant welds everytime. The Crossweld can be used for sealing various thicknesses of polyester film, it willweld polyester to paper and board also other materials such as Reemay, Hollytex, Tyvek,

PEL Softwrap and even bubble film can all be welded to make pockets and bags. We havemade replacing the heating element so easy (not like the old machine), replacing the PTFECloth is even simpler. A floor mounting stand is available complete with adjustable feet.

Comes complete with instructions, spare element and PTFE cloth.

Each machine is shipped in a wooden crate arriving ready for use.

�� Low Melt Glue GunWe have selected this system because the low melt adhesivegives an instant bonding at a much lower temperature. Thismakes it easier and safer to use. More significantly it meansyou can bond heat sensitive substrates, such as Plastazote,even polystyrene foams, fabrics, films, corrugated board andother delicate materials without heat damage. This revolution-ary new hot melt glue gun operates at a lower temperaturethan conventional glue guns. Nearly 70°C lower! It is evenpossible to stick decoration pieces onto inflated balloons without heat damage. After initial warm up, the glue melts ondemand as trigger pressure is exerted. Just apply low meltglue to one surface, then press parts together for instantbonding. Conforms to very high safety standards, it operatesusing a PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) heater thatregulates its own temperature electronically. The heater willoperate on any voltage from 100-240 voltage and provides afast warm-up time of only 5-7 minutes.

�� Vacuum Pick-Up SystemThis system is designed for various conservation practices, will pick up small fragments of wood,metal, gem stones, ceramics, paper and paint flakes. One feature is you do not have to holdyour finger over a small hole (as with other systems) to create a vacuum. This is better for conservators to manipulate fragments into awkward positions, then simply press the button torelease the fragment. The PTFE rigid cups will prevent pieces with wet adhesives sticking tothe vacuum cup when you wish to release the fragment such as paint flakes.

The vacuum pump is very small, quiet in operation and lightweight and consumes only 5W ofpower. An internal filter on the inlet ensures that no particles can enter the pump mechanismand an outlet filter ensures that no particles created by the pump are released into the surrounding air. This makes the pump suitable for class 1 clean rooms. Vacuum pressure issufficient to lift 150 grams weight and is adjustable from maximum to very soft pressure. Spareinlet filters are also available.

This high quality wand is manufactured in PTFE, a fluoropolymer resin with exceptional resis-tance to high temperatures, chemicals and corrosion. This allows a high level of cleanliness tobe maintained. The unique wand control valve ensures reliable suction and instantaneousrelease. Vacuum is continuosly drawn until the button is pressed (press to release). Suctioncups are easily changed without dismantling the wand itself. Silicone suction cups are includedin diameters 5,8,11 & 15mm. An optional set of rigid PTFE suction cups in the same diametersis also available.

�� Tyvek BagsTyvek has proven to be a suitable material for many conservation and preservation requirements. This protective material hashigh tensile/tear strength in all directions because its constituent fibres are spun-bonded. The relatively slick surface is a furtherbarrier and prevents snagging with fragile specimens. Used as geological bags and archaeological bags because they can beused outside since the wet will not effect them.

�� A. Preservation Pencil®The Preservation Pencil was first available in 1989 andsince that time hundreds have been supplied all over theworld. The product has proved to be one of the most successful conservation tools.

It provides fine delicate jets of moisture (or dry) air fromambient to 100ºC and is used for removing glue, resins, oldlabels, separating paper layers, activating adhesives andenzymes, relaxing and cleaning. Cold moisture produced by the humidifier is heated by the PENCIL to a desired predetermined temp, which remains at a constant level.

Conservators continually find new uses for the product andquote “How could we manage without it”. The way thePreservation Pencil works is cold mist produced by theUltrasonic Humidifier is heated by dialling into the controlunit the desired temperature, which then remains at a constant precise level with a digital display of the actual temperature. Adjustment is made by dialling the selectedtemperature, the control unit will then automatically adjustthe Pencil and display the actual temperature. The range is from ambient to 100ºC, users find the lower temperaturesvery useful especially for cleaning with enzymes. The dry airfacility is especially useful for low temperatures adhesivessuch as Beva 371 used in oil painting conservation.

Features over alternative steam units:• Temperatures below steam, Dry air facility,

Adjustable moisture levels, • Ambient to 100ºC temperature range,

No scalding boiling water,• Instantaneous (no start up time), Selection of

�� PEL-Humidity DomeThe PEL-Humidity Dome is designed to exactly fit our PEL Cold Suction Table (Low Budget) alternatively, it will fit over a large suction table. On a large table the perforated area should beblanked off to ensure the suction is only drawn inside the dome. It can also be used withoutsuction on a workbench.

The dome has a hole to take the humidity hose and a smaller one to insert a humidity sensor(see 0107-4500) humidity Controller). The large damper regulates the build up of negative vacuum pressure inside the dome and prevents excessive external pressure on the dome. Wesuggest our Ultrasonic Humidifier Kit (see page 138) is used for moist air, which gives a veryeven movement of mist within the dome, allowing relaxation to be controlled and even.

Made from clear 6mm acrylic with a base size of 795mm x 595mm x 330mm high.

�� Mastercast Leafcasting MachineThis new leaf casting machine has been developed by PEL after years of experience in designing and marketing leaf casting andpaper infill machines for paper conservators. It incorporates a number of new design features, which when combined with itslarge casting area offer the conservators much more than any other leaf casting machine.

The PEL caster trials have already proved a superior quality of paper infill. The way it works is the machine consists of a castingtank and holding tank. Water is pumped into the casting tank first from the holding tank, housed below the casting area. Pulp isthen mixed with the water in the casting tank containing the paper to be infilled. During the casting process, the pulp is removedfrom the water through the openings of the document being repaired and is held in place by a filter mesh placed below the dam-aged paper.

Normally available from stock due to the fact they are manufactured in a quantity to enable us to offer this high specificationmachine at such a low price. Other suppliers have them made to order, are more expensive, and have long delivery times. Comescomplete with operating manual, please note that to operate this machine requires some experience of paper infill and leaf casting knowledge is recommended.

Pictures show work before paper infill repair and the finished quality.

�� Paper Pulp for Leaf Casting & Paper InfillPEL have researched together with a well known private handmade paper mill, paper pulp touse in paper infill and leaf casting. This carefully designed, archival quality range of dry pulpboards is available in four colours and is ideal for our leaf casting machines.

The boards are produced from a blend of beaten hemp and cotton fibres. Using a liquidiser (seeproduct 805-3900, our Pulp Blender) the boards are easily made into paper pulp by simplyadding to water. The paper pulp boards are already buffered with magnesium carbonate to givea pH in the range 7.5 to 8.3 and contain CMC in the correct papermaking proportions.

Unlike beaten pulp supplied in a wet form, which must be used quickly because it does notkeep, these boards are stored without worry of deterioration and are ready to use straight fromthe pack. Virgin pulp or unbeaten pulp in the form of linters is not easy to prepare and frequentlydoes not give the desired result, this pulp has already been beaten and is much simpler to use.

The boards are available in four colours, soft white, soft yellow, grey and soft brown. The different colours can be mixed to allow the matching shade on paper infill without the use ofdye additives.

To allow you to establish which colour suits your requirements we can provide a sample packof at least two boards of each colour, product code 682-0008.

Please note 1 kg is approximately 10 boards may be 9 or 11 since the weight of a board varies.

�� PEL Anoxia Disinfestation System

�� Anoxia Disinfestation SystemPEL with EXPM offer anoxia disinfestation chamber for pestcontrol in works of art in archives, museums and libraries.The EXPM anoxia treatment system has been used to eradicatepest infestation in books, documents, artefacts and othermaterials since 1997.

The chamber is rectangular with a volume of six cubicmetres, manufactured from stainless steel, the structure isreinforced with carbon steel sections. The hinged door allowsfull access, there is a small ramp for wheeling in the shelvedtrolleys containing items for disinfestation.

The anoxia chamber eliminates insects no matter what theirstage of development, using an ecological, non-toxic process.The process does not employ toxic or chemically aggressiveproducts or high temperatures. Therefore, no damage or accu-mulation of substances in the treated material, allowing themto be handled immediately following treatment.

Display readings from within the chamber provide up-to-dateinformation on the major parameters of the workings of thesystem. Temperature, relative humidity and pressure sensorsare located inside the chamber, the oxygen content controlsystem comprises a small circulating pump that feeds the oxygen analyser. The readings of these parameters are transmitted to a small central computer which receivesand analyses them, controlling the working of a system of electromagnetic valves that in turn control the pneumaticvalves of the control and safety systems.

The objects remain in the chamber from 3 to 4 weeks tocomplete the treatment. During the treatment period theparameters are set to achieve insect eradication withoutresidues or interference of the artefacts.

The holding trolley kit is availing for inserting stacked itemssuch as books, the kit contains 4 holding trolleys and makesremoval simple and easy.

For health and safety we strongly recommend lack of oxygendetection equipment.

�� Thermocutterwith Control Station. This model

is designed for constant use with fine adjustment control. The cutting hand tool is much

lighter weight and does not become hot. If you continuously use the Thermocutterthen this model should be the one tochoose. Extra safety features include low voltage output.

�� 020-PZTS-20The Thermocutter with electrically heated blade

is designed for cutting Plastazote® Ethafoam® and Polystyrene. It will also cut other types of foam and

plastic materials easily and effortlessly. This tool will make professional display supports, shipping cavity trays and storage

protection that fits artifacts and specimens. Its slim handle with spring-loaded on-off switch allows precise cutting in areas of limited

access. Operating temperature is adjustable by a small fingertip control adjusting the blade to heat instantly to the correct working temperature and speed of cut. It can cut

through foam (like butter) up to 5" (130mm) thick. To change blades simply loosen two thumb screws andinsert another blade. A variety of blades are available for specific tasks and shaping of foam.

A variety of blades are available for specific tasks and shaping of foam. Blades are easily fitted by simply loosening two thumb screws. Deciding on which type of blade to choose depends on the shape of cut and the material being used. For example, the PDT50 allows vertical cuts and the larger plate guides the blade in a straight line. PT015/06 is good for a chopping action, or cutting small pieces of foam. The PT2 bladeshave a cutting edge on both sides, allowing cutting back and forth. You should choose the length of blade to suit the thickness of foam, this will prevent overheating on continuous work. The PT150 wire blade (bestselling blade) can be shaped to the contour of a particular shape.

�� Pocket MicroscopeThe majority of conventional fountain pen type simplified microscopes lack optical precision andbecause of their dark images are not practical. Our company has continued research and devel-opment for a small size, high performance and durable microscope that could be easily carriedin the pocket for use at all times. The outstanding features of this Pocket Microscope are verysharp resolving power throughout its field of view, unbelievably bright and light in weight.

To focus the microscope, hold it so that the notch at the tip of the acryl cylinder of the microscope will face towards you, place the center of the object lens right above the specimenand, while tilting the cylinder forward and backward with your eye on the eye-piece lens, fix thecylinder and observe at an angle which can give the sharpest image.

This pocket microscope has completely changed the concept of pocket microscopes which werepreviously more or less regarded as toys. It is a practical and convenient pocket microscope forthe professional in paper and textiles with amazing results. Conservators find the microscopeideal for looking at fibres. The 25x and 50x unit weight is only 12 grams, the 100x weighs 16grams, 12.4mm diameter, 127mm long.

�� Environmental Monitor(RH Temp UV & LUX). This single instrument measures humidity (RH) Temperature (ºC, ºF) Ultra Violet (UV)and Visible Light (LUX).

The appropriate button is pushed depending on the measurement required and the reading taken. The metreautomatically turns off 10 seconds after the last reading unless a button is held down for over 5 seconds, thisallows continuous monitoring until another button is pressed. The large 8 line display enables an easyto use menu system to select the more advanced functions. Data Logging functions enable over10,000 readings of all four parameters to be automatically taken at selectable intervals (every10 seconds to 1 hour). The saved data can be transferred to a computer by a wireless infa-red link (IRDA compatible). Modern computers have infa-red interface built in, for those thatdo not adapters are available.

Software is provided to save the logged data in a CSV format that can be accessedand displayed by many applications (e.g. Microsoft Excel). Maximum and minimumvalues and their time measurement are displayed for each parameter. A calibrationkit is available for user calibration of the RH sensor using saturated salt solutions.

It is recognised that a major cause of damage to museum works of art can be light, with the most damaging being the UV content. To enable curators and conservators to monitor these levelswe offer a proven range of instruments. These meters measure proportion of UV present (µW/Lumen), the total amount of UV (µW/M2) and the amount of visible light present (Lux). The amountof UV should be as little as possible and in general should not exceed 20µW/M2 or 75µW/ Lumen. Normal museum light levels should be limited to 150-250 Lux. Once measurements have beenobserved action can be taken, light levels altered, if necessary UV filters fitted to display cases, windows and fluorescent tubes.

�� A. WallprotectWallprotect accurately records moisture content in concealed areas/materials. It is commonlyused to confirm the drying out of buildings and materials saving insurance companies time aftera flood/leak. Can be used on solid floors.

Ideal for use with:

Internal brickwork, block work, timber, plasterwork, concrete floors and cavities/dry lining. In factany concealed where dampness could be a problem

We have set wall protect at 75% RH, if after 24 hours following installation it has not reactedthe wall/material is dry and redecoration can take place. It can also be combined with dampprotect, both easy to read and install.

The humidity state of a material can be expressed in many different ways including:

� Moisture content (kg/m3)� Moisture ratio (kg water/kg material) usually expressed as %� Relative humidity (%)� Water activity (a number between 0 and 1.0)

However they are all related and if you know the material characteristics you can always convert from one unit to another.

We are commonly asked what is the actual moisture ratio? Which is quite common in the building trade. In almost all imaginable situations relative humidity is what is actually relevant.For example mould requires the relative humidity to be above a certain value (generally 75%)to grow. We have successfully verified the functionality of 75% RH wall-protect sensors for measurements in three different materials (wood, brick and porous concrete) all having a humidity content corresponding to 78% RH. According to reference literature 75% RH corresponds to approx. 17% moisture ratio for wood and approx. 7 kg/m3 for brick.

�� B. Dry Rot SensorsEarly recognition of active dry rot. The sensor allows you to tell if dry rot is present at its earlieststages in timber or masonry, giving early warning that action is required to prevent further damage.

They are simple to install by drilling a 7mm diameter hole to a depth of 100mm in the “at risk” tim-ber or masonry. The sensor changes colour from blue to yellow in the presence of incipient dry rot.

It works with a blue dye that is vacuum impregnated into the wooden dowel of the sensor that reactsto the chemical that dry rot produces oxalic acid at very low levels, turning the dye to yellow.

During the biological decomposition of wood by destructive fungi including the dry rot fungus serpula lacrymans to which the sensor reacts giving the indication that dry rot exists.

�� D. DampprotectDetects Damp and Condensation Problems.

There are many ways to get an on the spot account of the relative atmospheric humidity howeverthere are few ways of easily measuring the RH over a period of time i.e. how long something hasbeen exposed to humidity above a certain level.

Dampprotect sensors are based on a physical chemical principle and show how long the RH hasexceeded a pre-determined level. The reading on the indicator is non-reversible. This means thateven if the relative humidity temporarily falls below the humidity level the maximum humidity reading remains unchanged.

With the help of Dampprotect it is possible to detect humidity and moisture problems before theycause any damage. The indicators provide early warning signals enabling the problem to be tackled at source as soon as it is discovered.

�� C. ArtprotectAccurately detecting changes over 58% relative humidity. Artprotect Detectors are based on apatented method to detect humidity. The indicator strip turns blue if moisture levels exceed 58% RHfor at least 6 hours. Hydroscopic materials are of organic origin with fibrous or cellular structuresuch as paper, parchment, papyrus, fabrics, leather, natural adhesives and pigments all of whichare at great risk from changes in relative humidity.

High humidity over 58% encourages mould growth on any natural material that provides a nutriment and also accelerates acid deterioration. The indication is irreversible and shows accumu-lative exposure to changes in humidity showing the period of time that has exceeded 58% RH. Idealfor shipping on loan works of art, uncontrolled environments, storage areas, display cases etc.

Simply remove the backing sheet from the paper label with the detector attached.Write the appropriate date, sign and stick (the label and the detector) to the back of a picture or

in close proximity to the artefact. The adhesive is low tack and will not permanently stick to the artefact and can easily be removed.

The way it works is when the detector is exposed to changes in relative humidity that exceeds 58% for longer than 6 hours, the detector turns blue. The colour will not disappear but continuechanging as the relative humidity changes. Supplied in packs of 6 detectors complete with fullinstructions. The sensors are calibrated at 23ºC and 69% RH and have an accuracy of ± 3% RH.

�� Iron Gall Ink Test PaperThis test paper has been developed by the Conservation Research Department at theNetherlands Institute for Cultural Heritage/Instituut Collectie Nederland (ICN), in the context of theirextensive research into iron gall ink corrosion. Preservation Equipment Ltd is proud to be askedto exclusively market the test paper on behalf of the ICN.

This non-bleeding iron test paper has been developed as a simple and quick method to detectiron (II) ions in hydrophylic substrates. These ions are harmful to organic substrates, such as paper, because they catalyse the oxidative degradation of cellulose and other organic materials. The test paper is non-bleeding, therefore it can be applied to originals. The test paperhas been extensively tested in paper conservation. In general a positive reaction of the iron (II) testis a distinct identification of the presence of an iron-gall ink. However, it has to be realised thatother inks and colourants, e.g. bistre, may be iron based or contaminated with iron.

Iron (II) ions are water soluble and will migrate into a dampened test paper in contact with the ink.The indicator (bathophenanthroline) forms an intensely red-coloured complex with irons (ii) ions.

Instructions are provided with the test papers. Further information can be obtained by contacting: Netherlands Institute for Cultural Heritage, Conservation Research Department,Dr. Han Neevel or Ms Birgit Reissland, PO Box 76709, 1070KA Amsterdam, The Netherlands.Tel: +31 20 305 4771, Fax: +31 20 305 4700Email: [email protected] or [email protected] The ink corrosion website: www.knaw.nl/ecpa/ink

�� pH Indicator StripsNon-bleeding pH indicator strips areeasy to use. For surface pH on paperand textiles, use deionised water. Incontrast to conventional indicatorpapers, the indicator dyes of the pHstrips are chemically bonded to

cellulose fibres. As a result, the possibility of colour bleeding, even in strongly basic solutions, is avoided. Measurement of pH values is possible even in unbuffered or very weaklybuffered solutions, since the strips can be left in the solution until the final colour change is completed. Colours of the individual colour fields cannot run into each other. This allows a more precise comparison with the colour scale, the special dyes guarantee a sharp differentiation betweenthe individual pH values. Price per box of 100 strips

�� Lineco’s pH Testing PenWith a simple swipe of Lineco's pH Testing Pen, you can determine whether the paper andboard you are using is acidic. This easy, convenient method allows you to distinguish the difference between safe (neutral or alkaline) paper and board and acidic materials. Easy to use;simply draw a small line on the material you wish to test. The Chlorophenol red indicator solution in the pen will turn purple on any paper with a pH of 6.8 and above. A clear or yellowcolour indicates the material is probably unsuitable for conservation purposes.

Paper can be respectably long-lived if its pH is as low as 6.0, especially if it is well made and carefully used and stored. In order to last for centuries in today's polluted air, it must have an alkaline reserve and this usually means a pH of 7.0 or greater.

Pelsorb is a moisture sensitive silica gel capable of both absorbing and desorbing moisture, making it ideal for stabilizing relative humidty within an enclosed space(Such as museum display cases or storage cabinets).

Pelsorb can be used to maintain a 45 - 55 % RH (Relative Humidity) level and can operate effectively for 5 years or more.

Pelsorb is available in beads and as sachets of beads which should be placed around the perimeter of the case, or in a drawer. Use 1 sachet or 500g of beads per cubicmetre (multiply cubic feet by 0.02832 to get cubic metres).

Pelsorb is shipped in aluminium containers that are both moisture and airtight toensure it arrives in perfect condition for use.

Pelsorb is a suitable alternative to ArtSorb.

�� Art-Sorb®Art-Sorb is a moisture-sensitive silica material which adsorbs and desorbs moisture in order to offset changes in external relative humidity. It provides over 5 times the moisture buffering capacity of regular density silica gel, and is even more efficient at higher relative humidities.

Art-Sorb is available in two versions, each preconditioned at 50% R.H.

Sheet Type: A non-woven sheet of archival polyethylene/polypropylene fibres is impregnated with fine particles of Art-Sorb. It can be used to line the sides, bottom or top of a display case, or placed in a frame. Sheets can be cut to size. About 5-10sheets should be used for each cubic metre.

Cassettes: Art-Sorb beads are encased in a convenient, non-woven polyethylene/polypropylene package that is supported by a fibre cassette. One cassette is sufficient for humidity control of one cubic metre of space.

�� Respiratory Protection

�� Selection CriteriaThe five forms of Hazard that are likely to be encountered in the workplace are:

Dusts formed by the breaking down of solid materials, In general the smaller the dust particle the greater the hazardthat it presents. Fibres of material should also be treated as dusts.

Mists formed by processes that involve atomisation (such as spraying) and consist of tiny liquid droplets.

Fumes formed by the vapourisation of a solid material by the application of extreme heat. Extremely fine particles arecreated as the vapour cools and condenses.

Vapours - A gaseous state formed by the evaporation from substances that are normally either solid or liquid at room temperature. A fume may form as vapour condenses.

Gases - An air-like substance at room temperature. Gases can travel far, very quickly.

With nearly 50,000 fibresper square inch, Dust Bunny™ generates an electrostatic,“magnetic” effect which causes surface particles to adhere to the fabric as it is used. Renew your Dust Bunny™ bywashing by hand or machine using mild detergent and dryingat less than 140°F. It is a super absorber of oils and greaseand can be used safely with solvents, yet will not absorbwater. Dimensions: approx. 17" x 17". Price each/pack of 10.

�� PEL Conservators Sponge™The closed-cell structure is hydrophilic and can be used for various conservation procedures such as:

• Wet repairs to remove residual water, as the repair tissue does not attach to the sponge. • Small disasters - takes in a large amount of water rapidly. • Painting Conservators are using the sponge with solvents to clean and remove varnish. • In leafcasting to remove excess water without lifting off the pulp repair. • Can also be used in conjunction with draft cleaning powder. • No doubt conservators will find other uses for the Conservators Sponge TM.

The sponge can be shaped to suit special needs by allowing it to dry out. It then becomes hard and can be cut to thedesired shape with a sharp knife. Simply immerse in water for a few minutes, it then becomes soft and is ready to useagain. During our research with conservators we supplied a small sample size, however, many commented that thesample was such a handy size we have included it in the range.

�� PEL Cloth™

�� PEL Cloth™MicroFibre Cleaning without chemicals (just use water). Until recently it has not been possible to clean surfaces without the useof chemicals. Technology has changed this, with the PEL-Cloth you can clean either with or without water. Excellent results areachieved on all surfaces, without the need for cleaning agents and chemicals, and you protect yourself and the environment.

The secret is in the fibresPEL-Cloths are manufactured from tiny ultra micro fibres. These micro fibres have such a good, natural cleaning action compared to normal fibres - breaking down, trapping and absorbing dirt particles so well, that only water is necessary as a solvent. Our cloths are made from polyester/polyamide ultra micro fibres, which contain no chemicals and give such a goodcleaning effect that only water is needed as a solvent. The fibre mix gives the cloth enormous absorption. When used damp,the cloths clean all surfaces, especially glass, plastics, stainless steel, chrome, brass and wood. When used dry the cloths havea natural “positive” charge which attracts “negative” dust. If correctly maintained, in normal use, our products will last for several years and pay for themselves many times over.

�� How to use your PEL-Cloth MicroFibre Cleaning System. It is important to follow these instructions.

Using the PEL-Cloth… DRYThe static effect when using the cloth dry gives it an extremely good accumulation ability for dust and micro particles. Drag thecloth lightly over the surface to be cleaned and the particles will stick to the cloth. Do not rub hard on plexi glass. Dirt in the clothcould stratch the surface.

Using the PEL-Cloth… DAMPWet thoroughly with pure water only, (no soap) completely wring out and fold, then wipe impurities from all dirty surfaces suchas glass, mirrors, aluminium, stainless steel, plastics, treated and untreated woods, tiles, brass etc.

Using the PEL-Cloth… WETWet thoroughly with pure water only, (no soap) completely wring out and fold, then use as you would a wet sponge.

Maintenance of the PEL-ClothFor the cloth to perform correctly, it is necessary to keep the cloth clean with regular washing. The cloth should be hot washedat 95ºC. It can be machine washed at least 300 times. For small quantities you may choose to boil the cloths in a saucepan for15 minutes. Use 1/3 of the normal dose of ordinary washing powder. Always wash the cloths separately from other items toavoid adding fluff to the cloth.

N.B. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. The fabric softener removes the static effect for dry use and bleach breaks down themicro fibres. Either tumble dry or hang dry. If too much washing powder is used, the fibres become blocked and the performanceof the cloth is reduced. Wash the cloth a few times without any washing powder to remove excess soap.

�� Akapad®PEL is the UK appointed distributor for Akachemie Products. This dry cleaning system hasproven its reliability for over 20 years by conservators who use Wishab for a number of specific cleaning problems. Akapad is available as a dry sponge in powder-form and as a spray powder. The usage depends on the type and sensitivity of the artwork being cleaned.

Akapad Sponge is used to carry out convenient and safe dry cleaning of surfaces on paper, walls,ceilings, pictures, frescos, mural paintings, wallpaper, tapestries, textiles and other surfaces. Thesponge consists of a blue handle with the yellow cleaning layer moulded into it, this layerrestores itself constantly due to the crumb formation process. The soft sponge is used for sensitive surfaces, the hard sponge for less sensitive base surfaces and the extra hard spongefor non-sensitive surfaces such as stone. The surfaces to be cleaned must be absolutely dry.

Akapad Powder has been specially developed for dry cleaning of paper documents, it can alsobe used on other items. Simply spread the powder over the surface of the object to be cleaned. Rub the powder over the surface by hand using cotton wool or wearing our cotton gloves. Fortougher applications the powder can be used with soft felt disks on rotating tools. Caution mustprevail with any cleaning method and we advise this is done by a professional conservator.Akapad soft powder is used for sensitive surfaces such as paper and textiles, the hard powderfor less sensitive surfaces such as sturdy heavy papers, wood etc. The surfaces to be cleanedmust be absolutely dry and not powdery.

Akapad Spray Powder is a special development for dry cleaning using the spraying method. Thespray powder method is used to penetrate in depressions and hollow spaces where access isdifficult, such as masonry (Sandstone), sculptures or objects that have extremely rough surfaces. When using the spray method, the correct adjustment of the air pressure is veryimportant, however the air pressure is easy to determine by conducting trials. Recovery of thesprayed-on material is possible since the powder can be used several times (10 times ormore). Akapad spray powder is coarse, (particle size approximately 0.5-1.5mm) the sprayerpiping and nozzle must have large diameters. Nozzle size 5-10mm diameter with air volume of1000 litres/minute, working pressure of 5-10 bar with a distance of about 0.5-1 metre.

�� Conservation Supplies

�� Carbon ClothDeveloped in conjunction with conservators andPreservation Equipment Ltd, UK, this unique breathableactivated carbon cloth offers the best practical protection for artefacts and artworks against damagingatmospheric pollution. As well as offering protection forsingle material items such as coins, PEL's activated carbon cloth also offers protection for all artefacts andartworks - effectively neutralising acids, bases, volatileorganics, decomposition products, odours etc.

Activated Carbon Cloth is composed of 100% activatedcarbon presented in a textile form and as such, can becut, sewn and bonded to other materials to allow itsintegration within display and storage systems. ActivatedCarbon Cloth will absorb vapours, including odours andcertain inorganic molecules in the atmosphere. Thesepollutants are attributed to a combined problem of air pollution in the environment and emissions of conta-minants from both display and storage materials and theobjects themselves.

Activated Carbon Cloth is most commonly used in preventive conservation to retard the corrosion of metals by absorbing contaminants such as acetic acids. It can also be used to remove odours from deteriorating organic objects and to retard thedeterioration of books, paper, drawings and sketches. In addition to the absorption of potentially harmful contaminants, ActivatedCarbon Cloth will also absorb water vapour and therfore can reduce humidity in a similar way to other desiccants such as silicagel. At the same time, overall performance will not be affected by high humidity.

The cloth is manufactured in a 1525mm (approximately 60 inches) wide roll and can be readily cut to fit into storage and display systems. Create bags for storage of one or more items, or line backboards of paintings, drawers and textiles. Also anideal drawer, box or shipping crate liner. Activated Carbon Cloth is cut to each customer's specific length requirement. Pricing isper linear metre.

�� Helpful HintWhat You Should Know…Disasters can result from an act of nature or an act of man. To effectively cope with such disasters, collections should be surveyed, inventoried andreviewed by appropriate staff. Staff should have adequate equipment and supplies on hand to handle the collection during an emergency, and the know-how to use it. Finally, emergency handlingguidelines should be discussed in expectation of a disaster, procedures written, and copies provided to key staff members both on and off the premises.

Put aside a supply of emergency supplies. They should include flashlights, plastic sheeting, rolls of paper, and blotters. These and other emergency tools should be kept together in a readily accessible,designated area and be easily transportable to thedisaster site.

Insect & Pest Traps ��


�� Webbing Clothes Moth Trap KitThe number one museum insect pest worldwide is the webbingclothes moth (Tineola bisselliella). Clothes moth larvae feed onwool, hair, feathers, fur, upholstered furniture, bristles, dried hair and leather. This effective trap is for the monitoring andtrapping of moths and other flying insect pests. The trap is cutand creased to shape for on-site assembly, coated with a verytacky non-drying adhesive, suitable for capturing large andsmall moth species. Pheromone lures are placed in the centre of the sticky insert before location in the trap, and catch inspec-tion is possible without the need for dismantling of the trap. Themoths are unable to escape from the strong adhesive and areretained for identification and counting. For monitoring insectpopulations use a maximum density of one trap per 100m2 offloor area. In large open buildings the density may be reducedto one trap per 800m2.The kit comes with instructions, 10 traps and lures.

Product Code: 975-0030 £34.80

�� Lo-Line (Cockroach Trap)These large traps will catch a large number of insects, giving a lot of information on the population in the immediate locality. Easy to assembleand safe to handle, use in cafeterias and collection storage areas. Whilst a large variety of insects will be caught in these traps, they are primarily used to monitor cockroaches. The lures contain a mimic of the aggregation pheromone used by these pests, to enhance attraction. Lures for crawling insects, whether theycontain aggregation pheromone, sex pheromone, or food attractants, operate over a much shorter distance, often no more than 1.5metres. Establishing a grid of traps is therefore not a realistic proposition, so it is more important to concentrate on key positionswhere insects are more likely to congregate, or at entry points to vulnerable areas.Comes with instructions, 10 traps, and 10 blister packed 11mm tablet attractant lures.

Product Code: 975-0050 £6.25 per 10dimensions 210mm x 100mm x 22mm

�� SP-Locator (Warehouse Moths)A low profile, disposable trap for localised detection of sources of warehouse moth infestations in sensitive and inaccessible areas,such as beneath shelving or display cabinets, inside stored collections in the repository. The cardboard locator is supplied folded flat.It folds quickly and easily into an open-ended box shape, with adhesive covered floor. This non-drying adhesive catches and retainswarehouse moths, which are attracted into the trap by the pheromone lure provided with the locator. Effective for monitoring theeffect of cleaning, fumigation or insecticide treatments. May be used horizontally or vertically, allow at least 5 metres between locators. Most positions of use will be dusty and the adhesive loses the ability to retain insects once covered in dust.Comes with instructions, 20 traps and 20 lures.

Product Code: 975-1313 £14.20dimensions: 100mm x 70mm floor area. 20mm high

�� Window (Tribolium) TrapThe window trap is a general purpose trap for small crawlinginsects. It can be used without lures, relying on the attraction ofa harbourage to entice the insects to enter, or it can be usedwith specific lures. Once inside, insects are captured on thesticky surface. Use in inconspicuous areas of your exhibits andstorage areas.The kit comes with instructions, 10 traps and 10 lures.

� Furnace exposure to over 1000ºC.� Slow cooling to simulate being buried in hot rubble.� A 9.1m drop test duplicates conditions of a floor collapsing in a fire, (a test that the Fire File passes due to

the high integral strength of its design). At no stage during the test did the internal temperature of the cabinet exceed the safe storage temperature for paper: 170ºC.

Construction for the purposeAvailable in two, three or four drawer sizes, three robust filing cabinets contain a minimum of 38mm of fire proofing all round,with intumescent seals around drawer to close up tolerances in the event of fire. Fire resistant bulkheads between each drawer ensure that they are individually insulated. A shock absorbing plinth provides maximum impact absorbtion in the case of floor collapse. Heavy duty drawer slides are fully ‘life tested’ and a day catch fitted to each drawer ensures that theystay shut even if the cabinet is unlocked during a fire. Drawers are designed to ensure smooth operation.

Protection built-inEach drawer is individually protected from fire. Even if one of the drawers is accidentally left open, the other closed drawers are still protected by the built-in, fire resistant partitions. The drawers are fitted with sturdy suspension files adjustable toaccommodate foolscap or A4 filing wallets. Comes with unique locking action.

Acid In chemistry, a substance capable of forminghydrogen ions when disolved in water. Acidscan weaken cellulose in paper, board, andcloth, leading to embrittlement. Acids may be introduced in the manufacture of librarymaterials and may be left in intentionally (as in certain sizings) or incidentally. Acids may also be introduced by migrationfrom other materials or from atmospheric pollution. See also pH and Acid migration.

Acid-freeIn chemistry, materials that have a pH of 7.0 or higher. Some-times used incorrectly as a synonym for alkaline or buffered. Such materials may be produced from virtually any cellulose fiber source (cotton and wood,among others), if measures are taken duringmanufacture to eliminate active acid fromthe pulp. However free of acid a paper orboard may be immediately after manufac-ture, over time the presence of residual chlorine from bleaching, aluminum sulfatefrom sizing, or pollutants in the atmospheremay lead to the formation of acid unless thepaper or board has been buffered with analkaline substance.

Acid Migration The transfer of acid from an acidic materialto a less acidic or pH neutral material. Thismay occur directly, when the two materialsare in intimate contact. For instance, acidmay migrate from boards, endpapers, andprotective tissues, as well as the paper coversof books and pamphlets, to the less acidicpaper of the text.

Acrylic A plastic noted for transparency, light weight, weather resistance, color fastness and rigidity. In addition to these qualities,acrylics are important in preservation becauseof their stability, or resistance to chemicalchange over time, a characteristic not common to all plastics. Acrylics are availablein sheets, films, and resin adhesives. Somecommon trade names for the sheet form are:Perspex®, Lucite® and PlexiGlas®.

Alkaline Alkaline substances have a pH over 7.0. Theymay be added to a material to neutralizeacids or as an alkaline reserve or buffer forthe purpose of counteracting acids that mayform in the future. A buffer may be addedduring manufacture or during the process of deacidification. While a number of chemicals may be used as buffers, the mostcommon are magnesium carbonate and calcium carbonate.

Alpha cellulose A form of cellulose derived from cotton. Thepresence of alpha cellulose in paper or boardis one indication of its stability or longevity.Non-cellulosic components of wood arebelieved to contribute to the degradation of paper and board.

Buffer See Alkaline.

Calcium Carbonate An alkaline chemical used as a buffer inpapers and boards.

Cellulose The chief constituent of the cell walls of all

plants. Also, the chief constituent of manyfibrous plant products, including paper andsome cloth.

Chemical Stability Not easily decomposed or otherwise modifiedchemically. This is a desirable characteristicfor materials used in preservation, since it suggests an ability to resist chemicaldegradation (such as the embrittlement of paper), over time and/or upon exposureto various conditions during use or storage.Other terms used loosely as synonyms: inert,stable, chemically inert.

Conservation The treatment of library or archive materials,works of art, or museum objects to stabilizethem chemically or strengthen them physic-ally, sustaining their survival as long as possible in their original form. See alsoPreservation.

Deacidification A common term for a chemical treatmentthat neutralizes acid in a material such aspaper and deposits an alkaline buffer tocounteract future acid attack. Deacidificationtechnically refers only to the neutralization of acids present at the time of treatment, not to the deposit of a buffer. For this reason,the term is being slowly replaced with themore accurate phrase “neutralization andalkalization’’. While deacidification increasesthe chemical stability of paper, it does notrestore strength or flexibility to brittle materials. See also pH.

Encapsulation A form of protective enclosure for papers andother flat objects; involves placing the itembe-tween two sheets of transparent polyesterfilm that are subsequently sealed around alledges. The object is thus physically supportedand protected from the atmosphere, althoughit may continue to deteriorate in the capsule.Because the object is not adhered to the polyester, it can be removed simply by cutting one or more edges of the polyester.

Fibre content A statement of the types and percentages of fibers used in the manufacture of a paper, board, or cloth. Important because the quality of the fiber significantly affectsboth the durability and chemical stability of the material.

Fibreboard Paperboard made of laminated sheets of heavily pressed fiber.

Inert See Chemical Stability.

Lamination A process of reinforcing fragile paper, usuallywith thin, translucent or transparent sheets.Some forms of lamination are consideredunacceptable as conservation methodsbecause of potential damage from high heatand pressure during application, instabilityof the lamination materials, or difficulty in removing the laminated item, especially long after the treatment was performed.

Lignin A component of the cell walls of plants that occurs naturally, along with cellulose. Lignin is largely responsible for the strengthand rigidity of plants, but its presence in

paper and board is believed to contribute to chemical degradation. It can be, to a large extent, removed during manufacture.No standards exist for the term “lignin-free’’and additional research is needed to determine the precise role of lignin in thedurability and permanence of paper.

MicronUnit of thickness one mm is equal to 1000 micron.

Mylar® & Melinex®

See Polyester.

Neutral Having a pH of 7; neither acid nor alkaline.

pH In chemistry, pH is a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution,which is a measure of acidity or alkalinity.The pH scale runs from 0 to 14, and eachnumber indicates a ten-fold increase. Seven is pH neutral; numbers below 7 indicateincreasing acidity, with 1 being most acid. Numbers above 7 indicate increasingalkalinity, with 14 being most alkaline. Paper with a pH below 5 is considered highlyacidic. Buffered storage materials typicallyhave a pH between 7 and 9. See also Acid;Alkaline.

Permanence Ability of a material to resist chemical deterioration, but not a quantifiable term. Permanent paper usually refers to a durable alkaline paper that is manufactured according to ANSI Standard Z39.48-1984 Permanence of Paper for Printed LibraryMaterials. Even so called permanent materials depend for their longevity upon proper storage conditions. See also Chemical Stability.

PlexiGlas®

Trade name for acrylic sheet material madeby Rohm and Haas. See Acrylic for other trade names.

Point A unit of thickness of paper or board; onethousandth of an inch. For example, .060"equals sixty points. See also Micron.

Polyester A common name for the plastic polyethyleneterephthalate. Its characteristics includetransparency, colorlessness, and high tensile strength. In addition, it is useful in preservation because it is very chemically stable. Commonly used in sheet or film formto make folders, encapsulations and bookjackets. Its thickness is often measured inmils. Common trade names are Mylar® by DuPont and Melinex® .

Polyethylene A chemically stable, highly flexible, transparent or translucent plastic. Used in preservation to make sleeves for photographic materials, among other uses.

Polypropylene A stiff, heat resistant, chemically stable plastic. Common uses in preservation: sleeves for 35mm slides or films, containers.

Polyvinyl Acetate (PVA)A plastic usually abbreviated as PVA. A colourless transparent solid, it is usually

used in adhesives, which are themselves alsoreferred to as PVA or PVA adhesive. There aredozens of PVA adhesives, some are “internallyplasticized’’ and are suitable for use in conservation, due to greater chemical stability among other qualities.

Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) A plastic, often abbreviated as PVC. It is notas chemically stable as some other plastics,since it can emit hydrochloric acid (which inturn can damage library materials) as itdeteriorates, and therefore has limited application in the preservation of books and paper. Some plastics called vinyl may be polyvinyl chloride.

Preservation Activities associated with maintaining library,archival, or museum materials for use, eitherin their original physical form or in someother format. Preservation is considered a broader term than Conservation. See Conservation.

Pressboard A tough, dense, highly glazed paperboard,used where strength and stiffness arerequired of a relatively thin (e.g. .030")board. It is almost as hard as a sheet offiberboard, and is commonly used for the covers of notebooks. See also Solid board,Fibreboard.

Reversibility Ability to undo a process or treatment withno change to the object. Reversibility is animportant goal of conservation treatment,but it must be balanced with other treatmentgoals and options.

Sizings Chemicals added to paper that make it lessabsorbent, so that inks applied will not bleed.Acidic sizings can be harmful and can causepaper to deteriorate, but some are not acidicand are expected to be more chemically stable.

Solid Board A paperboard made of the same materialthroughout. Distinct from a combinationboard where two or more types of fiber stock are used, in layers. See also Fibreboard, Pressboard.

Stability See Chemical stability.

UV Filter A material used to filter the ultraviolet (UV)rays out of visible light. Ultraviolet radiationis potentially damaging to library, archival,and museum objects and more is present in sunlight and fluorescent light than inincandescent light. Removing UV radiationfrom storage, use, and exhibition spaces can reduce the rate of deterioration of library materials stored there. Usually a UV filtering material is placed over windows orfluorescent light tubes, or over glass used inframing, or in exhibition cases. Certain acrylicsheet materials have UV filtering propertiesbuilt in.

Vinyl The word vinyl is imprecisely used to refer toany of a number of plastics, many of whichare not appropriate for use in preservation.For specific safe plastics, see Polyester,Polypropylene, Polyvinyl acetate, Acrylic.
