Art Sorb®

Art-Sorb is a moisture sensitive silica material which absorbs 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 relaitve humidities.

ArtSorb is available in 2 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 5-10 sheets 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.

Quantities will vary according to the environment where used, and we recommend monitoring the conditions to ensure correct humidity is achieved.
