Art
Bak
This is a double craft lined board available in 1220x915mm Sheets which are
2.2mm thick. They are both completely PH Neutral, including the core, and
are Formaldehyde free. Art Bak 1 has a corrugated core, Art Bak 3 has
a water resistant membrane applied to the outward facing surface and Art
Bak Cons has a water resistant membrame on one side and a white
barrier paper on the other side to save the hassle and expense of
using a separate barrier board.
Conservatek
Conservation Board - 1220 x 915mm (4 x 3) and is 2.35mm thick.
Conservatek has been developed to create an acid protection barrier behind
the artwork without the need for a separate barrier board and backing board.
The visible reverse layer consists of a water proof polymerised polyethylene
laminated kraft liner, giving the traditional backing board finish and resulting
in a totally waterproof backing board. The main core consists of an acid
free pulp board, the inner acid barrier is produced by laminating a 70micron
/ 40gsm metallic coating to the main core.
Greyboard - Sheets are 1120 x 815mm
and are available in 1, 1.5 & 2mm.
