Archival preservation coatings and adhesives

摘要

Preventing the physical degradation of an archival article due to exposure to environmental impurities by applying to a substrate a coating composition containing (i) an alkaline buffer capable of neutralizing acidic components from the environment of the archival article; and (ii) an adsorbent capable of removing chemical components from the environment of the archival article, drying the composition on the substrate to form a coated material; and preventing the physical degradation of the archival object by positioning the coated material in proximity to an archival article.
