Description
Archive-Grade Epoxies
Unlike commercial epoxies that yellow, shrink, and become highly brittle, conservation-grade epoxies are engineered for extreme chemical stability, minimal shrinkage, and precise optical clarity over centuries. They are rarely used on paper; instead, they serve as the structural anchor for rigid multimedia artifacts found within archive collections.
- Primary Uses: Restoring broken pottery, glass, bone, structural leather, stone reliefs, and securing heavy museum display elements.
- Chemical Stability: Formulated using highly stable resins (such as specific bisphenol-A/epichlorohydrin formulas cross-linked with non-yellowing aliphatic amines) to resist oxidation and UV degradation.
- Key Characteristics:
- Zero Outgassing: Does not release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that could degrade nearby paper documents inside a sealed archival enclosure.
- Gap Filling: Maintains its structural volume without shrinking or cracking as it cures.
