Archival Tapes
Metropolitan carries a variety of archival tapes for different applications. Applications include: hinging art on paper and photographs, attaching a mat to a backing board, attaching wood spacers, and providing a dust cover for the back of fine art frames.
1" x 130 ft. Gummed Paper Hinging Tape
The high tensile strength of this quality, water activated hinging tape will support all but the heaviest works of art. The paper is acid-free with a calcium carbonate buffer and a pH of 8.5. The neutral pH adhesive has excellent tack to hold firmly without slipping or ''creeping''.
Not recommended with photographs and Giclee inkjet prints because of their sensitivity to water.
