Fabric tape used to finish matting boards, mounts, file folders and for preservation folders especially used for embedding valuable artefacts. Free of acidic substances. Weight of the fabric tape including gumming (water- activated) approx. 170 gsm.
Gumming based on potato starch – pH-neutral, manufactured free of softeners and other harmful additives.
The fabric tape is used to finish conservation quality matting boards, mounts, file folders and preservation folders in picture framing industry. Ageing-resistant.
The glue is activated by moistening. After drying, good and permanent adhesion (adhesive strength) is acquired. In comparison to self-adhesive tapes, removable if re-moistened with water. To detach the surface of the tape, moisten it for 5 – 10 minutes and then peel it off carefully.
Please ensure while moistening the fabric tape, that the gummed side of the tape is moistened evenly, using either a wet sponge or a humidifier. Do not moisture excessively!
The gummed side can easily be recognized by comparing the front and back side, the gummed side is slightly yellowish in colour. Please prevent immersing the fabric tape completely into the water bowl because in this case the glue releases itself from the fabric tape. Experience has proven that the most effective moistening method is by using a plastic bowl filled with a sponge and with the top section also covered with a sponge cloth.
