This Ecoline Buffered Tissue Paper is designed for archivists, conservators, and anyone needing economical, archival-quality protection for paper, photographs, textiles, and artifacts. Its primary benefit is preventing acid migration and neutralizing existing acids, thereby extending the life of valuable items. A potential caveat is its thinness, which, while maximizing translucency, requires careful handling during use. This product offers a cost-effective solution for interleaving and protective storage.

Buffered means the tissue contains an alkaline substance, such as calcium carbonate (3% in this case), which acts as an alkaline reserve. This reserve helps neutralize acids that may be present in the item being protected or that migrate from adjacent materials or the environment, thus extending the item's lifespan.
Yes, it is suitable for most photographs, including black and white, color, and albumen prints. Its acid-free nature and buffering help protect the delicate chemical layers of photographic emulsions.
The tissue paper is very thin, measuring approximately 0.001 inches (or 16 gsm). This allows for maximum translucency.
Each sheet measures 20.32 x 25.4 cm (8 x 10 inches).
There are 100 sheets per package.
Yes, it is suitable for protecting textiles by interleaving or wrapping them, helping to prevent acid migration and environmental damage.
This tissue paper is primarily intended for interleaving and archival storage. For framing, you would typically use a mat board and backing board that are specifically rated as archival and acid-free. This tissue could potentially be used as a very thin barrier layer if specified by a professional conservator, but it's not a standard framing material.
Handle the tissue gently by the edges. Use a dry, clean surface for placement. Consider using slightly thicker archival material if more robustness is required for a specific application.
Ensure the tissue is the only material in direct contact with the item. Check the storage environment for high humidity or pollutants. The buffer may be nearing depletion; consider replacing the tissue after a thorough assessment.
The tissue has likely absorbed environmental moisture. Remove the affected tissue immediately and store in a dry place. Ensure the storage area for the protected items is climate-controlled and has low relative humidity.
Setup: No setup is required. This product is ready to use directly from the package for interleaving or wrapping.
Compatibility: This buffered tissue is compatible with most paper-based items, photographic prints (including albumen, black and white, and color prints), textiles, and general artifacts. It is recommended to test on a small, inconspicuous area if unsure about compatibility with highly sensitive inks or dyes. Avoid prolonged direct contact with very soft or sticky surfaces.
Care: Store the unused tissue paper in its original packaging or in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight and sources of humidity or pollutants. Handle sheets carefully by the edges to avoid transferring oils from fingertips. For items already protected by this tissue, ensure they are stored in stable environmental conditions (temperature and relative humidity) for optimal preservation.
