The Challenge
To protect a delicate 17th century pastel during exhibition while providing an optimal viewing experience.
The Solution
Optium Museum Acrylic
Acrylic is half the weight of glass and shatter resistant
Safeguards against injury and damage to artwork and visitors.
Anti-static protection exceeds that of glass
Immediately eliminates static charge. Makes for safer, easier framing and less cleaning.
Abrasion resistant
A durable hard coat protects against scratches from cleaning and general exposure to the public.
Anti-reflective
Allows viewers to see the pastel rather than distracting reflections.
99% UV blocking
Protects the pastel works from the most damaging light wavelengths, helping prevent fading and degradation.
