NMAI CONSERVATION APPROVED EXHIBIT MATERIALS

Introduction This document includes information about materials currently approved by the NMAI Conservation Unit for exhibit case interiors. Many of the materials compiled here are excerpted from Hatchfield’s 2002 Pollutants in the Museum Environment and Raphael and Davis’ 1999 National Park Service Exhibit Conservation Guidelines.

NMAI has an active materials Oddy testing program and results are kept in Conservation Unit files. Most of the materials tested are not in this document, so please check with a conservator to determine whether a material has been tested.

Many of these materials are proprietary, manufacturers may change formulations without notification, and codes and restrictions which can impact construction materials and requirements may change.Therefore, some materials listed here may not be acceptable in the future and will be removed, and better products entering the market will be added to this list in the future.

At least three weeks off-site are required for case materials to off-gas before delivery to NMAI galleries for installation. Volatile organic compounds (VOC’s) will continue to off-gas for a long time but the initial three weeks are the most critical.

Note: any materials not listed in this document must be submitted to NMAI Conservation for testing at least six weeks in advance. To submit materials for testing, please see form and directions below.

NON-WOOD MATERIALS FOR CASE CONSTRUCTION

Inert materials such as aluminum (and others listed in Appendix II) are preferred over wood products because tests have shown that acid and formaldehyde emissions from wood products are harmful to sensitive objects, especially in a sealed environment. Wood and wood composite products are unsuitable for air tight case interiors, and particularly for cases housing artifacts sensitive to formaldehyde, and acetic and formic acids. Although wood products can be “sealed” with applied coatings, such sealants do not prevent all acid and formaldehyde emissions.

Sealants will also degrade over time, allowing acid emissions to affect artifacts. If it is not possible to use non-wood products, certain wood products with appropriate vapor barriers may be considered acceptable.

WOOD PRODUCT CASE CONSTRUCTION

As noted above, non-wood case construction is preferred. Conservation guidelines recommend soft-wood products with a low-formaldehyde (phenol formaldehyde) adhesive (Hatchfield 2002, Tétreault 1999). However, acids and formaldehyde are inherent to any wood product. Venting and monitoring case interiors constructed from any wood product are crucial, as is carefully sealing the wood product itself. Our tests show Appleply™, interior grade birch plywood, to be considerably less corrosive than Medex™ or Medite™ despite the fact that these wood products are advertised as no added formaldehyde.

If it is necessary to use wood, the following guidelines should be followed:

The wood should be covered with composite panels (see above); aluminum sign blank; an aluminum vapor barrier film; or an approved coating (see below.)

Case construction should allow for air exchange and should include compartments for pollutant scavengers within the case interior.

Wood products inside cases should not be treated with fire retardants as these chemicals pose an additional risk to the artifacts.

Product Description and Comments Appleply™ birch-faced plywood States Industries 800-626-1981 http://www.statesind.com

Tests indicate that this product is less corrosive than Medex® and Medite® and should be substituted for case interior construction if a wood product must be used.

Can be purchased in 4ft x 8ft and 4ft x 10ft sheets.

Must be used with a vapor barrier

Use the table below to choose wood products. All wood products should be well-seasoned and air dried before use.

Less problematic woods Potentially highly damaging woods Mahogany Walnut Poplar Balsa Willow

Elm (ulmus sp. American, European, and Japanese) (not white ulmus americana)

Oak Sweet chestnut Douglas fir Yellow pine Red Mahogany (Khaya) Teak Western red cedar Cork

VAPOR BARRIER FILMS FOR WOOD PRODUCTS

If a wood product must be used on the interior of a case, a vapor barrier must be used to protect the artifacts. A film, rather than a coating, is much more effective. Not all films are listed below, for more extensive listing see Hatchfield’s Pollutants in the Museum Environment, Appendix III (attached.)

Product Description and Comments Aluminum sign blank Various distributors

Can be painted or have graphic applied.

Gaps between sheets should be sealed with aluminum tape or caulking.

Holes drilled for mount posts should be caulked.

Expanded PVC sheet Can be used as vapor barrier for wood products Holes drilled for mount posts should be caulked.

Will need to be covered with fabric or other decorative finish.

VAPOR BARRIER COATINGS FOR WOOD PRODUCTS

Vapor barrier films such as those listed above are much preferred over liquid coatings. If a film cannot be used, a 2-part 100% solids epoxy or a waterborne polyurethane resin will provide some reduction of harmful emissions from the wood, and can be considered for short term exhibit materials or wood products that are easily removed from exhibit cases. Note that water based acrylic latex coatings, including paint, offer no protection.

All coatings should be applied out of the gallery off-site and allowed to off-gas three weeks before installation.

CASE GLAZING

If natural light or ultraviolet (UV) containing light is on the exterior of the case, a UV absorbing acrylic or glass must be used. Direct sunlight should not reach a case, however in the event that it does, a low emissivity coating to block the infrared light should be applied.

Product Description and Comments

ADHESIVES

The following adhesive is acceptable for use in case interiors to mount photomurals, text panels etc. provided the object is not in direct contact with the adhesive. Other adhesives may be acceptable but will need to be tested. Generally, acrylic based adhesives without plasticizers are the least problematic.

Product Description and Comments Instabond C Quality Mounting and Laminating Systems, Inc.

800-552-9427 www.qmls.com

Permanent pressure adhesive used for mounting photographs, prints, etc., to substrates.

1 mil clear polyester carrier coated on both sides with 1.1 mils of an acrylic adhesive.

Roll sizes range from 13”x200’ up to 62” x 200’

Problematic adhesives include protein-based (animal) glues, rubber-based or plasticized, cellulose nitrate, polyvinyl acetates, and urea formaldehyde adhesives. It is also preferable that hot-melt adhesives not be used inside the cases as they frequently are based on an ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) resin which has the potential to break down and off-gas acetic acid. If it is necessary to use one, 3M 3797, Bostik Thermogrip 6330 and Evode Limited Evo-Stik 7702 are among the more stable.

GRAPHIC SUBSTRATES IN CASE INTERIORS

The following have been tested for other projects and found to be safe. Others may also be acceptable but will need to be tested.

PAINTS

A zero or low volatile organic components (VOC) acrylic latex paint or two-part epoxy resin is recommended for the interior of the cases. Oil or alkyd paints are not acceptable. See Appendix III for paints that have been found to be low VOC. Please note that all paints chosen must be tested.

Painted cases require 3 weeks off-site to off-gas before objects can be installed.

Direct contact of objects with the painted surface is not recommended due to possible transfer of components.

Paint does not provide an effective barrier coating for wood products and thus should be used in addition to vapor barrier coating or film when used on wood paneling inside cases. (See above vapor barrier coating and film sections)

Low VOC paint levels:

Non-flat paint: 0-150g/I or 0-1.25lbs/gal Flat paint: 0-50 g/l or 0.42 lbs/gal

FIRE RETARDANTS

Smithsonian Office of Safety, Health, and Environment Management (OSHEM) fire safety regulations are strictly enforced. For exhibit walls and platforms, Fire Retardant Pressure Impregnated (FRPI) wood is permitted, but metal construction is encouraged. The Smithsonian Office of Exhibits Central and many major museums in the U.S are moving away from wood construction in favor of metal construction for casework. If the exterior wood has been treated with a fire retardant, a layer of vapor barrier film (not a liquid sealant) must protect the interior of the case from this substance. Chemicals used in fire retardants are corrosive to metal objects and create a toxic environment for museum objects inside the cases. OSHEM has specified fire retardant (FR) coatings be used in case interiors where the area under the deck is over 100 cubic feet. However, OSHEM considers it acceptable to use a non-FR treated material for surfaces that are only exposed to the interior of the vitrine, as long as there are no sources of ignition within the vitrine, and the vitrine is completely enclosed. This material would have to be applied directly to a noncombustible material or FRPI wood backing. A sealant or membrane sandwiched between these two layers (with no air gap) would be acceptable.

CASE LIGHTING

For more information see Tétreault 2003 and AAM 1996.

If the light source is to be inside the case fiber optics should be used. Glass fibers are preferred over acrylic as recent testing indicates that acrylics, contrary to company advertising, will still most likely yellow in a few years and need to be replaced.

A UV filter and a condensing lens should be placed at the source regardless of the type of fibers used.

Internal document, for distribution by NMAI Conservation staff only. Page 10 of 26

The illuminator must be well vented and should be outside the case, preferably above rather than below.

ODDY TEST SAMPLE SUBMISSION

NMAI uses the Oddy test to evaluate materials. The Oddy Test Sample Submission Form is intended to provide information regarding each material submitted for testing, reason for testing the material, potential use of the material, and test results. A new form should be completed each time the product is tested. Contact Conservation Unit staff to obtain complete forms.

Sections I and II of the form are completed by the person submitting material to be tested. The submitter should also provide a sample of the material to be tested and an MSDS.

A material will not be recommended for exhibit and storage purposes (even if it has passed the Oddy test) unless exact, detailed information describing what the material is, who manufactured it and where it can be obtained is provided so that the same material that was tested can be ordered in the future.

Manufacturers may change the composition of a product without notice. All materials (even those that passed the test) should be retested periodically.

Interpretation of Oddy Test results is based on a comparison of the metal test coupons for each sample with the metal coupons used in the controls, and review of the MSDS and literature describing the composition of the material tested.

The terms pass and fail refer only to the performance of a material in a specific test.

The NMAI Conservation Department should be consulted regarding the appropriate use of a material for short-term or long-term display and storage.
