7/8" x 150 ft. Abaca.sa Paper Hinging Tape

Abaca.sa is a self-adhesive hinging tape with a very strong acrylic adhesive that is permanent and non-yellowing for hinging works on paper It incorporates the strength and supple nature of Abaca paper (manila hemp) along with a very strong acrylic adhesive that is permanent and non-yellowing.

Because Abaca is self adhesive it is safer to use on photographs and Giclee ink jet prints which are sensitive to water.

Abaca.sa is strong enough to hold large digital prints, and supple enough to adhere to the print without transferring  “cockling” marks on the face of the print. It is acid-free, biodegradable and comes from a self sustainable plant.

Size: 7/8” x 150 ft.

This tape has passed the Photographic Activity Test (PAT) which determines whether or not a storage material will cause fading or staining of photographs.

Uses:  It is recommended for replaceable art such as digital prints or reproductions because it is not easily reversible. If it is necessary to remove the tape it may cause damage to the art. On the positive side it passed the PAT test so if used, the hinges should last and cause little or no problems to the artwork in the future.
