CXD Gummed Tyvek® Tape

Conservation Quality Gummed Tape for Mounting, Framing and Bookbinding developed by Conservation By Design.

Tyvek® is a synthetic fibre made from Spun Bonded Polyolefin which is inert and acid free. Made using 105gsm Tyvek® 1057 D with a Water Activated Starch Adhesive pH7.5

This tape offers greater strength yet is thinner than conventional gummed ‘cloth’ mounting tapes. This is beneficial when used for hinging over-mounts to be stored in Solander boxes as it will create less ‘fanning’ to the taped side therefore the mounts will lay flatter. It has many other uses including the production of custom made portfolios. Available in White and Black.

Activate with a damp sponge or roller. Do not over moisten.
