ESCAL™ is a ceramic deposited super barrier film developed especially for the protection of cultural properties which is supplied in rolls. The material had been developed for use with the RP System. The user can unroll and cut the ESCAL™ film to a desired length and seal with a heat sealer or ESCAL™ CLIP. Each Escal ™ film roll includes a continuous data entry space with a white writable background.

ESCAL™ has a particularly outstanding ability to keep out moist air. It is therefore, very useful not only for the preservation of damp wooden artifacts but also for all other conservation or storage purposes. On the other hand, the RP agent works to keep the inside atmosphere of a container very dry, therefore it is not appropriate for conservation or storage of small quantities of paper/textile materials or wooden artifacts, which require a more normal pH.

Mitsubishi have already developed another type called RP-K which does not affect the moisture in a container and which therefore can be used for non metallic artefacts. This new product is now undergoing tests and it is mainly used to protect photographs, films and dyed products from discolouring and fading. It also prevents mildew and insect damage to paper, textile materials and wooden artefact
