Art-Sorb

From: Nigel Larkin <*nrlarkin<-a*> Date: Wednesday, October 1, 1997 · nrlarkin<-a

This query is posted on behalf of a colleague in Greece: Please
reply to this if you have any useful knowledge. It is urgent.

    1.  Is it really possible, using Art-Sorb, to maintain RH levels
        as low as 2% in display cases?

    2.  Is it impossible to achieve this with silica gel?

    3.  If the results between the two methods are close, is it
        worth paying the extra money for Art-Sorb: ie. does it last
        longer, or is more reliable.

    4.  If these questions have already been addressed in any
        publication, please let us know where.
