In Japan, people tend to feel unwell during seasonal transitions due to the effects of temperature and humidity differences.

The same holds true for cultural assets displayed in  museums.

Delicate cultural assets that have survived over long periods require meticulous environmental control, with humidity regulation being a particularly critical factor.

Our silica gel humidity control product, “ARTSORB,” assists in preserving these cultural assets. It can be controlled to match the optimal humidity for artworks and culturals artifacts. Simply place the required amount in display cases; no electrical energy is needed.

When air conditioning stops during unexpected situations such as power outages or natural disaster, “ARTSORB” maintains the ideal humidity level inside the display cases.

Furthermore, while “ARTSORB” is primarily used for humidity control, there have been instances where it was utilized as a humidifier for other purposes. Although this is a rare application, it was used in the display of “deep-sea drilling cores.” It successfully met the extremely demanding requirements of preventing condensation on the exhibits while maintaining temperatures below 5°C and humidity levels above 80%.

ARTSORB is often installed in hidden locations from outside display cases, though it may also be placed on the edges of display pedestals. When visiting museums, be sure to find them. In this way, the silica gel humidity controller ARTSORB is active worldwide, protecting  artworks and cultural artifacts and passing them on to the future 100 years from now.
