ARTSORB
Humidity Controller for Arts and Artifacts, Cultural Assets

ARTSORB is a precious humidity controller for use in the storage of artwork and cultural artifacts. It regulates changes in humidity from season-to-season and due to temperature differences between day and night. ARTSORB prevents fading and cracking of artwork and cultural artifacts. ARTSORB repeatedly adsorbs and releases moisture as if it were breathing, thus making it possible to safely store valuable artwork and cultural artifacts for long periods of time.
