II Polypropylene CD Cases
Dust, grime and environmental pollution are often the greatest threat to your audio/visual
collections. Protect your CDs by storing them in these long-lasting polypropylene cases.
Polypropylene is an inert, non-reactive plastic suitable for long-term, dust-free storage of media
of all types. Original polystyrene “jewel boxes” often crack or break at the hinge after only one
or two openings, but the hinges on these cases are flexible and will withstand hundreds of
openings. Translucent cases allow a visual check of the contents without having to open them. II Archivalware® Jewel Case Inserts

II CD Storage Boxes
Make the most of your shelf space while at the same time, protecting your CDs from dust, dirt and
environmental pollutants. Both of these boxes store up to 30 CDs and accompanying literature in
either the original jewel cases or our polypropylene replacement cases (see above). Constructed of
60 pt. lignin-free tan board that has a smooth, low-dust surface. Lids are 2" (50mm) deep. Choose
the portrait version that allows you to read titles on standard CDs, or the landscape version that
leaves room for divider guides (sold separately). Divider guides allow you to identify and divide your
collections within the box. Please note: Divider guides are not compatible with 800-5512.
II Introducing archivalware®
Preservers with Corrosion
Intercept® Technology
Extend life of your CDs 40+ years!
PEL is pleased to announce that new testing of
Lucent Bell Labs’ Corrosion Intercept®
Technology indicates substantial increases in
CD longevity by storing them in archivalware®
enclosures. Recent studies have shown CD life to
be extended from 40 to 120 years. Ozone and
reactive oxygen cause the aluminum layer on the
CD/DVD to break down. When aluminum in a
thin film oxidizes it becomes clear and unable to
reflect the laser pulse attempting to read the disc.
archivalware® Corrosion Intercept® protects
against this failure. The permanent neutralization of
corrosive gasses also prevents fungus and bacterial
growth. The unique design of the archivalware® CD
Preservers allow full visibility of the face of the CD/DVD
while protecting the data side of the disc. The clear film
which is UV protected will not lift images from the face
of laser or inkjet produced labels. This unique and conve-
nient storage system assures you the maximum protection
current technology offers.

Helpful Hint
Paper enclosures are opaque and block light. They are also porous and help prevent the accumulation
of moisture and gases. However, viewing is more difficult since you must remove the item from the
enclosure before you can see it. Handling can cause harmful fingerprinting and other damage.
Suggestion: Use paper when items don’t require frequent viewing. Select non-acidic paper enclosures
that are of archival quality. Use buffered storage enclosures for cellulose-nitrate and early safety-film
negatives, brittle prints, and prints on brittle acidic mounts. Use non-buffered enclosures for colour
images, black and white prints, cyanotypes, or albumen prints.

These boards are available in 100% cotton rag manufactured exclusively by Nielsen & Bainbridge. The boards contain
zeolites which are molecular traps which collect airborne acidic pollutant gases. These harmful gases are then neutralized
by an alkaline buffer of calcium carbonate. Therefore, within the micro environment of a sealed frame mounted with Microchamber
the ageing of artwork is considerably retarded.
The boards are sulphur and lignin free, have a pH of 8.9 and pass the Photographic Activity Test. Microchamber® boards are

Heavy Duty Silver Safe Photo Paper
Folder Stock This photo and silver safe unbuffered paper is made from high
purity 100% cotton all rag paper. It has been developed for photo-
graphic conservation. An ideal interleaving paper used for protecting
prints and works of art on paper. The fibre distribution and formation
are excellent with a very smooth finish to prevent damage by
abrasion. At the time of manufacture the pH value is between 6.8
and 7.2 since the paper is not buffered, a drop in pH value is to be
expected when exposed to normal atmospheric conditions.
Various uses are found for this 40gsm 100% cotton rag paper other than the obvious
photographic uses such as: Document and manuscript repair, backing, lining, reinforcing,
hinging, interleaving and wrapping. Ideal for storage where unbuffered stock is used such as for
wool and silk in textiles, silver and other artifacts.
This product passes the Photo Activity Test of ANSI Standard IT 9.16 in independent tests
performed at the Image Permanence Institute at Rochester Institute of Technology, Rochester, NY.

backing, it can be used over and over again withstanding being laundered. More fibrous
than Holytex, which is reflected in the price, because Hollytex is cullendered for longer in
manufacture.
Hollytex®

conservators who use it in various preservation procedures.

Cubelite
PEL has been requested to supply the Cubelite for the cataloguing of works of art and photography during conservation. This system
will allow you to take professional looking subject shots time after time with no unsightly shadows or reflections.
By placing the item to be photographed inside the Cubelite many of the typical lighting difficulties experienced by non professional
photographs are automatically taken care of. The operation of the Cubelite is simple. It works with a constant light source and
therefore requires no additional “flash” from the camera. This makes composing the shot very easy because what you see is what you
actually get. The Cubelite also comes with a removal front panel. This can be attached if the subject matter is highly reflective such
as glass. The subject is completely isolated from the surroundings with only a small zip opening for the camera lens. This ensures
photographs with no unsightly reflections.
The 2ft and 3ft kits include: 1 x Cubelite, 1 x Stand, 1 x Tungsten Light, 1 x 500w Bulb, 1 x Silver/White Reflector,
1 x White Vinyl Background Sheet, 1 x Carry Case,
The 4ft kits include the same as the 2ft and 3ft plus a roll of white background paper.
The 5ft & 6ft 6" kits include: 1 x Cubelite, 4 x Stands, 4 x Tungsten Lights, 4 x 500w Bulbs, 1 x Roll of White Background Paper,
The removable back and base on the 3ft kit allows you to photograph a section of a much larger product that will not fit inside
the Cubelite such as long subjects. The removable back also allows you to photograph fragments and retain the original
background, useful for archaeological digs.
Light Boxes
Our extensive range of light boxes are designed to suit most requirements for conservators and
photographic work. We have available from stock small to extra large light boxes with colour
corrected lamps to British Standard 950 part 2 (5000°K). The opal perspex flush screen will not
snag your material. The lightweight aluminium extrusion has a “silver hammer” finish, sizes A4,
A3, and A2 have a carry handle, all models have an on/off switch. Models fitted with stage dim-
mer switch have a D at the end of the product code.

The size of the light surface is 11.7 x 8.25 inches (297mm x 210mm) an ideal size to fit A4

power consumption is less than a 20 watt bulb, because of the type of fluorescent lamp used,
it does not fade or get hot.
It has a 12 volt input supplied by a mains 110 Volt and 230 Volt AC/DC adaptor. The Light

II Vacuum Pick-Up System
Replacement This system is designed for various conservation practices, will pick up small fragments of wood,
Inlet Filter metal, gem stones, ceramics, paper and paint flakes. One feature is you do not have to hold
your finger over a small hole (as with other systems) to create a vacuum. This is better for
conservators to manipulate fragments into awkward positions, then simply press the button to
release the fragment. The PTFE rigid cups will prevent pieces with wet adhesives sticking to
the vacuum cup when you wish to release the fragment such as paint flakes.
The vacuum pump is very small, quiet in operation and lightweight and consumes only 5W of
power. An internal filter on the inlet ensures that no particles can enter the pump mechanism
and an outlet filter ensures that no particles created by the pump are released into the
surrounding air. This makes the pump suitable for class 1 clean rooms. Vacuum pressure is
sufficient to lift 150 grams weight and is adjustable from maximum to very soft pressure. Spare
560-FV-20 560-FV-10 inlet filters are also available.

release. Vacuum is continuosly drawn until the button is pressed (press to release). Suction
cups are easily changed without dismantling the wand itself. Silicone suction cups are included

is also available.

conservator is better protected by a HEPA filter. The disposable cartridge when filled with waste
can then be disposed of in compliance with local regulations. The HEPA filter is built into the 947-3232 Standard

II Cotton Bags
PEL drawstring calico bags are soft to give delicate fragments protection. The 100% cotton bags are sturdy (not the flimsy
see-through type) with strong cotton pull strings to seal the contents. Can be washed but should not be tumble dried.
Used for seeds, specimens, jewellery, fragments and various items found in museums.
As with all our bags, special sizes are available, a minimum of 250 bags will apply. Contact customer services.
Price per pack 100 bags.
II Tyvek Bags
Tyvek has proven to be a suitable material for many conservation and preservation requirements. This protective material has
high tensile/tear strength in all directions because its constituent fibres are spun-bonded. The relatively slick surface is a further
barrier and prevents snagging with fragile specimens. Used as geological bags and archaeological bags because they can be
used outside since the wet will not effect them.
The Tyvek Bags are frequently used for field specimens, the convenient sown in label allows notes of the contents. The pull string
closure enables the contents to be sealed inside the bag.
All sizes are kept in stock, for special sizes, minimums of 250 bags per size would apply. We can print your desired
wording on the label, contact customer services.
Price per package of 100 bags.

The dome has a hole to take the humidity hose and a smaller one to insert a humidity sensor
(see 0107-4500) humidity Controller). The large damper regulates the build up of negative
vacuum pressure inside the dome and prevents excessive external pressure on the dome. We
suggest our Ultrasonic Humidifier Kit (see page 138) is used for moist air, which gives a very
even movement of mist within the dome, allowing relaxation to be controlled and even.
Made from clear 6mm acrylic with a base size of 795mm x 595mm x 330mm high.
II PEL Steamer
The PEL-Steamer is a super heated steam generator with precision fine adjustment for removal
of adhesives, waxes and resins on paper, books, wall paintings, gemstone cleaning, ceramic,
sculpture, metal, in fact many conservation applications where controllable steam pressure is
required. Fine adjustment from 0.5 to 8 bar (120 P.S.I.) with no drop in steam pressure during
operation.
Safety features: automatic safety valve, automatic steam release (solenoid) valve, thermostatic
cut out should the water level become too low. The machine is tested and approved to interna-
tional standards. Operation is simple, once switched on, a short delay before neon indicating
light illuminates to inform you the machine is operational. The extra long 1.75 metre flexible
steam hose and fine jet hand-piece make it ideal for standing up on site work, especially for
wall paintings. The long hose also allows the unit to sit on the floor (not on the bench) away from
work in progress. The foot control switch allows hands free operation. To empty, simply turn on
the outlet tap. Additional features such as pressure gauge, water level gauge, on-off foot switch,
water outlet tap, 8 bar pressure, plugs into any 110 or 220/240 volt electrical supply with extra
long steam hose. No other machine offers these features.

II UV-Ultra Violet & Lux-Visible Light Monitoring
It is recognised that a major cause of damage to museum works of art can be light, with the most damaging being the UV content. To enable curators and conservators to monitor these levels
we offer a proven range of instruments. These meters measure proportion of UV present (µW/Lumen), the total amount of UV (µW/M2) and the amount of visible light present (Lux). The amount
of UV should be as little as possible and in general should not exceed 20µW/M 2 or 75µW/Lumen. Normal museum light levels should be limited to 150-250 Lux. Once measurements have been
observed action can be taken, light levels altered, if necessary UV filters fitted to display cases, windows and fluorescent tubes. (See page 165 for UV filtering products).
II Environmental Monitor
(RH Temp UV & LUX). This single instrument measures humidity (RH) Temperature (ºC, ºF) Ultra Violet (UV)
and Visible Light (LUX).
The appropriate button is pushed depending on the measurement required and the reading taken. The metre
automatically turns off 10 seconds after the last reading unless a button is held down for over 5 seconds, this
allows continuous monitoring until another button is pressed. The large 8 line display enables an easy
to use menu system to select the more advanced functions. Data Logging functions enable over
10,000 readings of all four parameters to be automatically taken at selectable intervals (every
10 seconds to 1 hour). The saved data can be transferred to a computer by a wireless infa-
red link (IRDA compatible). Modern computers have infa-red interface built in, for those that
do not adapters are available.
Software is provided to save the logged data in a CSV format that can be accessed
and displayed by many applications (e.g. Microsoft Excel). Maximum and minimum
values and their time measurement are displayed for each parameter. A calibration
kit is available for user calibration of the RH sensor using saturated salt solutions.
II Light Meter
A truly professional Lux Meter which gives instant readings of light levels in Lux or Footcandles.
Data hold function enables you to lock the reading in order to make notes. Min/Max memory
allows you to leave the meter and record the minimum and maximum light levels and average
recall (since power on). Low battery indicator and auto power off (10 minutes non-activity). The
auto power off can be disabled to facilitate period monitoring. A zero adjustment function can
be applied prior to measurements being taken, particularly useful for measuring light intensity
levels above an already recorded measurement. The sensor is a silicon photo diode equipped
with a colour correction filter incorporating a spectrum and cosine corrected lens connected to
the instrument by a 1 metre coiled cable. Manual Range Selection, the low 40 and 400 Lux
ranges are most suitable for low light levels in Museum displays.
II Thermohygrometer
The Thermohygrometer sensors are positioned in the void of
a protective grill making the handheld instrument mobile and
suitable for taking temperature and humidity measurements
in various locations.
A compact design for ease of use with an integrated vented
sensor grill, which enables measurements to be taken within
an air stream. Sensing is by a precision thermistor for tem-
perature, and a resistive polymer sensor for humidity, giving
fast and repeatable readings.

However they are all related and if you know the material characteristics you can always
convert from one unit to another.
We are commonly asked what is the actual moisture ratio? Which is quite common in the
building trade. In almost all imaginable situations relative humidity is what is actually relevant.
For example mould requires the relative humidity to be above a certain value (generally 75%)
to grow. We have successfully verified the functionality of 75% RH wall-protect sensors for
measurements in three different materials (wood, brick and porous concrete) all having
a humidity content corresponding to 78% RH. According to reference literature 75% RH
corresponds to approx. 17% moisture ratio for wood and approx. 7 kg/m3 for brick.

II Whirling Hygrometer
The Whirling Hygrometer offers the maximum level of accuracy due to the nature of measurement.
One of the most economic methods of monitoring relative humidity that utilises the wet and dry
principle, thermometers manufactured to BS2842 allows accurate readings to be taken. Housed
in a robust yellow plastic frame and black folding handle, the instrument incorporates a water
cistern linked to the “wet” bulb by means of a cotton sleeve. The Whirling Hygrometer is whirled
rapidly for thirty seconds, after which time a reading of the two thermometers is taken, with the
wet bulb thermometer normally read first. This is repeated until two consecutive readings are
obtained which are comparable. The relative humidity can then be determined by correlating the
readings with those on the hygrometric tables supplied with each instrument. The Whirling
Hygrometer comes complete with hygrometric tables and carrying case.
In addition to logging up to 32000 readings, current values of temperature and humidity are shown on the LCD display.
The complete assembly is manufactured from food grade materials and is splash proof.
The applications for Tinyview are many and varied such as historical houses, museums, archives, repository and cavity wall
monitoring. The logger has 2 user programmable alarms, delayed and trigger start options (up to 45 days). Logging interval one
second to ten days, off load data while stopped or when logging, reading types actual, minimum and maximum.

II PEL Cloth™
MicroFibre Cleaning without chemicals (just use water). Until recently it has not been possible to clean surfaces without the use
of chemicals. Technology has changed this, with the PEL-Cloth you can clean either with or without water. Excellent results are
achieved on all surfaces, without the need for cleaning agents and chemicals, and you protect yourself and the environment.
The secret is in the fibres
PEL-Cloths are manufactured from tiny ultra micro fibres. These micro fibres have such a good, natural cleaning action
compared to normal fibres - breaking down, trapping and absorbing dirt particles so well, that only water is necessary as a
solvent. Our cloths are made from polyester/polyamide ultra micro fibres, which contain no chemicals and give such a good
cleaning effect that only water is needed as a solvent. The fibre mix gives the cloth enormous absorption. When used damp,
the cloths clean all surfaces, especially glass, plastics, stainless steel, chrome, brass and wood. When used dry the cloths have
a natural “positive” charge which attracts “negative” dust. If correctly maintained, in normal use, our products will last for
several years and pay for themselves many times over.
II How to use your PEL-Cloth MicroFibre Cleaning System. It is important to follow these instructions.
Using the PEL-Cloth… DRY
The static effect when using the cloth dry gives it an extremely good accumulation ability for dust and micro particles. Drag the
cloth lightly over the surface to be cleaned and the particles will stick to the cloth. Do not rub hard on plexi glass. Dirt in the cloth
947-3232 Standard could stratch the surface.
Using the PEL-Cloth… DAMP
Wet thoroughly with pure water only, (no soap) completely wring out and fold, then wipe impurities from all dirty surfaces such
as glass, mirrors, aluminium, stainless steel, plastics, treated and untreated woods, tiles, brass etc.
Using the PEL-Cloth… WET
Wet thoroughly with pure water only, (no soap) completely wring out and fold, then use as you would a wet sponge.
Maintenance of the PEL-Cloth
For the cloth to perform correctly, it is necessary to keep the cloth clean with regular washing. The cloth should be hot washed
at 95ºC. It can be machine washed at least 300 times. For small quantities you may choose to boil the cloths in a saucepan for
15 minutes. Use 1/3 of the normal dose of ordinary washing powder. Always wash the cloths separately from other items to
avoid adding fluff to the cloth.
N.B. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. The fabric softener removes the static effect for dry use and bleach breaks down the
micro fibres. Either tumble dry or hang dry. If too much washing powder is used, the fibres become blocked and the performance
of the cloth is reduced. Wash the cloth a few times without any washing powder to remove excess soap.

II Akapad®
PEL is the UK appointed distributor for Akachemie Products. This dry cleaning system has
proven its reliability for over 20 years by conservators who use Wishab for a number of
specific cleaning problems. Akapad is available as a dry sponge in powder-form and as a
spray powder. The usage depends on the type and sensitivity of the artwork being cleaned.
Akapad Sponge is used to carry out convenient and safe dry cleaning of surfaces on paper, walls,
ceilings, pictures, frescos, mural paintings, wallpaper, tapestries, textiles and other surfaces. The
sponge consists of a blue handle with the yellow cleaning layer moulded into it, this layer
restores itself constantly due to the crumb formation process. The soft sponge is used for
sensitive surfaces, the hard sponge for less sensitive base surfaces and the extra hard sponge
for non-sensitive surfaces such as stone. The surfaces to be cleaned must be absolutely dry.
Akapad Powder has been specially developed for dry cleaning of paper documents, it can also
be used on other items. Simply spread the powder over the surface of the object to be cleaned.
Rub the powder over the surface by hand using cotton wool or wearing our cotton gloves. For
tougher applications the powder can be used with soft felt disks on rotating tools. Caution must
prevail with any cleaning method and we advise this is done by a professional conservator.
Akapad soft powder is used for sensitive surfaces such as paper and textiles, the hard powder
for less sensitive surfaces such as sturdy heavy papers, wood etc. The surfaces to be cleaned
must be absolutely dry and not powdery.

II PEL-WaterCushion
When a water disaster strikes the PEL-Water Absorbing
Cushion will be of real assistance in removing water and other
liquids. The absorbing capacity is 10-12 litres in 60 seconds
and amazing 20 litres in 5 minutes. The dimensions are
780mm x 640mm x 5mm, and the cushion is easily handled
and put into place quickly. It requires little storage space, is
lightweight environmentally friendly and are easily disposed of.
Although it only weighs 400 grams, the cushion can absorb
liquids of up to several times its own weight. The tear-resis-

II A. Water Alarm
Works like a smoke detector guarding against water leakage.
Simply place the water sensor in areas where water may
potentially be a danger. The 1.8 metre length cable allows the
alarm to be positioned away from the water sensor ready to
sound. Ideal for remote areas such as cellars, packed storage
areas, hard to reach positions, unstaffed locations and
potential trouble spots. As you do with a smoke detector
periodically check the alarm by pressing the test button. The
85 dB buzzer sounds for 3 days.

BioCote
BioCote is a new, patent-protected powder coating which inhibits the growth of patentially lethal
bacteria and fungi. This reduces the risk of cross-contamination from surfaces with high
contact frequency. Although this is no substitute for correct cleaning practices, the incorpora-
tion of BioCote into the manufacturing process provides users of our products with the peace
of mind that every effort is being made to maintain a hygienic working environment.
II Hazardous Storage
Hazardous substance storage cupboards provide
a secure facility for materials which are required to
be stored when not in use. Supplied with appropriate
safety labelling, the highly visible yellow colour
also ensures awareness of the potential danger of
the materials stored and makes location easy.
Hazardous cupboards are manufactured throughout
from steel, available in full or half height. The secure
storage cupboards are epoxy powder coated in RAL
1003 yellow, supplied with safety labelling accor-
dance with BS 5378 perforated adjustable shelves
