BOOK COVERING FILM
|
|
Transparent book jackets made of polyester
film offer a number of benefits:
they protect the cover from dirt and from scuffing as the
book is handled and shelved;
if a cover has powdery red-rotted leather, the jacket contains
it, so that it doesn't rub off on the book's neighbors; transparent
polyester allows the book's cover to be seen and its title
to be read through the jacket;
shelf labels can be attached to the jacket's spine rather
than directly to the book avoiding possible harm to the book
from unstable label adhesives.
Mylar type D, and
Melinex 516,
are two
types of polyester film that are acceptable for archival
book storage and restoration. These polyester films are
free of plasticisers,
ultraviolet inhibitors, dyes, and surface coatings so that
the film does not interact with the material it is intended
to protect and hasten its deterioration. The best known and easiest-to-make polyester jacket is
a simple wrap-around design.
It incorporates flaps, which help hold the jacket on the
book, and which cover and thus protect the edges of the book.
For general use(i.e. school books etc.), we offer a crystal
clear, non-adhesive film supplied in small standard size
rolls.
