Oxydation protection for artworks

Protect your works of art from oxidation and corrosion by preventing the presence of oxygen in the environment.

Oxidation in works of art is one of the main factors in the deterioration of pieces with metal components or those sensitive to humidity and oxygen. This category brings together technical solutions aimed at preventive conservation, designed to protect works of art, cultural heritage and collections from corrosion and environmental degradation.

Solutions for protection against oxidation

Microclimate control is essential to minimise the risks of oxidation in museum environments, archives, temporary exhibitions and artwork storage. The combination of humidity control and oxygen reduction stabilises environmental conditions and prolongs the life of materials.

Oxygen reduction in packaging and storage

In certain preventive conservation contexts, oxygen reduction is key to slowing down the corrosion of metals and alloys present in works of art. For this reason, it is important to have oxygen absorbers to eliminate oxidation.

We offer the following solutions for oxidation:

• VCI coils
• VCI plastic bags
• VCI tablets
• VCI diffusers
• Oxygen absorbers
• Oxygen indicators
• Aluminium film
• Annoxiflex

Applications in preventive conservation and heritage

These solutions are suitable for museums, private collections, galleries, restorers and cultural heritage professionals. They are used in display cases, packaging for transport, long-term storage and environmentally controlled storage facilities.

Benefits and technical characteristics

Systems for protecting works of art against oxidation help to reduce corrosion, stabilise sensitive materials and prevent irreversible damage. Their application is simple, non-invasive and compatible with preventive conservation criteria. In addition, they allow controlled microclimates to be created without altering the work or its presentation.
