KLUG-CONSERVATION starch-based fabric tape with guming on the back side is now manufactured without the usage of optical brightening agents.

This tape is used within the preservation field for the manufacture of conservation quality mats and mounts, in the picture framing industry and also for making preservation folders. It is free of optical brightening agents and dyes, thus, in the event of water damage, there is no risk of the dye bleeding or any damage due to optical brightening agents.
