Filmoplast P90 | white | Repair and mounting tapes

Long live the book, so bookbinders say. Besides the usual preservative measures, a restorator decides to take further action when the expressiveness of a piece or artwork is at stake or if it is about to loosing its substance. In former times, a satisfactory appearance of damaged artwork was pursued, whereas nowadays, we know that even the most careful cleaning or fixing imply an inevitable infringement into the history of an object. Nowadays, the ethical aim is a minimally invasive restoration. All measures should be reversible.

Preservation and prevention

The ravages of time gnaw on books, paintings and graphics. After completion of a piece of artwork, an inexorable natural ageing process begins more or less quickly. The changes of the physical and chemical specifications have impact not only on the outer appearance, but also lead to a successive decay of the object. Any measure taken to preserve the traditional, historically grown, state of the artwork belongs to conservation. The tools and preservative agents chosen are supposed to enable individual, object-related preservation of the artwork. Prevention includes measures serving to reduce prophylactically the extent of all unnatural changes and damages of the original.

Collection and exhibition supplies

Where cultural assets such as books, paintings or graphics are collected, special measures for their preservation and care have been developed. Nowadays, there are special materials and ancillaries enabling the optimum storage and handling of sensitive objects. ''Collecting, preserving, researching and teaching'' is the educational duty of anybody taking care of our cultural heritage. The objects being exhibited have to be transported, handled and presented in an appropriate and professional way. For this purpose, we have a wide range of special tools, materials and ancillary.

Developed back in 1981 in the Atelier Hugo Peller in collaboration with the Centro del bel libro in Ascona, the colours of AscoColor® still represent the reference for high-quality marbling colours.

In addition to the traditional oil-based marbling paints, we have expanded our portfolio of marbling paints under the AscoColor eco brand in 2021, focusing on environmental compatibility.
