Museum quality painting panels — neutral pH and acid-free
Ampersand Claybord Textured panels are first sealed with an acrylic emulsion and then coated with an acid-free clay coating formulated for watercolors. It's very important that wood panels be sealed correctly before applying ground or mounting canvas to them so that the painted artwork is protected over time from the natural lignin that exists in wood. Unlike other hardboards made from oak, Ampersand's panels are made from aspen fibers that are more pH balanced. This means you won't ever have to worry about the longevity of your artowork because Ampersand's acid-free and non-yellowing panels are made to withstand the test of time. Compare Claybord Textured to the product you currently paint on and discover its advantages for yourself!
