Matboard that truly safeguards your artwork
Bainbridge Alphamat® Artcare incorporates exclusive technology to protect artwork against fading and aging. An archival white core matboard of unparalled consistency and quality, it is noted for ease of cutting and the clean, crisp bevels it produces. Calcium carbonate and unique zeolites within the boards absorb and neutralize pollutants such as acetic acid, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides that might emanate from outside or the material being framed. Subtle texture and a classic color provides the perfect setting for your artwork.

The Artcare Archival System
“Other acid-free foamboards claiming to be ‘archival’ and ‘good enough’ don’t protect against the harmful effects of outgassing. Artcare Archival Foamboard is the only foamboard I would use for conservation framing.”
—Dr. Peter Sparks, preservation consultant and former Director for Preservation, Library of Congress

The Artcare Archival System
“For Protecting Your Artwork, Don’t Settle For Less” When you care enough about a piece of art or keepsake to have it framed, do what the experts do. Use Artcare™ archival products.They’re the choice of the Art Institute of Chicago, J. Paul Getty Museum, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York Public Library, Smithsonian Institution and dozens of other leading museums, libraries and conservation centers.

Artcare matboards and mounting boards are scientifically engineered to actively protect your art from aging, yellowing and fading for generations to come. They create a protective environment for treasured pieces, shielding them against invisible contaminants that cause artwork to fade, photographs to yellow, and both to deteriorate. Calcium carbonate and zeolites within the boards absorb and neutralize pollutants such as acetic acid, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides that might emanate from the material being framed.

That’s why Artcare™ products are used by museums and framers around the world to ensure the best future for priceless artwork and artifacts.
