Microchamber paper with honeycomb watermark
MicroChamber Paper is a thin sheet of paper infused with SPZ zeolite molecules which have the ability to absorb and neutralize acids and pollutants such as those released by the collection itself. They are an essential part of animation art preservation.
Collectors should slip a piece of microchamber paper in front or behind their cels to absorb any off gassed fumes. If placing microchamber behind a cel please consider placing a sheet of clear plastic between the cel paint and microchamber paper to prevent the paint from sticking to the microchamber paper.
Note: When purchasing microchamber paper it will not always have the honeycomb watermark. Due to manufacturer issues they no longer produce microchamber paper with the watermark.
Other storage products using Microchamber/Zeolite technology include backing boards and art storage boxes.
