I am out of the office from Dec. 26 through January 8, 2006. If this email requires immediate attention please forward it to my colleague Nancy Russell at nrussell@getty.edu.  Thank you.

I was asked by a colleague to inquire of the list about the use of Ultrasuede #3623 Sable for use in display case interiors.
This is not a material we use. I know I have seen some information on this but I do not recall where. 
While we have found information showing that some colors of this material have passed tests for use in cases. The only data we have in-house is a test run many years ago for a different color that did not pass tests for use.
The request to use this material comes with too short a window of time to allow for new testing, so any experience with this product would be of great assistance to one of our peers who is under the gun.
Thanks for any help you may be able to provide on this.
