RE: coroplast



Bob,

I would be skeptical using the coroplast as dividers. Reason being, I believe the edges of the plastic are hard on frames. Cut coroplast is fairly sharp and would have a tendency to scar frames much easier than blue board or regular cardboard. As for as I know the cheaper material is very well suited to use in a non-contact situation.

Concerning corrugated plastic sheet, such as Coroplast, can anyone offer info regarding the use of archival vs. the regular (much less expensive) material. (I undertand the archival material is made without UV and anti-static additives, etc.) Is it a reasonable idea to use the less expensive material in non-object-contact situations, such as dividers between framed works in bin storage?
Thank you,
Bob Hellier
