Dear Barbara, Often the vendor McMaster Carr has
excellent informational pages about their products, however for monofilament
they did not. It appears the questions you’re curious about, especially
dimensional change, are answered at the following link, which is an engineering
resource. Unfortunately it appears to be subscription based (or individual
article purchase). http://engineers.ihs.com/document/abstract/XPUVUAAAAAAAAAAA PACIN subscribers will doubtlessly have
other leads if you’re not in the market to pay for this information. Good luck, David Bogosian Chief Preparator From:
pacinlist-bounces@pacin.org [mailto:pacinlist-bounces@pacin.org] On Behalf Of Smith, Barbara B. Does anyone know where to find information on the stability
of monofilament? We have an artifact suspended from monofilament in a display
case. It was installed there about 14 years ago. Will that monofilament
eventually fail/break even though it’s not exposed to sunlight or
extremes of temperature? In other words, should the monofilament be replaced
every ? years or not? Barbara Smith Preparator |
