Passive Microclimate Environmental Control

While simple in theory, in practice, passive microclimate installations are most successful when a number of factors are considered. Foremost amongst them are:

• the humidity level and range desired
• the ambient conditions outside the enclosure
• the size of the enclosure
• the materials used to construct the enclosure
• the leakage rate of the enclosure
• the duration of the exhibition
• the composition and size of the artefact
• the type and quantity of passive buffer (such as ProSorb)

ProSorb Humidity Buffer Cassette

We are proud to be the Canadian representative for PROsorb humidity stabilizers.

PROsorb is a state-of-the-art buffering compound for humidity control in museum showcases, and is especially effective at humidity levels commonly found in museum display environments.
