Textile competence for museums

In order to preserve paintings, sculptures or historical works of arts over the long term, they need protection against any damaging effects. The use of suitable materials therefore plays a decisive role when setting up exhibition spaces and presenting objects in display cabinets or on displays. Création Baumann has tested the textiles tested for harmful substances based on strict conservation criteria to check their suitability for museums. They meet the highest safety requirements. The test results give curators and exhibition organisers all the necessary information about the textiles.

Oddy-tested textiles with certification

Création Baumann applies strict conservation criteria to check if textiles are suitable for protecting valuable cultural assets. The tested products are clearly marked: Once their pH value has been determined and Oddy tests have been carried out, the fabrics are classified as "Permanent" (P), "Temporary" (T), or "Unusable" (U). The fact that we publish the performance data helps curators around the world to select the most suitable product. A link to the test results (Oddy test, pH, colour fastness) and the corresponding certificate can be found under each product.
