hristiane Berns, responsible for the restoration of artworks in the Fine Arts Collection at the National Museum of History in Luxembourg, is a convinced user of DuPont™ Tyvek® 1622E.

Here are the reasons for her choice:

«For many years, we have been using Tyvek® for the transportation and storage of artworks, especially paintings. This packaging has many advantages and has radically changed the way we work. For example, the flexible and ultra-smooth surface of Tyvek® is ideal for contemporary frameless paintings that are in direct contact with the packaging or with freshly painted oil that has not yet dried. It can also be used to separate two large rolled artworks for storage»

The main characteristic of Tyvek® remains its resistance to the risk of puncture and tearing. It not only effectively protects against UV rays and dust but is also weather-resistant. Its micro perforations prevent condensation, thus radically inhibiting mold growth.

During international air transport, Tyvek® acts as a secondary protection in the insulated boxes. It can be sewn to create protective covers for sculptures.

The ultra-lightweight, foldable, ultra-soft material with anti-static treatment is also very easy to handle, thanks to its wide format (3m) and two lengths (50m and 100m), avoiding excessive and burdensome manipulation. Another advantage is how easy it is to cut and adhere with a cutter. But that’s not all: Tyvek® is reusable and 100% recyclable, making it environmentally friendly.

Another great advantage of Tyvek® is that it allows artworks to travel discreetly while also protecting their identity.

This product, used in museums around the world, offers excellent quality and is completely reliable. In fact, Tyvek® packaging has become a common requirement in transportation contracts.

Its introduction has raised awareness, resulting in a more professional approach to artwork transportation. This is evidenced by conservation reports, as the problems caused by transportation at the entrance and exit of museums have significantly decreased.

Tyvek® is the optimal packaging for artworks in museums, galleries, and transportation companies. Personally, I wouldn’t know how to work without Tyvek®, as evidenced by the volume of our orders!
