270 Series: MSC Acrylic Humidification Domes

Moisture treatments on fragile items like pastels, charcoals and watercolors can be done with precision and ease with the MSC Acrylic Humidification Dome.  Available separately from the MSC PCT-E Package, the MSC Acrylic Humidification Dome can either attach to the back of any existing MSC Suction platen, or be used separately as a standalone humidification chamber.

APPLICATION

Connect an Ultrasonic Humidifier to the moisture intake port on either side of the dome.  The acrylic dome retains a desired humidity level during treatments such as moisture relaxation, conditioning, wetting and relining.  Lightweight and optically clear, it is easy to observe and perform treatments on works of art inside of the humidification dome.  Unscrew the lid on one of the circular inspection ports to allow entry into the dome without releasing the entire moistened atmosphere. 

The MSC Acrylic Humidification Dome package includes:

• Acrylic Dome with screw-in inspection ports for easy access
• Moisture intake ports on either side, plus one intake port cap
• Aluminum support frame with foam lining

FEATURES

Using the hinge attachment installation kit, the clear acrylic curved dome attaches and detaches on the back side of any MSC Suction Platen with spring-loaded quick-release stainless steel hinges.  Install removable air pistons to the dome and platen to support the dome when raised and keep it raised with no extra effort.  Detailed installation instructions are included with the hinge attachment kit. Installation is easy and requires minimum tools for setup.

Each dome is approximately 17 inches (43 cm) in height.  Inspection ports are 6 inches (15 cm) tall.  Domes include an outside aluminum frame to protect the edges and prevent warping while raising and lowering.  Smaller dome sizes may require only one air piston rather than two.

Hinge and Air Piston attachment hardware is sold separately.  Custom dome sizes and configurations are available; call or email to inquire. 

MSC Acrylic Humidification Domes ship via truck freight.  Contact MuseuM Services Corporation for a quotation.
