Black Acid-Free Foam Core Board 3/16

Black Acid-Free Foam Core Details

FCblk is black Gilman acid-free foam core for lightweight backing and mounting. Its dark face and edge are useful where white backing would remain visible.

The board is lightweight and rigid, and it is cut to the width and height entered for the order. It can serve as backing or as a support for an attachment method selected for the artwork.

Best Uses

Choose this board for photographs, prints, posters, display graphics, and mounting projects where a black surface or exposed dark edge contributes to the finished presentation. Acid-free board is one component of a complete preservation approach; the attachment method and every material touching the artwork also matter.

Material and Functional Characteristics

The black face and core keep visible edges dark. This board is not self-adhesive; select hinges, corners, or another mounting method appropriate for the artwork.
