Tips to preserve your artwork from getting yellow | Wilsonmoulding

One of the main reasons photos and other papers turn yellow, even when protected in a frame, is because they’re exposed to naturally occurring acidic materials. Paper-based materials contain lignin (a chemical in wood pulp) which can produce acid as it ages and deteriorates. This is what causes photos, documents, and artwork exposed to or produced on lignin-containing materials to discolor. Another common cause of discoloration is exposure to UV light. Order picture frame from Wilsonmoulding, a museum quality framer who tries their best to protect your artwork from yellowing.

  1. Introduction Introduction Everyone loves to frame and display special pictures, documents, art and other keepsakes. Sadly, these mementos can discolor and yellow with age after some time. Good thing that with the use of the right custom picture frame, there is a way for you to prevent deterioration and yellowing of your precious mementos.

  2. Choose the Right Frame Material Choose the Right Frame Material Personalized picture frames alone will not be able to prevent yellowing when the rest of the materials used during the framing process are not pH neutral or contain lignin. Metal custom art framing will not cause any yellowing from the frame since their pH are naturally neutral. Wood pictures on the other hand usually contain some lignin that can result to yellowing although other materials and the appropriate techniques can be used for protecting your art or photo from the wooden frame itself.
