In cultural heritage preservation, controlling temperature and humidity is critical to safeguarding priceless artifacts. From paintings, photographs, and documents to color films and metal objects – all are highly sensitive to climate fluctuations.
International research (Smithsonian, Kodak, IPI) confirms:
- Color films are best preserved in cold storage (–10 °C to 4 °C) with relative humidity of 20–30%, extending their life for decades or even centuries.
- Paintings, paper, archives, films, and tapes require stable conditions around 18–22 °C and 45–55% RH to prevent mold, fading, and deformation.
- Metal artifacts corrode quickly above 55% RH, requiring strict humidity control.
