Is this tape acid-free? Or is there a tape that is acid-free? Thank you.

Is this what people use to frame/seal paintings as well? - on the back of the frame.

Typically, book tape is acid free and typically if a tape is acid free they will print it somewhere on the box large enough to see as a sell point/justification for it's higher price. No where on the box or on 3M's website does it flat out say/clam this tape is acid free. Acrylic and Non-Yellowing is all it says, which could translate to acid free, I guess, as the yellowing is due to acids.

No, but it seems to be the next best thing! 3M/Scotch replied to me: Our Book Tape #845 is not acid free but will not deteriorate over time causing possible damage and subsequent repair. If you need any further assistance, please feel free to contact us directly at 1-800-328-6276. We are available Monday through Friday from 8:00 - 4:30 CT.

I came on Amazon today to buy more book tape, and don't see the one I've been using - Scotch Book Tape 845-AF, which is acid free. It is in a purple box.I will probably buy this one in the red box, since I mostly tape up board books for children & so its not too important for preservation since the kids I care for are pretty hard on books. I believe I bought the acid-free tape on a website geared towards librarians.

Yes, the tape is acid-free. If you do a Google search and find it on other websites, that tidbit is included in their description. Since it's an archival quality library tape, acid-free is implied.

As others have mentioned, it does not say on the box 'acid free'. But I've used it as a library worker and on my own books at home for many years now and none of them have turned yellow.

The package doesn't specify the exact ph, but acid free should mean the ph is 7 (neutral) or slightly above 7. Hope this helps.

The tape is not coated, but a composite type, i.e., made from some colored polymer, don't know what, but verytough. I am very pleased with it. Oh, you will need some very sharp scissors to cut it cleanly.

Instead of being a cellophane tape such as packaging tape, this is a vinyl tape. very flexible, with a mild resin type adhesive which seems to peel right off glass and woodwork without leaving residue or harming the surface. I have been impressed with it and plan on using this product again.

The 085 is for 1/4" tape. The 714 is for 1/2" tape. Whether you buy acid-free tape or not is up to you.

You can use it without the tape gun. You can use it as a double stick tape and peel the backing paper off easy enough. You'll want to leave a lead piece to wrap around the sticky part that remains. I've used it for years for artwork the acid-free is great. It is however much easier to use with the gun and I consider it a good investment.

No acid, it's a gel sealed battery. That being said, however, the one I received was completely dead and would not charge, nor hold a charge. The seller refunded my money and asked me to order a new one, but I didn't take the chance and went with a different brand.

You can use black sharpie and it doesn't bleed, it's a plastic strip. Not really tape....

I have looked all over the packaging and it doesn't say they are acid free, so I am not sure.

I do not know whether or not it is acid-free but It is safe for long term storage, I think the reason mine was ripped a little is because of delivery issues.

As far as I know, all the tapes have the same adhesive. I also do not think they will leave residue like other tapes. I would try it on an inconspicuous spot to see.

I am not sure if they are acid free. I have been using mine for a filing system for my customer files. The box is good. Although I suggest if you are looking to store pictures in them, if the boxes are going to be moved around a lot, you might want to look elsewhere because when you move this box the snaps come undone a lot.

The answer is yes if the are labeled "Acid Free No PVC." I have them and I am using them for archival storage of 60+ year old slides. I keep the sheets in an air tight plastic container which is also acid free and no PVCs.

I don't know how to respond to this ? . It depends on which tape. Ck you records the last shipment is great tape. The tape before this last shipment was terrible. Last shipment of tape is great. Really good tape , and I have been taping my mouth for 9 yrs ( I have Sleep Apena) .

This particular tape is archival or acid free;therefore, there is no discoloration in time.

No where on the package or on the inserted instructions does it say "acid free", so I am inclined to say these are not archival safe. I myself use them in multimedia art projects. They print up beautifully. I seal my images with Aileen's Matte spray sealer after printing.
