Does it make any sense to use zeolites in matboard as contaminant blockers?
Zeolites, in simple terms, act like ‘sponges’ within the matboard, to absorb and trap harmful substances that are naturally occurring in wood pulp based board. But once ‘the sponges’ or Zeolites are full, the evidence of their effectiveness still remains inconclusive. So Crescent Europe, prefers to follow FATG guidelines, and recommend cotton based matboards when only the BEST will do. Added on this, all the boards in the GOOD and BETTER categories are pH neutral.
