Humidity and temperature fluctuations are enemies of artworks. Let's find out why.

Humidity and temperature are among the most important variables to consider and monitor for the preservation and protection of artworks from potential damage. The factors that can significantly affect the level of humidity and temperature inside museums are certainly the external climatic conditions, but also the more or less numerous presence of visitors and the lighting systems. Wood, parchment, leather, or fabrics are highly hygroscopic materials, which can therefore be damaged by a rapid change in humidity, causing significant deformations such as warping of sheets or a change in the size of the plant fibers in wood.  To best preserve the characteristics and qualities of artworks, it is essential that the temperature remains as constant as possible, avoiding fluctuations in humidity. To provide an optimal solution, after years of research in the Propagroup laboratories, our researchers have developed Propadyn Museart, the dynamically stabilizing system capable of maintaining a constant level of humidity.

Propadyn Museart has been designed to regulate and stabilize humidity at the desired relative humidity level, effectively and immediately to avoid sudden fluctuations. Artworks will thus be protected from potential damage during transport, storage, or display in the showcase within the museum.
