An international loan is one of the most delicate moments in the life of a work of art. Between departure from storage and return, months can pass: air or road transit, customs warehouses, exhibition spaces with different climate control systems. Throughout this time the work remains inside a crate or climate box, and what puts it at risk is not the journey itself — it is the instability of relative humidity that the journey brings with it.

The problem: a microclimate that constantly changes

Temperature fluctuations in cargo holds, variations between continents, days of storage in uncontrolled environments. Each transition is an opportunity for the RH inside the packaging to drift away from the ideal value. And in a closed, confined space like a crate, variations can be even more rapid than in a gallery.

The solution: passive stabilization, independent of power supply

A dynamic stabilizer placed inside the packaging maintains RH at the set value for the entire journey, without requiring power supply: an essential requirement when the work moves from one transport mode to another and an electrical outlet simply is not available. Propadyn Museart functions in any climate — from desert to tropics — absorbing and releasing moisture to compensate for every fluctuation, and arrives ready to use, without pre-conditioning.

Safe even in the confined space of the crate

In a sealed volume, chemical purity is as important as stability: a material that releases volatile compounds risks damaging precisely what it should protect. Propadyn Museart is Oddy Test certified, non-deliquescent and releases neither liquids nor dust — it can remain in contact with the work for the entire duration of the loan.
