Marvelseal 360

Description

[James Dawson Enterprises, Ltd.] A registered trademark for a material barrier material made from foil aluminum foil sandwiched between a transparent resin nylon film and a layer of heat sealable polyethylene. The nylon is adhered to the foil with a thin layer of polyethylene. Marvelseal 360 is strong, waterproof, vaporproof, and flexible. Originally made for military applications, Marvelseal 360 has found its way into conservation and has been used to seal wooden packing crates, display cases, and storage shelves since 1980.
