[Art Preservation Services, NY] A former brand name for humidity buffering gel and tiles. Arten Gel tiles are shallow plastic trays that contain [[silica%20gel|silica gel]] enclosed in a nonwoven [[polyolefin|polyolefin]] fabric. The covering allows moisture vapor passage in both directions. Arten Gel tiles were preconditioned to a set humidity, usually 43% RH, to provide a stable moisture content in a closed environment. The Arten Gel has now been replaced by the [[RHapid%20PAK|RHapid PAK]] sheets that provide silica gel in a convenient packaged form.
