Collection Risks
- Foamboards vary widely in their potential for off-gassing hazardous materials and should be tested prior to use. Boards containing beaded polystyrene may release beads from cut edge.
- Dibond is composed of inert materials (Aluminum and Polyethylene) that are normally considered safe for housing and displaying collection materials.
