Diasec is an archival mounting and framing method.
It is the process of mounting and sealing a print between two substrates – acrylic glass and Dibond® - to create a rigid, high-quality, exhibition standard artwork.
The process was invented by Heinz Sovilla-Brulhart in 1969 and is still the preferred method of archival mounting across the globe.
Artwork is first printed onto a fine art or photographic paper of your choice.
The print is then face-mounted, image side up, to transparent acrylic glass (Perspex) using advance mounting techniques and a series of chemicals.
Adhesion of the print takes place chemically when two liquid components come into contact and thus leaves the print archivally sealed - dust and air free.
The back of the print is then mounted onto Dibond® - an aluminium and plastic composite sheet. Sandwiched between the acrylic glass and Dibond®, the print is left perfectly flat with a high-gloss finish.
