Thank you!
Greetings!

Thank you so much for taking the time to learn more about SmallCorp, manufacturer of microclimate museum display cases and museum-quality picture frames since 1972.
 
We are always trying to improve our service, and do a better job of communicating our latest products and capabilities. (This newsletter is a part of that effort.) If there's something you wish we did (or something you wish we didn't do), I hope you'll let us know.
 
 
Latest News
 
SmallCorp introduces new line of Silica Gel products
 
We offer Silica Gel dry, or conditioned to meet your needs, either in bulk or ready to use in the following forms: 

Our Refillable Silica Gel Cartridge is 4" x 1" x 10", with custom sizes available.  Designed to transpire through both sides, it holds 500g of gel and stands on edge for maximum air exposure.

The Silica Gel Pouch is 8" x 4" x 1/2" and holds 250g of gel.  It transpires through both sides and is easily shapeable to fit in irregular spaces.

Silica Gel Forms
 

Our Silica Gel Tiles are available in 1/4", 1/2" and 1" thicknesses. Standard size is 4"x10", with custom sizes available. Flow-through design allows for optimal air contact with gel.  Ready-to-use tiles fit beneath the display deck in SmallCorp cases.

 

Did you know that Silica Gel can be reconditioned and re-used? SmallCorp reconditions silica gel for our customers, and we also offer reconditioning devices that allow you to recondition the gel yourself.  We have a standard unit as well as a mobile device to rapidly recondition large amounts of gel for traveling exhibits. 

 

To learn about how much silica gel you need, or how to re-condition it, we have added silica gel  calculators to our website.

Back by Popular Demand

Due to the large number of recent requests, we are again stocking Acrylite Clear FF  3/16" x 91" x 150" as well as Lucite .220" x 108" x 192". We have a large inventory of acrylic sheet available in clear, UV, and also the anti-reflective Optium line.  Please give us a call for your acrylic needs.

SmallTray - Archival Storage

The SmallTray is a rigid, protective tray designed to support works of art in display frames or storage. When properly glazed and sealed it is archival, airtight, and water-resistant. Made from a rigid aluminum sandwich material with a polyethylene core, the standard tray has a white polyester coating inside and out. It is available in custom sizes up to 40" x 60" in depths from ¼" to 3".

We can add a pressure change buffering diaphragm or RH indicator if you like.  Contact us to learn more.
