I’ve never used the blue colored ethafoam so I’m not sure of its long-term suitability. I would suggest posting this question over on the PACCIN listserv. Someone there may have expertise with it.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Blue Ethafoam?

 

Hi all,

 

Does anyone have experience with light blue Ethafoam? Another department donated a bunch to us, and I'd like to use it for long-term artifact storage as it is really soft and nice. This datasheet from Dow suggests that light blue foam is no different than the white. No color was seen to transfer when rubbed vigorously on white paper, and we plan to do an Oddy test tomorrow. Any thoughts are welcome. Thanks!
