Glassine is most commonly used as a protective interleaf or overlay for drawings, prints, and photos. Resistant to air, water, and oily materials. Glassine can also be used as a release liner, and adhesive tape is usually rendered removable. When used as a protective overlay for paintings, paints must be thoroughly dried or cured paint may adhere to the glassine and damage the surface of the painting. It is not recommended as a wrap for paintings over long periods of time. Made in the USA.
ABOUT US
Since 1910, Borden & Riley has built a loyal grassroots following for its specialty artist paper products. Generations of fine artists, illustrators, calligraphers, and drafters have been introduced to these specialized papers unique to their craft.
Borden & Riley has a long history of paper manufacturing in New York City. In 2018, the Woodward family of Queens, NY passed the baton of stewardship to Chartpak, and the Borden & Riley company joined our family of brands. We continue to maintain the standards set by the founders of this favored brand of paper and continue pad and roll production in the US within our Leeds, Massachusetts facilities.
