Abstract

Gore-Tex® membrane, made of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene, laminated to a non-woven polyester fabric and made into envelopes with a zip lock closure, has been used for shipment and storage of archeological finds, feathers, furs, leather, textiles and museum specimens. Laboratory and simulated warehouse studies showed that these envelopes also have the potential for protecting woolens against larvae of the black carpet beetle, Attagenus unicolor (Brahm), the furniture carpet beetle, Anthrenus flauipes LeConte, and the webbing clothes moth, Tineola bisselliella (Hummel).
