Recently, there was a question, I think, about ACRYLITE for use as a
top for a lightbox (sorry I no longer have the original post). I
suspect ACRYLITE may have been recommended as a means of protecting
photographic materials from excessive exposure to UV rays, though I
hasten to add that this is pure speculation on my part. Following is
the partial text of an advertisement for CYRO ACRYLITE appearing in
the July Issue of >AIC News< published by The American Institute for
Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works:

"ACRYLITE OP-3 sheet provides optimum protection from damaging
ultraviolet light so crucial in the preservation of historical
documents. ACRYLITE OP-2 UV filtering sheet delivers exceptional edge
color while affording breakage resistance and security in display
vitrines. And, both ACRYLITE OP-2 and OP-3 are backed by CYRO - North
America's largest producer of acrylic materials.

For all the facts call toll free 1-800-631-5384. Or write D. Artz,
CYRO Industries, P.O. Box 5055, 100 Enterprise Drive, Rockaway, NJ
07866. In Canada: CYRO Canada Inc., 6285 Northam Drive, Suite 300,
Mississauga, Ontario L4V 1X5 (905) 677-1388 or (800) 268-4743."
