I love the smoothness and brightness of Yupo paper and wonder if it can be not only a receptive surface for oils but also an archival one. Thank you so much!
YUPO's durability and attributes yield products that have extremely long wear. YUPO does not need to be stretched, and will not buckle with the use of water. Caution should be used with using hair dryers to speed drying. Buckles may remain after heat is applied.
YUPO is an acid-free synthetic made from 100% polypropylene. It is an inert and chemically stable product which requires no buffering. Bi-axially Oriented Polypropylene (BOPP) has excellent clarity, low electrostatic charge, and is safe for long-term storage.
To continue with what Gary stated above, YUPO is a totally inert material and therefore is completely archival, however the composition of the oils being used will ultimately determine the painting's overall longevity.
