The Time Capsule Interior

PASSIVE PROTECTION: A dry interior is the most important factor in preserving material in the Time Capsule. Seventy-five to one hundred year time capsules that we open today reveal contents that, although they may be faded, brittle or fragile, are acceptable and readable.
When using the passive method of protection the Time Capsule should be sealed on a cold day with low humidity or in an air-conditioned room.
Amalco provides a desiccant that is sealed in the Time Capsule, which will not damage the contents. With each Time Capsule and lid Amalco includes an extremely strong and water-resistant adhesive. This provides the correct bond, fills gaps and voids and adds great resistance to water and chemicals intrusion.


Finishing the Time Capsule

The time capsule finish is a pleasing soft metallic patina. A special satin emery finish can be added if the capsule is going to be displayed or be the focus of a ceremony.
