Diase is a long time proven face-mounting process. C type prints are mounted to exhibition standards without borders and eliminate the need for a traditional picture frame. Diasec® is the registered trademark for the original method of face-mounting prints, such as photographs on acrylic sheet. The process was invented by Heinz Sovilla-Brulhart in Switzerland in 1969. The process bonds the print without air bubbles, because it uses liquid gel instead of a transparent adhesive film. The image is face mounted and stuck to the acrylic glass with a special s ealant. The Diasec gel is neutral curing and has an inbuilt ultra violet filter. It contains no plasticisers and is resistant to fungicidal, bacterial agents, and airborne pollutants. According to Wikipedia, the most expensive photo ever sold, Andreas Gurskys "99 Cent II Diptychon", was a Diasec.
