Black core conservation mountboard ?

Hi
Is there such a thing as White /cream with Black core conservation mountboard ? Or is coloured core mountboard just not conservation level?
Thanks in advance

Most uk suppliers state the FATG levels for their boards

Nielsen’s Artcare range has black/coloured core boards which have the same spec as the rest of the artcare range plus solid blacks and even a solid black alphaRAG board.

Just use a conservation quality barrier board?

Simple answer is no. You can get solid black in cotton, but any black core with white or cream face paper isn’t Level 2 Conservation. It would be Level 4 Standard board.

John mentioned Nielsen boards - a lot of their coloured core and solid core have been discontinued.

Jim’s suggestion of using a barrier board is a good one. Or paint the bevel black maybe?

Thanks for these suggestions, much appreciated.

Nielsen still have two off whites on black core in their artcare range as well as soild black - which could be used in a double mount. As for them being conservation, well, they're in their artcare "active protection" range.

I know they have discontinued a whole load of mount colours so maybe this is only while stocks last.
