I have in my hand a piece of regular foam core which is acid buffered. Which is treated a little bit to ensure that the piece that touches your frame art is not going to be damaged by this product. It has a foam in the middle which gives it a little cushion. It will give you good protection for 5-10 years at the most; it's not a longevity thought, it is adequate material to use. It will be my second choice and if I had something that I wanted to keep forever, I don't know that I would use this either. But if I had something that was just the whimsical thing or something that didn't mean a whole lot to my heart, that is where I would turn is to regular foam core.
