I find this surprising. The people who supplied my styrene mounted prints have mounted fine art on it. Styrene is considered inert and does not oxidise. Aluminium sheet oxidises from day one. I have just been to look at some pieces of styrene which I have had for over 30 years and they are as good as new. Aluminium of the same vintage is nothing like as good on the surface.
(In honesty I have to say that the examples are not used as art materials)

Unfortunately I can't use styrene, it's not considered archival.
I will visit a few photography galleries and ask the owners what their opinion is.
