ColorMount is not considered to be an archival material. BufferMount is the archival stuff---neutral pH and it is possible to reverse the mounting process with BufferMount, although not with the greatest of ease. BufferMount sets after the print/tissue/board assembly is removed from the press during cooling, necessitating firm and even pressure for several minutes as it cools. ColorMount, I¹m pretty sure, bonds in the heat of the press. Harry.
