Innovations in the Use of Paraloid B-72® As a Surface Adhesive Method for Conservation of Bones and Fossils
Year: 2023
Type: article
Abstract: Consolidation and adhesion processes are key in the structural conservation of bones and fossils. It is therefore necessary to choose the most suitable products to ensure proper preservation of these cultural assets, evaluating their adhesion power, chemical compatibility, reversibility, stability and minimal interference with future analyses. For this purpose, we are putting forward a new way of using Paraloid B-72®, presenting a new application format as an adhesive in sheets, which can be prepared with different concentrations, formats and drying times. Its adhesive efficacy, penetration capacity and reversibility have been tested, showing good results for its application in the conservation and restoration treatments of these cultural assets.
