Innovations in the Use of Paraloid B-72® As a Surface Adhesive Method for Conservation of Bones and Fossils

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