- Abstract
A large number of wall paintings suffer from many aspects of deterioration such as cracking, surface powdering, losing painted layers and forming colored stains due to biological or salt effects. Surface consolidation, directed to achieve cohesion and stability, is based on the use of materials with aggregating properties. Two products (Paraloid B-72 and SILRES® BS OH 100) were selected to evaluate their efficiency for consolidation treatments of painted surfaces of Hawsh al- Basha courtyard dating back to Mohammed Ali's family period (1805- 1952) in Egypt. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy with Attenuation Total Reflection (FTIR-ATR) and Colorimetric measurements were used in performing the study. The results showed that the stability of the consolidants depended on the chemical composition of the pigments.
