BINDING MATERIALS FOR THE CONSERVATION AND RESTORATION OF MURAL PAINTING SUPPORT BY IN SITU LUTE APPLICATION

摘要

Diagnosing and arresting the causes as well as the effects of degradation on historic monuments, correlated with the development of products in tune with the basic principles of conservation and restoration of historic monuments, are under a constant concern at a national and international level. To this end, the development of binding materials designed for the conservation and restoration of historic monuments is given special consideration. The present paper addresses the development, application and performance in situ of certain binding materials, featuring compressive strength, resistance to salt crystallisation, adherence to support, and SO_3 and alkali content, and designed for luting gaps in mural painting supports. In addition, a case study is presented: the Doamnei Church of Bucharest, 17th century.
