This presentation presents an overview of polymer coatings for outdoor cultural heritage. The presentation defines cultural heritage, examines deterioration causes, discusses polymer usage for protecting bronze and stone monuments, and offers a look forward. The presentation was created for the Waterborne Symposium, New Orleans, La. March 1-4, 2011.

- 1. Polymer Issues in Conservation and Preservation of Cultural Heritage By Mary F. Striegel, National Center for Preservation Technology and Training
- 2. ===== Act I
- 3. The objects that make up a portion of our cultural heritage have physical lives.
- 4. Over time, they respond to their environments and break down from natural or manmade causes.
- 5. NCPTT was created to develop or transfer new technologies to the world of historic preservation.
- 6. NCPTT works with a variety of partners to advance preservation techniques.
- 7. Without the ability to develop new improved coatings for use with cultural materials, many of these treasures will be lost.
- 8. New technologies hold the promise of new ways to study and conserve our cultural heritage.
- 9. We must engage interdisciplinary teams to apply new polymer systems can help preserve cultural objects for future generations.
- 10. ===== Act II, Scene 1
- 11. What is Cultural Heritage? KellyMullaney, “Cultural Exhibits during Hispanic Heritage Family Day,” October 21, 2008, online image, flickr.
- 12. Architectural buildings and structures. . .
- 13. Archeological sites and collections. . .
- 14. Art or historical collections. . .
- 15. Parks, gardens and other landscapes can all be considered cultural heritage.
- 16. Cultural Heritage can be internationally significant or highly personal.
- 17. ===== Act II, Scene 2
- 18. Cultural resources are subjected to many agents of deterioration.
- 19. Natural decay goes unchecked from lack of understanding of chemical/physical properties.
- 20. Decay is a result of complex factors that lead to loss of integrity.
- 21. Air pollution interacts with stone to produce weathering products and accelerates decay.
- 22. Subsequentrains wash away the stone resulting in a “melting” of outdoor sculpture.
- 23. Metal Corrosion
- 26. Biological Organisms Grow in an amazing variety of environments Micro-organisms can: produce corrosive compounds consume compounds that inhibit corrosion The presence of biological organisms almost always increases corrosion rates in metals and deterioration rates in stone.
- 27. Inherent vice
- 29. Respect and retain original material
- 30. Minimize impact
- 31. Understand treatments and materials used
- 33. Polymers Used in Conservation
- 35. Brush Application of a microcrystalline wax coating
- 37. Spray Application of an Incralac Coating
- 39. Types of Stone Consolidants Inorganic materials Organic polymers Alkoxysilanes Conversion treatments
- 40. Inorganic Materials Alkali silicates Calcium hydroxide Barium hydroxide Silicofluorides
- 41. Organic Polymers Acrylic Epoxy Polyurethane
- 42. Alkoxysilanes Ethyl silicate (TEOS) Methyl trimethoxysilane Methyl triethoxysilane
- 43. HCT is a conversion treatment recently developed for calcareous substrates. Treatment converts calcium carbonate to a more stable mineral.

Mellon Foundation, July 6-7, 2009
- 58. Engage interdisciplinary teams to apply new polymer systems that can help preserve cultural objects for future generations.
- 59. Create collaboration and outreach through conferences, publications, and social media to bring together new teams and unique approaches.

Notas do Editor
- Cultural heritage is deteriorating from both natural and manmade causes.Mausoleum at La Ricoleta in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Here we see the results of water damage, stucco loss, and vegetation.
- The National Center for Preservation Technology and Training is an office of the National Park Service.It was created by an act of Congress in 1994 to develop or transfer technologies into the field of historic preservation. We work in the fields of architecture, engineering, archeology, collections, materials conservation, and landscapes.
- Nondestructive testing is a tool for preservationists to study cultural heritage.The surface loss on this stone balustrade is an example of problems that could be approached with nondestructive testing. What is the nature of the flaws in this stone? Are salts and moisture contributing to the damage? Can stone consolidants be used to prevent further loss?
- Cultural heritage is defined as the material artifacts and intangible attributes of a people or a culture that are inherited from past generations.
- Cultural heritage can take the form of historic buildings and structures.Historic structures may include fine architectural examples or places of historic significance.Above, Slave quarters at Magnolia PlantationBelow preservation of brick wall, part of NCPTT sponsored workshop on fortificiations.
- Cultural heritage includes archeological sites. Here we see NCPTT student intern Fran Ritchie working at Magnolia Plantation, Louisiana, ground truthing a location that was recorded with ground penetrating radar.
- Cultural heritage can include fine arts or other collections, like the ethnographic objects seen here. NCPTT has funded Dr. Timberly Roane at University of Colorado , Denver, to study use of micro-organisms for removal of mercury and arsenic once used as pesticides on these objects.
- The way a culture interacts with the landscape may also be considered cultural heritage. Planned and maintained landscapes, such as a cemetery or an historic park are cultural heritage.
- Natural decay cannot be properly treated without understanding of the chemical and physical causes.This grave marker has suffered surface loss likely due to rising damp and moisture issues.
