Gelled cleaning systems for acrylic emulsion paints: a scientific literature review
Resumo
Acrylic emulsion paints have been widely used in art since the ‘60s. Their good optical properties and versatility triggered their rapid incorporation into the artistic field. Thus, becoming one of the most internationally recognizable techniques. Since then, many artists have employed these synthetic products and their derivatives to do their works, forming extensive collections that nowadays show considerable conservation problems. The main concern regarding the degradation of this kind of artwork is the intrinsic relationship with their composition and ageing properties. In general, acrylic films are very sensitive to organic solvents and water, so traditional cleaning methods are unsuitable for their intervention. This paper puts a relevant part of the scientific literature concerning new cleaning methods based on aqueous and gelled systems.
