What is BS EN 17036 - Artificial ageing by simulated solar radiation of the surface of untreated or treated porous inorganic materials about?
BS EN 17036 discusses the conservation of cultural heritage.
BS EN 17036 assesses the long-term susceptibility to the light of materials and treatments used in conservation of porous inorganic materials. Examples may include materials that have been treated in the course of conservation (e.g. cleaning, consolidation, water repellents, coatings or biocides) or materials that may exhibit colour changes following exposure (e.g. mortars and small number of stones). BS EN 17036 can help to evaluate the impact and longevity/durability of treatments against untreated materials or unexposed materials.
Who is BS EN 17036 - Artificial ageing by simulated solar radiation of the surface of untreated or treated porous inorganic materials for?
BS EN 17036 on conservation of cultural heritage is useful for:
- Building owners
- Building authorities
- Testing laborites
- Conservators
Why should you use BS EN 17036 - Artificial ageing by simulated solar radiation of the surface of untreated or treated porous inorganic materials?
The materials and the treatment used in the conservation should prevent the damage of cultural heritage from solar radiation.
BS EN 17036 provides a method for artificial ageing using simulated solar radiation that involves a limited number of variables which can be controlled more readily and which are intensified to evaluate in a short way the stability of porous inorganic materials and the durability of conservation treatments.
