Application of Chemicals in the Restoration of Monuments

Abstract:

Monuments are precious historical and cultural heritages, they are non-renewable cultural resources, the authenticity of monuments lies in the value of cultural relics, protecting the monument’s historical value and reflecting the complete history characteristics in particular historical period are the restoration principles of monuments. This paper proposed the attentions of applied chemicals in the restoration of monuments by introducing the application of chemicals in monument’s anti-corrosion treatment of wooden components, reinforcement of wooden components, protection of masonry as well as masonry reinforcement etc. Chemicals can effectively protect the unique historical, scientific and artistic value of monuments, chemicals and chemical technology will have broad application prospects in the field of monument restoration technology.
