Abstract
The project aims at researching the short-term and long-term drying reactions of historical and industrial paints, mainly relying on the use of metallic driers. A deeper understanding of the (mis-) use of driers through history up to date, as well as their effect on stability and aesthetic of painted objects will be offered. Interactions of inorganic and organic in historical and industrial paintings and coatings are being monitored by the use of synchrotron based and laboratory micro-imaging techniques (μXRF, μXAS, μXRD and μFTIR) available at the ESRF as a host facility. Observations of the formation, spatial distribution in 2D (in depth and in plane) and stability of metallic driers and of secondary crystallized compounds in historical and in model paints will offer to Rijksmuseum as a partner and to the global community of conservators, a valuable insight into the conservation issues of painted works of art. Similarly, AkzoNobel as an industrial collaborator, will be guided towards the development of products with a better health and safety profile and improved performance.
