Cleaning, restoration and conservation of murals and decorative paintings are three vastly different definitions. Murals get dirty over time. To wash them with a non-invasive cleanser is to “clean” them. You could clean a mural with de-ionized water or mild cleansers. Blowing the dust off with light compressed air, soft bristle brushing or chemical sponging is also considered cleaning. Once we step from a surface dirt removal to a yellowed varnish removal, or penetrated dirt removal, we have entered the conservator’s field.

Conservators are controlled by a strict code of ethics of the American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works. These ethics are simply out of respect for the original artist. It is important to use the least aggressive material to strip the varnish so that the original artist’s work is preserved.

Field And Laboratory Studies On The Effect Of UV Degradation And UV Protector Paints On Stockpiles Of FBE Coated Pipeline

Product Number: 51322-17853-SG

Fusion bonded epoxy (FBE) is the primary coating used in North America for new pipeline construction and is strongly featured in the Middle East1. Pre-coated FBE pipe is routinely stockpiled and stored in large quantities at several locations close to pipeline right-of-ways. Once stockpiled, most of the pipesremain un-used until an inspection and remediation program is initiated2. Integrity projects purchase FBE coated pipe in advance and stockpile it until it is required. In addition, project delays and left-over pipe from completed projects can cause stockpiling for future use for undetermined periods of time. Under ultraviolet (UV) exposure in the presence of air, photooxidative degradation of FBE coatings occurs due to photometrical reactions arising from UV absorption.
