Abstract

The efficiency of polymer removal from surfaces of cultural heritage objects depends primarily on the selection of appropriate solvent. This selection could be performed experimentally or in a theoretical way by comparing the solubility parameters of the substance to be removed, the base and the considered solvent. The theoretical method of selection is environment-friendly and lowers the risk of damaging the object being cleaned by an inappropriate solvent. In this paper, the development of solubility parameter models is summarized; the review is focused mainly on the Hansen model which is the most used one.
