Abstract

This study explores the effectiveness of different coatings in preserving aluminum alloy aircraft wrecks. In cultural heritage conservation, coatings must not only protect artefacts under corrosive exhibition conditions but also maintain their visual integrity and be reversible for future treatments. Three coatings were selected and tested: Paraloid™, commonly used in conservation; Dinitrol™, an industrial product for aluminum protection; and Cutin, a novel coating derived from recycled tomato peels. Each coating was assessed based on its protective ability, aesthetic impact, and reversibility.

Paraloid™, while aesthetically pleasing and easily reversible, offers limited protection, especially outdoors. Dinitrol™ demonstrated superior protective qualities, with high impedance values indicating strong corrosion resistance. However, its reversibility properties are limited. Cutin showed promise as a protective coating. It is also reversible with ethanol. However, its current formulation affects the surface appearance due to residual tomato pigments.

期刊介绍： The aim of this international journal is to analyse and publicise the progress and current state of knowledge in the field of organic coatings and related materials. The Editors and the Editorial Board members will solicit both review and research papers from academic and industrial scientists who are actively engaged in research and development or, in the case of review papers, have extensive experience in the subject to be reviewed. Unsolicited manuscripts will be accepted if they meet the journal''s requirements. The journal publishes papers dealing with such subjects as: • Chemical, physical and technological properties of organic coatings and related materials • Problems and methods of preparation, manufacture and application of these materials • Performance, testing and analysis.
