Study: use of nanolime for conservation

Cultural Heritage objects built from calcareous material are often exposed to adverse environmental conditions which may cause significant damage. The so called nano lime has been used to protect and conserve them. The Czech, German and Italian scientists - among them our colleagues from Centre Telč ITAM CAS, Radek Ševčík, Dita Machová and Alberto Viani - studied the efficiency of the material in protecting the cultural heritage objects in Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum (MLZ). They used only non-invasive methods.
