Description
Chemically an ethyl methacrylate co-polymer, Paraloid B-72 is a durable and non-yellowing acrylic polymer used for consolidating wall paintings (1-5%), fragile wood (5-20%), etc. It may be used as a fixative when diluted with a solvent to secure markings on artifacts and as an adhesive (50%+) for a variety of substrates. Paraloid B-72 is soluble in acetone, toluene and isopranol. It may initially appear cloudy when dispersed in alcohols but will dry clear. Sold in granular form.
