"The French Atomic Energy Commission (Commissariat l'Energie Atomique - CEA) launched the Nucleart programme in 1970. The aim was to use certain specific properties of gamma radiation in the conservation of cultural heritage objects. The Centre d'Etudes et de Traitement des Bois Gorgs d'Eau (CETBGE - Centre for Waterlogged Wood Studies and Treatment) was set up in 1981, under a partnership agreement between the CEA, the Ministry of Culture and the City of Grenoble. Various types of treatment, including freeze-drying, PEG impregnation were used and restoration work began on archaeological wood objects. ARC-Nucleart (Atelier Regional de Conservation Nucleart) was formed in 1989 when the CETBGE and Nucleart laboratory merged." (from website)

AW-2

== Description ==
[BASF] A brand name for a polycyclohexanone resin that was developed in 1929 and manufactured in Germany from 1950 until 1967. It was replaced by BASF Ketone Resin N. AW-2 is the condensation product of cyclohexanone and methyl cyclohexanone. Polycyclohexanones resemble dammar in that they are soluble in turpentine and form a glossy, colorless coating. However, they are harder and exhibit less wrinkling, blooming and yellowing than natural resins. Because polycyclohexanone coatings are hard, however, many formulations add a plasticizer for flexibility and many of the plasticizers tend to yellow. Additionally the polycyclohexanones oxidize, become brittle and less soluble with age. They have been used for retouching and occasionally for picture varnishes.
== Physical and Chemical Properties ==
Soluble in turpentine and mineral spirits.
