Résumé
This research explored the suitability of the commercial polysaccharide antigraffiti coating 'PSS 20' as a preventive conservation measure for marble and three types of sandstone. Because of the various methods of scientific study of materials currently practiced in architectural conservation, this research presented a methodology for evaluating sacrificial anti-graffiti coatings. Two methods of applying the coating, by brush and by professional spraying, were compared. The aesthetic and physical properties of the coating were tested and evaluated.
