Abstract
The presence of water controls the chemical and mechanical decay of stone. Laboratory experiments have shown that application of perfluoropolyethers reduces the water absorption of stone while the rate of loss of humidity of the stone by evaporation is not affected. See also AATA 18-1556, 19-614, 20-882 for related studies and 21-914 for complete proceedings.
