Hi,
Found an interesting compound in old Soviet book about archaeological items and their preservation in museums. It's positioned as a good working one for copper and its alloys...may be zinc as well?
I recite: The surface of copper and its alloys can be preserved from oxidation using the wax covering with addition of benzotriazole. To get the compound you have to dissolve wax in turpentine and benzotriazole in ethyl alcohol, and then mix them together.
Now the question (before I'll write the exact % of every substance
) : what do experienced people --like Paul R--think about it? Is it worth of attention? Benzotriazole seems to be a good inhibitor...but since the book is old and Soviet , the main question is if this substance is not hazardous for health. Thanx for attention!
