ATR-FT-IR spectra of various conservation materials

ATR-FT-IR spectra were recorded using a Thermo Scientific Nicolet 6700 FT-IR spectrometer with a “Smart Orbit” diamond micro-ATR accessory in region of 4000-225 cm^-1). 

These infrared spectra have been recorded at University of Tartu (Estonia), Institute of Chemistry, Chair of Analytical Chemistry.

ATR-FT-IR spectra of different protein-containing glues like rabbitskin glue, fish glue, bone glue, etc., can be found in the subsection “Binders” (under the “Paint components” section).
