Abstract

The present investigation is dedicated to the analysis of a set of pastas made from the marrow of ground maize cane and agglutinated with two products of vegetable origin: the cactus (chumbera) parenchyma of the species Opuntia robusta and the aloe (Aloe Vera) of the species Aloe barbadensis. The purpose of the mixtures with different combinations and proportions of their components, is to obtain a paste that has the suitable characteristics for its use in the volumetric reintegration of polychrome sculptures with woody supports and to promote the use of local, natural, non-polluting and sustainable products.Theanalysisand comparison ofthespecimens wascarried outbyperformingteststhatreflecttheirbehaviorunderdifferentcircumstances and the deterioration factors that affect them during and after preparation. The results obtained show if the characteristics and the degradation or alteration that they present make them suitable in some cases for the restoration of structural shortages in polychrome sculpture. All of the research has been developed in Mexico, where maize cane paste has been frequently used as a sculptural material, therefore it is about adapting these traditional materials to volumetric reintegration when compatibility allows it, promoting the use of harmless, accessible and sustainable materials.

Project objectives

La investigación persigue los siguientes objetivos: analizar pastas elaboradas con médula de caña de maíz aglutinadas con parénquima de Opuntia robusta y Aloe barbadensis; evaluar diferentes combinaciones y proporciones de estos componentes para obtener una pasta adecuada para la reintegración volumétrica de soportes de madera en esculturas policromadas; determinar el comportamiento y factores de deterioro de las pastas bajo diversas condiciones; comparar las características y degradaciones para valorar su idoneidad en restauración estructural; y promover el uso de materiales locales, naturales, no contaminantes y sostenibles en la conservación escultórica.

Most relevant results

La investigación evaluó pastas elaboradas con médula de caña de maíz aglutinadas con parénquima de Opuntia robusta y Aloe barbadensis para la reintegración volumétrica de soportes de madera en esculturas policromadas. Los resultados más relevantes son: 1) las mezclas presentan diferentes comportamientos frente a factores de deterioro durante y después de su preparación; 2) algunas combinaciones mostraron características adecuadas para la restauración de faltantes estructurales; 3) se identificó la compatibilidad de ciertos componentes con soportes de madera, favoreciendo su uso en reintegración volumétrica; 4) se confirmó la viabilidad de utilizar productos locales, naturales y sostenibles en restauración; 5) el estudio adaptó materiales tradicionales mexicanos para aplicaciones contemporáneas en conservación.
