Used as a temporary consolidant and protective coating in conservation of archaeological and cultural heritage objects. It sublimes slowly at room temperature, leaving no residue, making it ideal for stabilizing fragile materials like paper, textiles, and porous stones during excavation or transport. Commonly applied in field conservation to hold delicate structures together until permanent treatment can be carried out. Also used in mold making and as a carrier for waxes in surface treatments where solvent-free application is needed.
