The Nanbo (China)-Baiton (Singapore) Paralon Cultural Relics Conservation Laboratory, jointly established by Nanjing Museum and Singapore PentaTechnology (Suzhou) Co., Ltd., held a signing and unveiling ceremony at Nanjing Museum on the 14th, and began its formal operation. Xi Sancai, vice president of Nanjing Museum, told reporters that a special Paralun cultural relics protection laboratory was established to conduct related research. Nanjing Museum is currently the only one in China.

Parylene is a new type of conformal coating material developed and applied by Union Carbide Co. of the United States in the mid-1960s. It can be coated on surfaces of various shapes, in salt spray, mold, humidity, corrosive, etc. It has good isolation protection in harsh environments. The application of Paralon in the protection of cultural relics is one of the most advanced cultural relics protection technologies in the world today. It can solve cultural relics protection problems that cannot be solved by other materials. The cultural relics protected by Paralon have excellent waterproof and anti-corrosion properties, and the life of the cultural relics can be extended by more than a thousand years.

As early as the early 1990s, the Nanjing Museum began to study the protection technology of Paralun cultural relics and achieved some results. After the protection of a number of important cultural relics in the Shanghai Museum collection, such as fish skin clothing, the protection and display effects are very significant; while in Singapore PentaTechnology Company is a provider of Parylene equipment, vacuum coating technology and related after-sales services. After the establishment of the laboratory jointly established by the two parties, it will mainly conduct research on the coating protection of precious cultural relics such as ancient silk, ancient clothing, ancient books, and fossils, so that ancient cultural relics can be better preserved. PentaTechnology welcomes customers to order parylene coating equipment or coating processing.
