👉 Preservation fluids are specialized chemical solutions used to prevent the degradation of organic materials, such as wood, textiles, and paper, by inhibiting biological growth like mold, bacteria, and insects. These fluids typically contain biocides, which are substances that kill or inhibit the growth of microorganisms, and sometimes antioxidants to prevent oxidation. By creating an inhospitable environment for these pests and pathogens, preservation fluids extend the lifespan of artifacts and materials in storage or display, ensuring their integrity and appearance are maintained over time.
