CSIRO has resin formula down to a fine artTranscript
[Violin music plays and an image appears of the CSIRO logo in the corner of a painting of two men in conversation]
[Image changes to show a laboratory worker squeezing liquid from a syringe into a machine and text appears: What do Rembrandt and flow chemistry have in common?]
[Image changes to show a portrait of Van Dyck]
[Image changes back to show the painting of the two men in conversation again]
[Image changes to show a rear view of a male operating a touch screen]
[Image changes to show the portrait of Van Dyck again and the camera zooms in on the portrait]
[Image changes to show a male walking up to a laboratory bench and text appears: Masterpieces by Rembrandt and van Dyck housed at the National Gallery of Victoria…]
[Image changes to show the male’s hands unscrewing a lid from a plastic container and text appears: : … have been restored to their former glory…]
[Image changes to show granules being measured out and put into a white dish resting on some scales and text appears: … and protected for years to come.]
[Image changes to show a laboratory worker at a laboratory bench and text appears: Thanks to a special varnish resin that we developed at…]
[Camera zooms in on the male working at a machine on the laboratory bench and text appears: … our world-class flow chemistry facility called FloWorks.]
[Image changes to show a sculpture of a Japanese woman in the background and a young naked male in the foreground and text appears: We worked with Australia’s oldest and most visited gallery…]
[Image changes to show people walking past the outside of the National Gallery of Victoria and text appears: … the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV).]
[Image changes to show a paintbrush being wiped on the edge of a white bowl and text appears: … to make the synthetic resin called MS3.]
[Image changes to show a facing view of a male working in a laboratory and text appears: Flow chemistry is a cutting-edge technology…]
[Image changes to show a hand pressing and adjusting a dial on a machine and text appears: … providing a safer, cleaner and more efficient way to manufacture chemicals.]
[Image changes to show lights lit and glowing orange on the machine]
[Image changes to show the brush brushing across the surface of a portrait and text appears: Designed specifically for conservation and cultural heritage applications…]
[Images move through of a male holding a lid and looking down at a machine, the hoses on the machine, and then plastic dispensing bottles on shelves and text appears: … MS3 resin has now been commercialised by Melbourne chemical manufacturer Boron Molecular.]
[Image changes to show a line moving from the machine into a clear plastic bottle and then the image changes to show seven white dishes containing various coloured granules and text appears: The new resin matches the rich surface sheen of traditional varnishes like dammar…]
[Image changes to show a digital display at 1.96 and text appears: … but without the yellowing and cracking as it ages.]
[Image changes to show granules in a white dish being held in the hand and text appears: As well as providing a protective coating and enhancing the visual aesthetic…]
[Image changes to show the brush moving across the portrait and text appears: … MS3 can be removed without damaging a painting’s underlying paint layers.]
[Image changes to show a rear view of a male brushing resin with a paintbrush over the surface of a portrait on an easel and text appears: After extensive testing at the NGV…]
[Image changes to show a profile view of the male brushing resin with a paintbrush over the surface of a portrait on an easel and text appears: … MS3 resin has now been trialled by conservators working in several of the world’s major art institutions.]
[Image changes to show the painting of the two men in conversation again and text appears: It has already been put to use on important works of art.]
[Camera zooms out gradually on the painting and new text appears: This is another example of how CSIRO is solving the greatest challenges through innovative science and technology.]
