| Abstract: | This study investigates the potential of using backing protection materials to shield a painting from microbial infestation. The aim is to evaluate the suitability of various materials and treatment methods for minimizing mold growth and associated damage. To this end, different materials are tested for their resistance to microbial attack under laboratory conditions and following a microbial and climatic environmental analysis in a real-world setting. The results show that water vapor-permeable materials with antimicrobial properties can of- fer effective protection, whereas vapor-tight materials may accelerate microbial growth. The potential of biocidal treatments could not be fully assessed due to the lack of long-term data. Overall, the study highlights the importance of a combined consideration of material proper- ties, antimicrobial effects, and climatic conditions for the long-term preservation of paintings in challenging building environments. The findings provide a foundation for the further de- velopment of effective backing protection systems. |
