Surfactant-Free w/o Gelled Emulsions with Benzyl Alcohol: Analytical Study for Varnish Removal on Oil Paintings

In this study, the use of surfactant-free water-in-oil gelled emulsions containing benzyl alcohol (BAl/w) is proposed as an alternative to the more traditional use of organic solvents for removing varnishes. To mitigate the strong swelling and solvent action of benzyl alcohol and protect the paint a...
