Over the centuries, humans have developed different systems to protect surfaces from the influence of environmental factors. Protective paints are the most used ones. They have undergone considerable development over the years, especially at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Indeed, between the two centuries, new binders and pigments have been introduced in the constituent materials of paints. The years in which these compounds have been introduced and spread in the paint market allow them to be defined as markers for the dating of paints and painted artifacts. The present work is focused on the study of the paints of two vehicles of the Frankfurt Museum of Communication, i.e., a carriage and a cart, that was designed for the German Postal and Telecommunications Service roughly between 1880 and 1920. The characterization of the paints was performed through in situ non-invasive techniques, i.e., portable optical microscopy and multispectral imaging, and laboratory non-destructive techniques, i.e., FT-IR ATR spectroscopy and SEM-EDS. The analytical investigation and the comparison with the data reported in the literature allowed us to determine the historicity of the paints, which are all dated before the 1950s.
几个世纪以来，人类已经开发出不同的系统来保护表面免受环境因素的影响。防护涂料是最常用的一种。它们多年来经历了相当大的发展，特别是在 19 世纪和 20 世纪之交。事实上，在这两个世纪之间，新的粘合剂和颜料被引入到涂料的组成材料中。这些化合物在涂料市场中引入和传播的年份，可以将它们定义为涂料和涂漆制品年代鉴定的标志。本工作主要集中在研究法兰克福通讯博物馆的两辆车辆的涂料上，即一辆马车和一辆手推车，这辆马车和手推车大约是在 1880 年至 1920 年期间为德国邮政和电信服务设计的。涂料的特征是通过现场非侵入性技术，即便携式光学显微镜和多光谱成像，以及实验室非破坏性技术，即 FT-IR ATR 光谱和 SEM-EDS 进行的。分析研究并与文献中报道的数据进行比较，使我们能够确定涂料的历史，所有涂料都可以追溯到 20 世纪 50 年代以前。
