Applications:

1. Cyclododecane as a Material for Artifact Conservation

Cyclododecane is a commonly used and very important material for artifact conservation, primarily used for temporary reinforcement or sealing.

Temporary Reinforcement: Stabilizing artifacts with cracks, delamination, or warping (such as painted wood carvings or fragile archaeological fragments) for handling, transportation, or further restoration.

Temporary Sealing: Used in humid environments or underwater archaeology for temporary stabilization and extraction of fragile artifacts (such as underwater bamboo strips), or to protect moisture-sensitive parts.

Cyclododecane is widely used in archaeology and artifact restoration, especially in situations requiring short-term, reversible protection.

Cyclododecane is used as a temporary adhesive or sealing medium to stabilize or protect fragile, water-sensitive parts of artifacts.

During artifact cleaning, cyclododecane can be used to protect water-sensitive areas.

Before archaeological excavation or artifact transportation, cyclododecane can be used to temporarily reinforce fragile artifacts such as wood, stone, painted surfaces, and lacquerware to prevent damage during handling.

Cyclododecane, due to its slow evaporation, can provide reinforcement or sealing effects that last from several days to several weeks. Once the protection is complete, it naturally sublimates and disappears, leaving no permanent residue or impact on the artifact, making it an ideal temporary protective material.

Cyclododecane can be melted or dissolved in a non-polar organic solvent (such as petroleum ether) before application.

While other novel volatile temporary reinforcement materials (such as menthol and its derivatives) are being researched and used, cyclododecane remains one of the recognized and widely used temporary, reversible artifact protection materials.

2: Cyclododecane is a precursor in the synthesis of dodecyllactam, an important monomer in the production of the high-performance polymer Nylon 12.

3: Cyclododecane is an intermediate in the production of flame retardants, cleaning agents, and other compounds.
