Abstract
La cantidad de objetos de plástico que se encuentra en las colecciones de los museos es, sin lugar a dudas, cada vez mayor. Por ello, no es de sorprender que la conservación de los objetos realizados en materiales plásticos esté ganando cada vez mayor interés y atención. Existen numerosos artículos publicados acerca de la composición, fabricación y reciclado de plásticos, pero no tanto sobre su degradación, y muy pocos sobre su limpieza y conservación. Durante los últimos años, algunas instituciones han desarrollado proyectos relacionados con la limpieza de plásticos o cursos de formación sobre la conservación de materiales modernos. Algunas de estas instituciones son: el ICN, (“Netherlands Institute of Cultural Heritage”), el “Institute for Conservation Sciences of Cologne” y la “School of Conservation of Copenhagen”, esta última en colaboración con el “Statens Museum for Kunst” o el “Nacional Museum of Denmark”. Otros, como el Getty Conservation Institute o el proyecto POPART (Preservation of Plastic ARTefacts in museums) se han centrado en extensos programas e investigaciones sobre la limpieza de plásticos. Por otra parte, la limpieza de la superficie es una parte fundamental en el campo de la conservación activa de los materiales plásticos, lo que requiere un profundo conocimiento de dichos materiales, su reactividad y degradación, resultando en muchos casos difícil para conservadores y científicos. Por tanto, la limpieza de plásticos puede considerarse un tema complejo, pero al mismo tiempo interesante y necesario, lo que lo convierte en un desafío dentro del mundo de la conservación...

On the other hand, surface cleaning is a vital part on the field of active conservation of plastics, requiring a deep knowledge about plastics materials, reactivity and degradation, which is sometimes difficult for conservators and scientists.
