With increased interest in stone preservation, it is desirable to know what causes stone to decay, and what materials can be used to preserve stone. This review covers the following topics: causes of stone decay, including faults in the stone, salts, natural weathering factors, air pollution, living organisms, and most importantly, water action; various materials that have been used to preserve stone, including paints, waxes, oils, inorganic chemical surface treatments and impregnants, silicones, siliconates, and synthetic organic polymers; methods of evaluating stone preservatives. Field and laboratory procedures for testing stone preservatives, the cleaning of stone, a glossary, and a bibliography are given in appendices. (Modified author abstract)
