2025 Cultural Heritage Digitalization Forum Highlights New Breakthroughs in Preservation – Silicone Resin Becomes a “Guardian Tool”

Recently, the 2025 Cultural Heritage Digitalization Forum attracted wide attention across the industry. The forum not only focused on cutting-edge trends in the digital transmission of cultural heritage but also spotlighted innovations in preservation materials. Among them, silicone resin, with its unique properties, became a much-discussed “guardian tool” for relics, offering a new solution for long-term cultural heritage protection.

In the exhibition area, a series of before-and-after images vividly demonstrated the application effects of silicone resin: weathered and cracked stone artifacts regained smooth surfaces, the seams of broken ceramics became nearly invisible, and murals on the verge of detachment were reinforced and stabilized. According to the presenters, the core advantage of silicone resin lies in its special molecular structure — a chemical backbone based on silicon-oxygen bonds that grants excellent weather resistance. Even under extreme conditions such as alternating high and low temperatures or intense UV exposure, the material maintains stability, effectively preventing relics from aging and deforming.

“It’s like putting an invisible protective coat on cultural relics,” explained one presenter, using animations to illustrate further. The hydrophobic nature of silicone resin prevents moisture from penetrating into artifacts, reducing the risk of corrosion and mold. At the same time, its transparent coating preserves the original color and texture, addressing the common issue with traditional protective materials that “protect but diminish beauty.” Moreover, the material demonstrates strong adaptability for different restoration needs: when used for bonding ceramics or metals, its high adhesion and flexibility prevent secondary cracking; when applied to murals, its strong penetrability reaches deep into the base layer, enhancing mechanical strength and stopping pigment layers from peeling off.

At the forum, many cultural heritage preservation experts engaged in in-depth discussions on the prospects of silicone resin. “Currently, silicone resin has achieved remarkable results in stone, ceramic, and mural preservation, but further improvements are needed,” one expert noted. Future efforts should focus on enhancing compatibility with special materials and developing more eco-friendly, efficient formulations. Another expert suggested combining silicone resin with nanotechnology and intelligent monitoring systems to unlock greater value, such as achieving an integrated “protection + monitoring” function.

With evolving concepts of cultural heritage preservation, “technology safeguarding treasures” has become an industry consensus. The forum’s emphasis on silicone resin not only provided a platform for innovation in preservation materials but also fostered closer alignment between “material development” and “heritage needs.” Many participants expressed their expectations for more high-performance materials to emerge in the future, helping humanity’s cultural treasures withstand the test of time and achieve lasting transmission.

At the close of the forum, the large screen displayed the words: “Cultural Heritage Protection – Moving Forward Together.” As the moderator remarked, the exploration of silicone resin applications is a vivid example of the fusion of science and culture. This practice will continue to inject new momentum into heritage conservation, ensuring that millennia-old civilizations flourish with enduring vitality under the protection of modern technology.
