D5 (decamethylcyclopentasiloxane), a non-polar solvent that evaporates slowly, was tested for its suitability as a temporary masking agent for water-sensitive media on paper objects undergoing aqueous treatment. Three different treatment-related settings were tested on five different paper types, some prepared with water-soluble inks. In 10-min water immersion treatments, D5 proved largely ineffectual in protecting the water-soluble inks. In conjunction with melt-applications of cyclododecane, the addition of D5 enhanced its barrier function only in one case. To test the ability of D5 to prevent tideline formation, the test samples received applications of water, acetone, and a water-ethanol-mixture, creating an interface with freshly D5-impregnated areas. The papers were evaluated visually (VIS, UVA), some after artificial aging. D5 diminished the formation of visible tidelines in the two internally sized papers with low water absorbency in contact with acetone and the ethanol-water mixture, but did not prevent tidelines in contact with water. It also did not protect water-absorbent paper. The results indicate that D5, which is miscible with ethanol and acetone, may disperse tidelines caused by these solvents, but it proved largely insufficient for protecting media during water immersion.
